I am extremely lenient with horror movies tbh for me to outright dislike one it essentially has to either bore me or feature unnecessary gratuitous rape/threats of rape--or be a bad remake.

hi hi i havent watched. super many horror movies mostly just slasher classics do you have any.. recs where to go from there :0

jesus this is a big ask

okay so im assuming when you say slasher classics, you mean og texas chainsaw massacre, halloween, nightmare on elm street, friday the 13th, MAYBE scream too. these are all excellent starters.

if you want to broaden your slasher know how/explore some of the more iconic early horrors, i'd recommend the og black christmas, hellraiser, child's play, obviously some of the main franchise sequels (tcm2 and noes2 are both some of the better sequels out there). if you wanna go more niche, phantasma, puppet master, og prom night and terror train are pretty solid classics too. if you don't mind especially grody gore, the burning, motel hell and slumber party massacre are really good.

in terms of more modern slashers, behind the mask: rise of leslie vernon is SO soooo good. house of wax is a fun romp, and some of the og remakes are fun (in the gory way). friday the 13th and leatherface are especially interesting. all the scream sequels slap and the movies it inspired (i know what you did last summer and urban legend) are both decent watches

alsooooo since im invested in the jccu (jeffrey combs cinematic universe) you should watch reanimator, bride of reanimator and from beyond if you wanna experience some WILD practical effects and body horror...also so i can talk about reanimator with more people 👉👈

#kinda long post #but i could talk about horror movies all day soooo thanks for this ask lmao #qs #i also like grody horror movies so if you're down for torture...lemme know ill make another post 😉

Hey Tena! I really love your blog, esp the horror movies post! :) I'm starting to get really into slasher movies and I was wondering if you maybe had some suggestions for me ! I've seen all the Screams and Friday the 13th so far and was looking for more ideas! Thank you! (:

I’ve always got horror suggestions!

Let’s start with a few proto-slashers (i.e., those films that helped mold the formula for the modern slasher. They may not be as gory, but they’re important to what the slasher film would eventually become):

M (1931) - Fritz Lang

Peeping Tom (1960) - Michael Powell

Psycho (1960) - Alfred Hitchcock

A Bay of Blood (aka Twitch of the Death Nerve) (1971) - Mario Bava (I could have placed this in the next category, but the influence of this film in particular on the Friday the 13th franchise is quite noticeable)

Torso (1973) - Sergio Martino

Axe (1974) - Frederick R. Friedel

Black Christmas (1974) - Bob Clark

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - Tobe Hooper

The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976) - Charles B. Pierce

Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) - Alfred Sole

Massacre at Central High (1976) - Renee Daalder

The Hills Have Eyes (1977) - Wes Craven

Giallo films (personally recommended in order to best understand the genesis of the slasher subgenre):

Blood and Black Lace (1964) - Mario Bava

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970)- Dario Argento

Five Dolls for an August Moon (1970) - Mario Bava

A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin (1971) - Lucio Fulci

Short Night of Glass Dolls (1971) - Aldo Lado

The Cat O’ Nine Tails (1971) - Dario Argento

Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971) (Dario Argento)

Don’t Torture a Duckling (1972) - Lucio Fulci

The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972) - Emilio Miraglia

What Have You Done to Solange? (1972) - Massimo Dallamano

Seven Deaths in the Cat’s Eye (1973) - Antonio Margheriti

Eyeball (1975) - Umberto Lenzi

Deep Red (1975) - Dario Argento

The House with Laughing Windows (1976) - Pupi Avati

Tenebrae (1982) - Dario Argento

Delirium: Photo of Gioia (1987) - Lamberto Bava

Stage Fright (1987) - Michele Soavi

Basic list of slasher films (as in, the most commonly-cited examples of the subgenre):

Halloween (1978) - John Carpenter

Terror Train (1980) - Roger Spottiswoode

Prom Night (1980) - Paul Lynch

Maniac (1981) - William Lustig

My Bloody Valentine (1981) - George Mihalka

The Burning (1981) - Tony Maylam

Celebrities Who Got Their Start In Horror Films

A rather remarkable number of stars began their film career or got their big break in horror films.

Big stars don't usually tread into the waters of the horror genre, either due to personal reasons or to the fact that horror films don't typically yield Oscar nominations. Still, one has to start one's career somewhere. It's quite fun to watch a horror film only to notice a younger version of a huge celebrity, and this happens more often than one would think.

Jennifer Aniston

America's sweetheart wasn't always so sweet. If you were to dig past Bruce Almighty, Office Space, and Friends you would eventually hit Leprechaun. Yes, a film about a little green man on a murderous quest for gold. Overall a very terrible film that spawned terrible sequels... several actually. The leprechaun has been to the country, the ghetto and outer space. Luckily, Aniston didn't follow and went on to have a strong career.

Johnny Depp

Captain Jack Sparrow wasn't always breaking hearts and taking names... okay, maybe he was but he wasn't always getting huge gigs. Before sword fighting through the Caribbean, before traipsing around Sleepy Hollow as Ichabod Crane and even before being a Cry-Baby, Depp was busy being a teen heartthrob as the boy next door in A Nightmare On Elm Street.

More interesting still is that Depp made a cameo later in the franchise in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, the sixth film in the series. Depp doesn't have any shame about his horror start and has no reason to, he's Johnny Depp for crying out loud.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Critters 3 to Romeo and Juliet is a bit of a leap to say the least. Before becoming a passenger on the Titanic or being Johnny Depp's brother in What's Eating Gilbert Grape? DiCaprio got his start with the third installment in the Critters franchise. How Critters made it to a third sequel, let alone a fourth sequel is beyond me. Pretty much the only actor in any Critters film to have a career, DiCaprio is one of the best in the business, despite his furry and other worldly little blemish.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Everyone should know that Curtis was, in fact, the scream queen of her time. Daughter of Janet Leigh, actress in the famous Psycho shower scene, Curtis acted in Terror Train, Prom Night, The Fog and of course Halloween. With style, grace and class Curtis took her roles in horror seriously.

That's not to say that the others on this list didn't, it's just that Curtis did it better than anyone. It's doubtful Curtis will return to horror after being killed off in Halloween: Resurrection but if she did make a comeback to the genre, I'd be the first in line.

Kirsten Dunst

Before Bring it On and Spider-man Dunst had an Interview With The Vampire. The blond bombshell nailed her role and helped bring an already good film to a higher standard. Although her career has slowed down a bit, we haven't seen the last of Dunst. Guaranteed.

Kevin Bacon

No one uses Friday the 13th when they play 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. Bacon does an excellent job in his small role and gets probably one of the best kills in Friday the 13th history. Bacon is no stranger to the horror genre. He has been in films like Stir of Echos, Tremors and Hollow Man. If Kevin Bacon can make dancing in Footloose look fun, he can handle horror films.

Corey Haim and Corey Feldmen

The eighties are long since over and it's still impossible to talk about Haim without mentioning Feldman and vice-versa. The late Haim pushed his career off with a Stephen King inspired movie called Silver Bullet where he got to act along the always entertaining Gary Busy.

Feldmen got his start with Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter, one of the best installments in the franchise. Then, both Haim and Feldmen appeared in the 80s cult classic The Lost Boys. Each one of those films is still fun to dust off every once in awhile, a true testament to the likability of the two young actors.

John Travolta

If, for some twisted reason, you always wanted to see Travolta get into a car accident, Carrie is the film for you. In a bit role, Travolta manages to grab you attention. But even before Carrie, Travolta had The Devil's Rain - a weird, offbeat William Shatner film. Honestly, stick to Grease and Pulp Fiction.

This list could go on and on, but you get the idea. Celebrities have been getting their start in horror forever and for good reason. It's east to see an actors depth and believability when their being possessed or being chased a werewolf. Nothing tests acting better than ghosts, monsters and boogeymen. The next time you watch an obscure horror movie or even a mainstream one for that matter, keep a lookout for the big name actors.
