Best Slasher Movies

Michael Myers is back and still hunting poor Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis reprises the role she did such a fantastic job playing) in Halloween II and this time, it’s bloodier. The gore and mess missing from its predecessor is out in full force and blood-lusters couldn’t be happier.

While Halloween II maybe not be as good as the first, but damned if it isn’t close. The movie picks up where the first left off. Laurie is being taken to a hospital while the police search for Michael. One need not think too hard to figure out that he’s going to show up to finish what he started with poor Laurie. We’d have a pretty boring movie if he didn’t. What happens from there is slasher movie brilliance.

This is the movie that started it all… the one and only original Halloween. It’s not a remake. It’s not a sequel but the movie that spawned this legendary series and introduced the masses to Jamie Lee Curtis.

Although Halloween was made in 1978 for only $300, 000, it’s scare factor definitely stands the test of time. There isn’t as much blood and gore when compared to today’s slasher films, but Halloween doesn’t need it. It relies on music, mood and camera work to truly scare the bejesus out of its audience. It takes its time to build characters and make them likable. You really care if Laurie Strode lives or dies. You’re rooting for her to win, even if secretly there’s a part of you that wants to see Michael win too.
