The Ultimate Slasher Documentary
Our journey begins with the proto-slashers that laid the template for what was to come: Hitchcock’s Psycho, Herschel Gordon Lewis’s lurid gorefests, Pete Walker’s British shockers, and the black-gloved killers of Bava and Argento’s gialli.
A love letter to the overlooked and forgotten cult classics
Nik D., early review
Arriving in the late ’70s and ’80s, the main body of the documentary explores obscure, low- and no-budget slashers, celebrating the deeper cuts that you thought no-one else remembered, as well as many you may have never seen.
Along the way, we explore the slashers that turned holidays into bloodbaths in our ‘Horrifying Holidays’ segment, venture deep into the woods with ‘Terror in the Woods,’ and explore scholastic murder in ‘Campus Carnage.’
Goes into a lot of movies that are rarely or never discussed in other horror docs
Aaron M., early review
As we travel through each of these sections, our cast of slasher legends share stories and anecdotes from their own work, as well as providing insights into the works that inspire them.
Don't Miss...
Across the 4+ hours, there's a lot of good bits! If we had to choose, some of our favourites include:
- My Bloody Valentine Director George Mihalka reveals how the mine they filmed in inspired many of the movie’s most memorable kills.
- Screenwriter David McGillivray shares how a real life cannibalism case inspired his screenplay for Frightmare.
- The Dorm That Dropped Blood… was this the cruelest slasher ever made? Grady Hendrix (Author: The Final Girl Support Group) makes his case!
You may think you have heard of every slasher. You are wrong
Randall B., early review
- David Howard Thornton (Art the Clown, Terrifier) and Daniel John Kearney (Director: The Itinerant) share their appreciation for Sleepaway Camp.
- Paul Lynch (Director: Prom Night) describes how the “schmuck” director of Terror Train stole Jamie Lee Curtis despite promising not to.
- She was how old? Slaughter High actor Caroline Munro discusses playing perhaps the oldest high schooler in existence!
