Your Favorite Slasher

[AcesandEights]

If you choose him, wouldn't you have to choose basically the whole cast? The whole cast were slashers of prices?

[bassman]

The whole cast were slashers of prices? Well...no. But you know what I mean...

[AcesandEights]

Well...no. But you know what I mean... Yarp!

I had to pick Voorhees... just because, y'know? Machete, man... One thing I noticed on my recent marathons is that even though the machete is his FAVORED weapon, he's actually quite versatile, employing a variety of weapons & techniques. That + pure straight out brutality+tactics such as strategically placing the bodies for maximum shock value is the reason he got my vote. The rest I love in varying degrees. If I had more time I could spell out what I'm a big fan of with each in turn.

I voted Leatherface, but if we include the small screen slashers. . . I'm going with this guy.

I voted Leatherface, but if we include the small screen slashers. . . I'm going with this guy. Yeah, I would say you could definitely count him. I got to thinking later, I had a couple of slots left, I probably should have put Hanibal Lecter in there, but eh, that's what the "other" was for. Anyone I forgot, or were "C" list enough to not really warrant their own listing. I've been meaning to track down "Hatchet" & "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon". I've heard that even though these are newer movies that if you're a fan of the old school genre that you will like them, so that's partially who I had in mind, plus if anyone's favorite was REALLY the killers from movies like "Sleepaway Camp", "Slumber Party Massacre" or even obscure ones like "The Nail Gun Massacre:

Dexter is a great choice, but he never asked anyone the following question: "Do you like Huey Lewis & The News?" So therefore, he's disqualified.

GIF FIGHT!!!!!!!!

[Mitchified]

I'm going with Dexter. I takes a real man to kill John Lithgow AND Jimmy Smits while making it with Julie Benz, Jamie Murray, and now possibly Julia Stiles.

It starts out soooo 80s camp, then hits you like a punch in the gonads without warning. Def worth a watch.

Behind the Mask is just awesome. It starts out soooo 80s camp, then hits you like a punch in the gonads without warning. Def worth a watch. Thanks! I was wondering if any of my bretheren here had seen it. I love the premise & I've heard about the references, so that's +2 right off the bat. It's def-o on my list to get.

I will have to go with Dr. Jacob A. Freudstein from House by the Cemetery. Or the killer in Stage Fright.

Nice FF! Way to think outside the box.
