Anyone else highly wish for a slasher/horror villains fighting video game?

Licensing issues aside, I can imagine a fighting game with all these horror villains. I would imagine it being like Mortal Kombat with the fatality finishers. Stages like Freddy's boiler room, Haddonfield, and Leviathan hell are some of the stages that come to mind. What do you think of this concept and who/what would you add?

Which Slasher film has a Better 3rd Act: I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) or Scream 7 (2026)

Gore or atmosphere?

Definitely both is important, I mean more like leaning TCM 1974 or more towards violence? As I think there must be a - highly respectable - target group for say the gory remakes of classics.

What is your favorite slasher’s signature move?

For Michael, I’d say his signature move is pinning people to walls with sharp objects. He’s done that multiple times in the franchise.

No One Lives (2013)

No One Lives is a brutal, fast-paced horror thriller that flips the usual “victims vs killers” formula in a fun way. Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura and starring Luke Evans, the movie follows a gang of criminals who kidnap the wrong man — only to discover he’s far more dangerous than they are.

Ranking Slasher Franchises: Part Fives

  1. Scream (2022)- The first Scream movie since the first two that felt like a grounded, serious horror/ suspense film. The new blood (Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega in particular) makes this one feel fresh compared to 2-3.

  2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)- A significant cut above most of the other classic slasher remakes of the 2000's. The cinematography in this film is absolutely incredible.

  3. A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child- I don't care about the haters, I dig this movie. It's goofy as hell and often incoherent, but man the gothic atmosphere and special effects are so cool.

  4. Friday The 13th: A New Beginning- A black sheep sequel that I've slowly but strongly come around to. Putting aside the ending twist, it more than delivers on what you want from a Friday flick.

  5. Seed of Chucky- Yeah this movie has a lot of problems, but it's fun as fuck and I admire the hell out of it's bat shit crazy ambition.

  6. Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toymaker- This movie has it's moments of Puppet Master-like fun, but overall it's kind of an inert letdown after part 5.

  7. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers- Everything that went wrong with the Halloween series started with this piece of shit right here. The ridiculous supernatural plot, killing off a beloved character unceremoniously, humanizing Michael, annoying characters etc...

  8. Psycho (1998)- Man, fuck this movie on principle. The entire idea of remaking a classic like Psycho shot for shot is personally fucking disgusting and offensive to me.

  9. Prom Night (2008)- Quite possibly the worst slasher movie ever made relative to it's high budget. Bland, not scary, not atmospheric, no gory, garbage, slop.

Rituals (1977), has anyone here seen?

A Canadian wilderness proto slasher from 1977, for years the film was hard to come by and even today it doesn’t get mentioned enough. Five doctor friends go on an annual camping trip in the desolate Canadian wilderness, only to be hunted by a wildman playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with their lives. Hal Holbrook stars in the lead role, with the remaining cast of mostly unknown actors. It’s a pretty great little movie for what it is, despite its pretty obvious similarities to Deliverance (1972), worth a watch for sure imo.

Now that Crystal Lake has a premiere date, here's what we hope to see in the Friday the 13th prequel

Out of curiosity, what do you hope to see in the Crystal Lake series? I'm looking forward to it, but I hope it's not all trauma-focused, since it's A24-produced.

The premise is always the same, but the style can differ: Profondo Rosso (1975) di Dario Argento ■ A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) by Wes Craven ● Scream (1996) by Wes Craven ■ It Follows (2014) by David Robert Mitchell ● Suspiria (2018) di Luca Guadagnino

looking for very 2000s horror/slasher/thriller

hi all! i watched jeepers creepers two days ago, and then joy ride at the internets recommendation yesterday, and i’m looking for more movies of that vibe. not necessarily like road trips, but like the very quintessential 2000s-ness of them. i have developed an odd 2000s itch that needs scratching. thanks!

Mindhunters Thoughts

I found this to be a pretty good movie that is different with it focus on FBI profiles trying to survive and figured out who is the killer is. It contains interesting clues and even the kills are pretty brutal when you see it. Also, it contains pretty good acting too. Overall, its a good slasher movie that is underrated.

Endings

What's your favorite ending for a slasher movie ?

  1. The killer dies and that's the end (Dr. Giggles 1992, Cold Prey 2)...

  2. The killer survives (either we think he's dead, or he kills the protagonists)

  3. The killer is dead, but an external threat is revealed at the end (I'm thinking of The Prowler 1981, Pieces (1982)...)

  4. We think the killer is dead, but a scene shows something that might make us think he's alive (The Boy, Sorority Row...)

  5. The killer dies in the first film, but comes back in the sequel (See No Evil, Cold Prey)...

  6. When the killer, whom we believe to be dead, gets up for one last gasp before becoming the killer.

  7. When the badly wounded killer gets up and attacks anyway, and is obviously killed (Scream 1...)

So, which one do you prefer, and have I forgotten any?

Another letterboxd post! What slasher film you've rated has the biggest gap between your score and the average rating?

You could of really loved it while the ratings are mixed/negative or you could have really disliked it while the consensus is it was good/great.

Mine is Jason Takes Manhattan. It has an average score of 2.1 but I gave that baby a 4! I love that were out of the woods and the isolated unique location. The kills, while edited down to hell, still come across as brutal. The whole movie is just a vibe and very fun. It is dumb and I totally get why people rate it low but this film has always been a blast to me.
