A collection of proto slasher movies that premiered before the 1980s starting with Psycho, which is the starting point for the evolving genre until it found its textbook definition with Halloween in 1978.
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."
This list specifically focuses on the evolution of the Slasher genre and thus excludes pre-1960 films, generic serial killer flics, exploitation movies, giallos, krimis, and psychological horror films. While a few films from these categories have been included as they were influential in introducing certain tropes, such as the final girl, to the Slasher genre.
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.
Missing on Trakt:
- Aur Kaun? (1979)
The decade of slow burners, atmosphere and maybe even a little bit of the occult.
