Top Ten Best Slasher Movies

Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis have the best dynamic out of all the slasher movies. Michael Myers, as a character, is simply the best written out of all of them. The Halloween series is one of the only slasher movie series to have a lot of good titles like Halloween 1, Halloween 2, Halloween 4, H20, and the reboot of Halloween 1 in 2007 was great as well.

It is one of the only slasher movies that is actually genuinely good because of the plot, which is rare to say indeed.

Halloween is considered the gold standard of the slasher genre and is one of the best horror films ever made. The film is riddled with suspense and beautiful cinematography. However, the film does suffer from many of the flaws of its successors.

So I wouldn't call this the best horror film ever made, but it could be the greatest slasher film ever made.

This great and inventive film inspired a new generation of horror fans to go back a few years and watch the slasher films that were the inspiration for this particular film. Wes Craven was one of the few true masters of horror. Great film.

Scream is a great slasher movie because it rebooted the slasher genre, and it was something new. Ghostface was a normal character who could die. The characters were likable as well.

Wes Craven really knows how to mix horror and satire. It's my 7th favorite movie of all time.

The original Nightmare and part 3 stand out as being the best of the series, but all are worth a look. There will never be another Freddy-related film to touch either.

And even though it gets rough reviews from most, I thought Freddy vs. Jason was good. Very fun. Very creative. And who wasn't sitting around for years waiting to see it?

Freddy is the best character by far. Michael and Ghostface are great too, but they don't provide the energy that Freddy does. Freddy is also hilarious and pretty funny.

Michael doesn't even talk, and Ghostface isn't as tough as Freddy.

This is one of my favorite movies. I like both parts of the remakes (2003 and 2006). The original series of the 1980s was also awesome! But the remake of the movie is much better.

This is the best slasher movie of all! The chainsaw will freak you out. Anyways, Jessica Biel rocked in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), and Jordana Brewster in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. Well, guys, watch this movie, and you will definitely like it!

That's my comment.

This is the best slasher of all time. The remake is definitely not better than the original - just more gore, less suspense, and bad acting.

Better than Halloween: better music, a more mysterious killer, and more iconic since the 3D chapter. More gore (Savini!). Don't listen to those who say Carpenter invented the slasher with Halloween - it was already done with Black Christmas and some giallos as well.

I like Halloween, but I love Friday. Oh yes, by the way, TCM is absolutely not a slasher! And if Scream gave slasher movies a second life, you can't put it at the same level as '70s-'80s classics. And to finish, Jason rules!

Worst of all the Friday films but still worth a watch.

I feel uncomfortable even clicking vote, with Chucky staring at me...

The only successful mainstream blend of two horror franchises, this film pits Freddy against Jason, and the result is an awesomely entertaining hour and a half of slasher gore.

The film puts two of the best slashers ever made together in a showdown. It's a bit silly, I agree, but at the same time, it's entertaining and exhilarating.

This was, hands down, the best slasher. The storylines of both A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th were excellent.

The original deserves to be in the top ten. The remake, not so much. Very scary slasher.

While Scream 3 is the worst Scream movie in the series, it is an underrated sequel that I have fun with. It has problems, but it is a decent sequel.

The worst in the series, but it is still an enjoyable sequel. I like the mansion chase at the end. It's just a fun movie.

Great, fun, and entertaining movie to watch.
