Drumdums Top 10 GREATEST SLASHER MOVIES! 

Good list. What's classified as a slasher is so subjective. I personally wouldn't consider Texas Chainsaw, Psycho, Phantasm, Hellraiser, Candyman, Wolf Creek, Devils Rejects as slashers but if someone said they were I wouldn't argue. My list is 1. Halloween 2. Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Black Christmas 4. Deep Red 5. Tenebrae 6. Scream 7. The Bird with the Crystal Plummage 8. Friday The 13th Part 4. 9. Terror Train 10. Prom Night

Slashers are my favorite sub genre of movies

"we horror fans don't get scared that often, we just like the rush!" I love you, Lee!

If Psycho made people afraid of showers the Shinning made me afraid of baths. 😲

Finally, someone else who loves Halloween 4

I'm afraid to take a shower, because of "Jaws", not "Psycho"...I need help.

10: My Bloody Valentine 09: Terrifier 08: Silent Nigh Deadly Night 07: Scream 06: Psycho II 05: A Nightmare on Elm-Street 04: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 03: Sleep-away Camp 02: Halloween 01: Friday the 13th The Final Chapter

My top 10 10. Maniac 9. The Slumber Party Massacre 8. Halloween 2 (1981) 7. Madman 6. Urban Legend 5. A nightmare on elm st : 3 Dream Warrior's 4. The Burning 3. Friday The 13Th part: 7 The New Blood 2. Sleepaway Camp 1. My Bloody Valentine

Thank GOD you included Black Christmas. Billy is a great character, I agree. It was also the first holiday horror film. Halloween was originally conceived of as a sequel to Halloween. Carpenter asked Clark if he was going to do a sequel. He said no, that he was done with horror, but if he were to, he’d have the killer escape from a mental institution on Oct 31, and name it-you guessed it-Halloween. Carpenter took it from there, and the rest is history.

10 terror train 9 the prowler 8 scream 7 sleepaway camp 6 the burning 5 madman 4 night mare on elm street 3 Friday the 13th part 6 2 Black Christmas 1 halloween

Good list! Here’s mine: 10. Friday the 13th part 2 9. Prom Night 8. The Fog 7. A nightmare on Elm Street 6. Psycho II 5. Sleepaway Camp 4. Black Christmas 3. Scream 2. Halloween 1. Psycho

Great list, Lee! It's so nice to see people giving props to Halloween 4! I LOVE Halloween 4! Some of my favorite slasher films are Halloween (1978), Psycho, Halloween 4, Jason Lives, The Final Chapter, Halloween 2 (1981), Friday the 13th Part 2, and Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Halloween stole from Black Christmas, then Friday the 13th stole from Halloween, then the 80s stole from Friday.

Fun Fact: The original My Bloody Valentine is Quentin Tarantino’s favorite slasher movie.

Great video. My top 10 in no particular order are 1. Halloween ( masterpiece and one of the best horror films of all time) 2. Psycho ( Classic) 3. is a tie between Friday the 13th part 4 the final chapter and part 6 Jason lives ( both are my all time favorite Friday the 13th films) 4. A Nightmare on Elm street (Great film ) 5. Childs play 2 (so much fun and my favorite film in the franchise ) 6. Scream ( such a great film ) 7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ( amazing ) 8. The Strangers ( Great film and very creepy ) 9. You're Next ( great film. Second favorite film that Adam Wingard directed after the Guest witch i don't consider the Guest a Slasher film ) 10. Hatchet 3 ( This might surprise some people but this is my favorite of the 4 Hatchet films )

1. Friday the 13th (1980) - the heyday of the slasher genre in the 80's when they showed blood, gore and decapitation. It led the genre into the new decade and made it more popular than ever..... and copycats would follow. 2. Nightmare on Elm Street- Freddy Krueger brought it up to a different level. Surgically sharpened knives on a glove that'll rip through you as you can't escape sleep. He didn't just kill his victims but play twisted games of cat & mouse with you before slicing, drowning, burning or whatever sick way he could send you to your doom 3. Black Christmas - before Silent Night Deadly Night, Black Christmas took the slasher genre and turned it on it's heels that inspired films like Halloween and Friday the 13th. That and it's kills are enough to put it on the top 10 list. 4. Halloween - You can't have a list without Halloween. Perhaps the first movie that took the horror genre into the new decade . John Carpenters classic created a new, faceless boogyman. No ryme or reason. Just a cold blooded killer who'll stop at nothing until he kills that person. 5. Psycho - Hitchcock's gigantic masterpiece set in first person view from the killers perspective and switches to the people in the film. Sounds familiar? Friday the 13th did it as well. Shows that the films legacy and how it was filmed got passed on thanks to it's influential viewpoint and direction. 6. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Cannibalism, psycho's wearing skin masks, a weird eating scene with Grandpa.... Yeah it's influence of the genre shook heads with it's creepy dark morbic tone 7. Scream - Modern day nods to the old horror rules spun in the 90's by the master himself Wes Craven. Unknown killer slices and dices teens who don't abide by the rules.... 8. Child's Play - Talk about any killer doll and the first one that comes up is Chucky. There would be no Annabelle without the 1988 hit about a local killer who transfers his soul into a good guy doll and desperately tries to get out by voodoo and into a boy who first discovers his true identity. 9. Friday the 13th part IV: The Final Chapter - Fourth entry in the series didn't disappoint as it had it all. Better kills, antagonist (Tommy Jarvis) and a great ending to what was going to wrap up the series. 10. Sleepaway Camp - Mysterious killer hacking people up at a camp. Sounds familiar? Like many would afterwards, Sleepaway Camp takes a nod from Friday the 13th and adds a oh so shocking twist at the end of the movie that'll leave you horrified and stunned. With plenty of unique kills in between.

Black Christmas started it all. It was a huge influence on Carpenter. Carpenter once asked Bob Clark if he’d ever do a sequel to Black Christmas and Clark said no. Carpenter then asked if he were to do one, what would it be about. Clark’s answer: “..it would be the next year and the guy would have actually been caught, escape from a mental institution, go back to the house, and they would start all over again. And I would call it Halloween.”

Idk if all of these on my list would be considered slasher films but to me they are. Your list was tho awesome man. Here's mine.. 1. Halloween (1978) 2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) 3. Friday the 13th (Final Chapter) 4. Scream 5. Psycho 6. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 7. Saw (the original one wasn't gore porn imo) 8. Child's Play 9. My Bloody Valentine 10. Prom Night

1. Halloween 2. Psycho 3. Scream 4. A nightmare on elm street 5. Friday the 13th part 4: The final chapter 6. Texas Chainsaw 7. Child's play 2 8. Black Christmas 9. Friday the 13th part 6: Jason lives 10. Happy Death day

My top ten slasher movies: 1.) Psycho ( I know most don't consider it a slasher, but I feel most slasher movies owe it to the success of this movie) 2.) Halloween 1978 3.) Scream 4.) Halloween 2018 5.) Friday The 13th Part 4 6.) My Bloody Valentine 1981 7.) Halloween II 1981 8.) Psycho II 9.) Friday The 13th Part 3 ( more of a guilty pleasure) 10.) Nightmare On Elm Street I always felt that My Bloody Valentine was super underrated, and it's a shame we never got a sequel. Especially considering SPOILER ALERT...........................................................they never caught the killer.

Great vid Lee. Loving that you have the burning and sleepaway camp. Love them both.

I haven't heard of a few of these! Dave and I just finished this video, adding a few movies to our watch list! As always, a great video, Lee!!

A lot of great picks! I just recently watched Sleepaway Camp and that ending is terrific.

This was awesome, Lee! Keep it up man.

I want to say how much i appreciate your channel and your care for us in responding to posts here and on Twitter. means alot. you have a great Thanksgiving.

awesome review Lee out of all your videos this was the one i was most intrigued by. There was a couple on your list i have not seen i need to check out i.e The Burning. No Halloween 6? lol. Slasher is my favourite within the horror genre but to do a top 10 would be tough. top 10 horrors is far easier but here goes - 10. Halloween H20 ( i have a massive soft spot for this movie) 9. Child's Play (i think its a slasher!) 8. Friday The 13TH (1980) 7. Halloween 4 6. Valentine 5. Friday The 13TH part 3 4. Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) 3. Pyscho 2. Scream 1. Halloween (1978) I am also a massive fan of movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes and Wrong Turn but i don't think they are classed as slashers more sort of Hillbilly cannibal type killers!!

New subscriber!, this is a really good countdown. I need to watch more 70/80 flicks😁, thanks man

Hey Lee, great list. I completely agree with you about F13: The Final Chapter. A couple of slashers I really enjoy that I think aren't that well known outside the horror community are Pieces and the first Slumber Party Massacre. They're both so much fun. I think I'd also put Texas Chainsaw Massacre on my list. Thanks for the video👍🏻

My favorite -psycho 2 -candyman farewell to the flesh -clownhouse -the hills have eyes -a nightmare on elm street 3 dream warriors -scream -friday the 13th the final chapter -happy deth day -my bloody valentine -child's play -the texas chainsaw masscre -halloween

very well done video man i'm a really big fan of slasher films!

What an awesome list thank you Lee for even mentioning slasher films I’ve never even heard of or have yet seen. Such as black Christmas I still need to see that, I will be popping in Scream today. I need an escape away from these unprecedented times. Number one should definitely be “ Halloween” Hands Down!🤟🏾🎃 Also thank you for leaving information regard merch, I’d like to show more of some of my support for you and your channel. So I’m going to check out the store, I started to dm you via instagram and ask about the shirts you’re wearing and how to find them so thank you for all that you do and for continuously providing such good content as a horror movie fan to escape into and bring even smiles and lite laughter during this time... I appreciate it always.💛

Great list Lee!!!I'm like a kid in a candy store when it comes to slashers but the original Halloween will always be my #1

Nice! There's a few that I haven't seen, and they're going on my list "To Watch" now. 👍👍

Oh my gawd, I LOVE your list! I love every film on your list, as well as your honorable mentions. The only film I've not yet seen is Bay of Blood (but I'm going to see it before the end of this most perfect, festive month!) I love the style that Argento's classic films have. There is nothing in the horror genre like an Argento film! I actually describe Suspiria, Deep Red, Tenebre, and Phenomena as the most "gorgeous, grotesque horror films in the world." His work is art of the highest form! The only film I would like to see receive more love is Silent Night, Deadly Night. So brutal, so fun, so crazy, creepy, campy & just a great slasher!

This is a really great list. I love how high up on the list you have The Burning and Sleepaway Camp. Halloween is my favorite movie of all time so I too would give it the #1 spot. The Prowler has some really brutal kills. It's worth watching just for the gore.

No Terminator 1? Mister "it's a slasher movie" lol. Awesome list man. I need to check out that Bay Of Blood now. Like wow!

Great list! I have added a few movies to my must watch list now: 7-Black Christmas 6-Bay of Blood 4-Tenebrae 3-The Burning 2-Sleepaway Camp Guess I have been living in a bubble and never heard about any of these!

Finally, someone likes the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street

For me the Best slasher of all times is.... Happy Birthday to me ! A solid plot, okay there are some things that are hard to swallow ( not only the skewers... i mean in the plot...) ... it s a masterpiece !

My favorites are, My Bloody Valentine, The Burning, The House On Sorority Row, Black Christmas, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Scream. Slasher is my favorite sub genre of the horror genre.

Coffee on the west coast and a Drumdums top 10. Gonna be a good day. On a side note, have my big job interview at 2pm today... wish me luck y’all! Cheers Lee! 🍻

One thing that really sets Halloween above the rest is the awesome score by John Carpenter. So iconic and terrifying.

Alice, Sweet Alice is such an underrated slasher classic. That would be high on my list as its creepy and such a devastating movie, the killer is fantastic as well. Cool list though there's some great movies on here :)

Great list, dude! I'm loving this channel! Yes, I have taken issue with your #2 selection but I love the fact that we're all different. Is Sleepaway Camp better than Black Christmas, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter, My Bloody Valentine etc..... Um....NO! 🤣👍 But hey, debate is fun! 🔥

Black Christmas 1974.Halloween.Friday The 13th.Sleepaway Camp.Bay of Blood.Pieces.Scream.Wrong Turn.Blood Feast.Headless almost forgot Terrifier

Hey, just recently discovered your channel and I just wanted to let you know that I think you're doing a great job... keep it up! Great list... I've seen all of them except Tenebrea... but now I want to! And.. if you haven't already, you absolutely have to see The Prowler... one of my personal favs... directed by Joe Zito from Friday 4, make-up effects by Tom Savini... and a final girl that strongly resembles Amy Steel from Friday 2... how can ya go wrong with a lineup like that?? Once again, keep up the great work and... I want that book!! lol

I'm glad you gave Halloween 4 a honourable mention it is my second favourite slasher after the original. Great list and vid.

Awesome video Lee and top 10!!! Slasher films are my favorite sub-genre in the horror genre and that slasher movie book is amazing. I got the UK version before the U.S. released it and it's called "Teenage Wasteland". Anyway, amazing picks buddy!!! Sleepaway Camp and The Burning are two of my favorites. I love them both!!! Halloween definitley stands as the best slasher movie of all time. Black Christmas is still one of the creepiest horror films I've ever seen.

This is my list. 10. Blood and black lace (1964) 9. Deep red (1975) 8. The Texas chainsaw massacre (1974) 7. Peeping Tom (1960) 6. Psycho 2 (1983) 5. Black christmas (19747 4. A nightmare on elm street (1984) 3. Halloween (1978) 2. Alice sweet alice (1976) 1. A nightmare on elmstreet dream warriors (1987)

Good list, delighted to see The Burning ranking so high :)

Just an FYI...i just found the book you mentioned at the beginning of your video. It’s on Amazon for $15 new. Thanks for sharing another great video! 👍

Your horror reviews literally get me through my work week! Being a Horror Fanatic Myself I can definately say you give great points information and thoughts on a lot of these franchises. I would love to see you do a take on the HATCHET Series. thank you!

Love love love Sleepaway Camp !! Saw it for my first time a few weeks ago. The ending !!!

Great list, Lee! I think you're really going to dig Dario Argento's Opera, one of his best slasher movies, aside from the laughable ending that is. And Sleepless, too. Enjoy!

Several Argento movies could easily make my list - Suspiria, Deep Red and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage in particular. The original Texas Chainsaw would also definitely make mine. I might also include Inside; I really dig that movie - waiting to see what you think of it. Anyway, great list.

If Tenebrae wasn't on the list I might have unsubbed haha. First video with a shoutout that I didn't get prior warning. Thanks Leesus, love you babe!

The top ten for me 1. Scream 2 2. Scream 1 3. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer 4. I Know What You Did Last Summer 5. Fright Night 6. Urban Legend Final Cut 7. Urban Legend 8. Happy Death Day 9. Happy Death Day 2 You 10. Texas Chainsaw Massacre

In my opinion Mario Bava is the unwitting creator of the slasher genre. His "Bay of Blood", released in 1971, has everything the genre needs to be defined as such and he has clearly anticipated all of them because Black Christmas was released in 1974 while Halloween in 1978. Furthermore, “Blood and Black Lace” is also to be considered. for the importance of having the serial killer in disguise. Another fundamental film is Sergio Martino's “Torso”, released in 1973 if I'm not mistaken, another extremely important film together with Bay of Blood. But Mario Bava is the father of the slasher genre in my opinion.

Thanks for the heads up on the slasher book.you've never seen the prowler it's a must see.

I love Halloween. It is one of my favorite slasher movies of all time. I'm a huge Wes Craven fan. Love scream, a nightmare on elm street and the hills have eyes.

Excellent picks! Couple interesting choices like Tenebrae. Haven't seen that one.

I kinda miss those days of walking in to your local video store and heading straight for the horror section and having a peak at the back covers for some gore coz I was too young to rent 18s. I'd still go home with haunting images and the bedroom light stayed on lol

This was a great list, you have a lot of my favorite scary movies on this list! I will continue watching and just subscribe to your channel

Great list buddy, didn't realize Killer Flicks was yours! I'll join now =)

Great list Lee--- some good stuff in there! Would you consider The Fog a slasher? Or a ghost story? I always wonder about that 😅

Great list, love all of these.

10. Sleepaway Camp 9. The Burning 8. The Shining 7. Child's Play 6. A Nightmare on Elm Street 5. My Bloody Valentine 4. Friday The 13th Part IV 3. Scream 2. Psycho 1. Halloween

So glad to see A Bay of Blood on this list. I too consider it the first example of the modern slasher. Also thrilled to see The Burning on here, as that's always been a personal favorite. You absolutely made the correct choice for #1.

Good list Mine is: 1. Halloween 2. Maniac 3. Sleepaway Camp 4. Friday The 13th Part 4 5. Silent Night Deadly Night 6. Scream 7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 8. Psycho 9. My Bloody Valentine 10. Hatchet

my slasher movie top 10 to 1.psycho, 2 Friday the 13th, 3 sleep way camp, 4 cheerleader camp, 5 graduation day,6 bloody Valentine, 7 nightmare elm Street, 8 screem,9 slumber party mascre, 10 slauter house

I dont have a full list but A Nightmare on Elm Street has always been my favorite. The premise, Wes Craven's directing, Robert Englund and Heather Langenkamp's acting, and the sheer creativity of the whole film are unparalleled to me personally.

Solid list! Never seen Tenebrae. Bout to scope it

The final terror and humongous

Technically these are slasher movies, because they follow the same formula: The alien and predator movies, specifically Alien 1 and 3, and Predator 1 and 2. It's about someone ore something that stalks and murders their victims one by one.

Great list i can't fault you for you picks great stuff don't have nightmares!

Halloween 4 is one of my favorites but for some reason when Michael is in hospitals 🏥 creeps me out the most. I think Halloween 6 was what Halloween 4 was to you. Halloween 6 just creeped me tf out. Plus his power walk and everything.

Just subscribed. I came upon your reviews by accident. I have the Slasher Movie Book and it is a fun and easy read and gave me a bunch of new slasher movies to seek out. I love your selections, especially the giallos A Bay of Blood and Tenebrae. Check out Opera next from Argento. You will love The Prowler. I just updated to the Blu-ray of it and it so clear and well lit that I can clearly see all the great Tom Savini effects. I would include Aquarius(aka Stage Fright), the 1989 slasher The Intruder, Happy Birthday To Me, and who can resist the entertainingly awful Pieces. Speaking of Pieces, how about a review of the Top 5 So Bad They're Good Horror Movies? Pieces, the Dead Pit, Horror Hospital, and Contamination Point 7 would be the Top 4 of my list. I'll think about a fifth. Eager to catch up on all your videos. You're very easy on the eyes. Thanks man.

Great list Lee here is my list 10: Friday the 13th final chapter 9:my bloody Valentine (1981) 8: psycho 7:scream 2 6:black Christmas (1974) 5: scream 4 4: nightmare on elm Street 3: nightmare on elm Street dream warriors 2: scream 1: Halloween (78)

Great list man!

I've been wating almost 3 years for this

Awsome content bro! ^_^

I know I’ll end up in hell for this but I really love Slasher movies that everyone else seems to hate like: House of Wax, Black Christmas (2006), I know what you did last Summer, Friday the 13th. (Part 3rd, 7th and 8th), Scream 3, Jeepers Creepers, Freddy vs Jason, Sorority Row And even more. I mean, I also like many other Slasher movies (the ones the most people like.) like: Scream (1,2,4), Friday the 13th (all movies, but the 4th and 5th ones the most • apart from the ones above•), Halloween (H20 and The 2018 one are GREAT), Nightmare on elm street (all movies, but especially the: 3rd, 4th and 5th ones), Black Christmas (1974), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (only the: 5th, 6th and 7th Movies), Final destination (all movies) And many more

Badass list. Picked up the book. Thanks.

Nice list. So happy that Scream made it on.

It's cool to keep coming back to this and reading other people's top 10s

This is a pretty good top 10 slasher list. My list would be very similar with just a few change's.

Tbh your choices really surprised me (eg Bay of blood, the burning and no.4) because mine were more well known and all, but I went and researched the 3 and they really sound gruesome and entertaining-my type of movie. Just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to these new ones and hopefully I’ll get more recommendations as good as these ones from you in the future

LOVED your list, esp Valentine and Friday 4. Kay

awesome list lee . agree there are alot of these on my own list yes a bay of blood is flippin nuts with the kills . scream,s now a classic .you turned me on to tenebrae . Wow one word....Argento....a master of the craft .every kill in his movies look like a painting . he know how to use colors in his films love everyone of his movies before your review ive never seen tenebrae, so thank you so your top three are my top three ..just not in same order . but #1 is the same . lol .pieces . is another one of my fav,s i seen that when i was 6 . and stuck with up to now im 39 so lol but yeah lee great top ten man. my top three are.. 3# sleepaway camp .you feel kind of dirty after watching it .there a alot so wrong in that movie . but i love it. #2 the burning . what can you say some of the best kills in any horror film . and like you said that raft kill my god it looks like murder was really happening . but you know it fake . #1 which i think no one can argue. Halloween (1978) the movie that showed you that a great slasher doesnt need alot/no blood . and prolly the greatest horror movie of all time .

Dario Argento is one of my favorite directors. I don’t know if you ever seen The Bird With The Crystal Plumage but that one is pretty good.

Really good video👍

Slumber Party Massacre is so underrated. It’s a lot of fun.

Amazing list Lee. I probably couldn't tell you my list but I can tell you my favorite which would be the Texas Chainsaw Massacre yes I know some people do not call it a slasher movie but to me it is a slasher movie

#10. Psycho #9. Friday The 13th #8. My Bloody Valentine #7. Sleepaway Camp #6. The Burning #5. A Nightmare On Elm Street #4. Friday The 13th Part 4 The Final Chapter #3. Scream #2. Black Christmas #1 Halloween ❤

Good list! I'm up to #4 so far I hope you have the original 1978 Halloween and 1981 H2. H4 was great but mainly because of Danielle Harris and Donald Pleasence's performances. Michael was not as frightening in that one and mostly because of the inferior mask compared to the original. There's so many great ones I can recommend to you but three just off the top The Prowler as you mentioned you hadn't seen, The Intruder 1981 (amazingly creative kills), and Tourist Trap.

10. Hatchet 9. Scream 8. You're Next 7. Child's play 2 6. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 5. Nightmare on elm street 4. Friday the 13th part 6: jason lives 3. Nightmare on elm street 3: Dream warriors 2. Friday the 13th the final chapter 1. Halloween

great list, my favorite is the bay of blood! have you check out the trailer for the horror called hereditary? it looks amazing 😱
