Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The '80s are best known for neon colors, MTV, and some of the best slasher movies in the horror genre. As expected with any classic horror film, slashers are full of thrills and suspense but usually include more gore and a handful of characters being killed by the film's antagonists. Some of the more recognizable slasher villains from this decade include Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, and Chucky.

14 The Prowler A Formulaic Slasher Film With Exceptional Special Effects The Prowler isn't the most daring slasher, but a few aspects of the film make it a standout among others from the decade. Many of the violent scenes in The Prowler, which are a critical highlight, were cut from the film's release in Europe and Australia, in addition to the film's menacing score being replaced with sounds of nature.

11 Stage Fright A Visually Stunning Slasher Movie From Italian director Michael Soavi, Stage Fright is a thrilling slasher movie providing countless kills and inspiring visuals. Stage Fright follows a group of stage actors who are locked in a theater with a killer on the loose. Though the characters of Stage Fright, as well as the film's script, are largely weak, the striking direction by Soavi is a rarity even within universally praised slasher films.

8 The Slumber Party Massacre A Mix Of Humor And Horror Intended to be a parody of the slasher genre, The Slumber Party Massacre has earned itself a cult following over the years. The Slumber Party Massacre doesn't particularly stand out from other slasher movies of the decade, but its unique sense of humor pairs neatly with the film's bloody visuals, even when the humor is not always intentional.

5 The Burning A Violent Comparison To Friday The 13th Due to an unfortunate release date that followed the successful Friday the 13th, The Burning earned endless comparisons, discrediting the film in the process. In all fairness, The Burning does have similar aspects to Friday the 13th, including taking place at a summer camp.
