About me: Retro Slashers is the ultimate online resource for fans of horror's most bloody and sadistic subgenre. For the last thirty years these slice 'n' dice video nasties have been a favourite among gore hungry teens the world over, with Halloween, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street among the most popular horror franchises of all time, resulting in the likes of Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger becoming recognisible faces of modern pop culture.
Loved by horror fans yet loathed by critics, the slasher film for a brief time became box office gold in the early 1980's, with both independent producers and major studios hoping to cash in on the growing trend. Despite their low budgets and graphic violence, the slasher genre would give such heavyweight Hollywood stars as Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon their first break in the industry.
The slasher movie would not only change the face of horror but also cinema itself, proving that enthuasiastic filmmakers with a limited budget and a little imagination could achieve mainstream success. They would also be responsible for the birth of the franchise, with the Friday the 13th series alone releasing no less than eight movies throughout the decade. Whilst sequels were nothing new, the slasher movie proved that a simple horror concept could be reworked countless times with nothing more than a few likable teens and a lot of blood.
