By the start of the 1990s the market for Slashers had dried up and we entered an area of post-modern Slashers, where the genre reflected on itself. When Gus van Sant remade "Psycho" shot per shot we came full circle.
The genre went on life support...
Genre definition: "Definition: A slasher movie is characterized by a villain who is skilled at killing and uses weapons other than firearms to stalk and target a group of young individuals, resulting in a significant number of victims. This villain may be either human or formerly human."
If I missed any movie you think that should be on this list or if you find some obvious mistakes please let me know and I'll make the appropriate adjustments.
Contemporary fears, remakes and some might even say, a reinterpretation of the genre in the later half of the decade.
