slasher flicks
Bloody horror movies
Slasher flicks are horror films featuring a killer who stalks and murders victims, typically teenagers, in graphic and violent ways.
The genre established conventions in the 1970s and 80s—a masked or disfigured villain, creative kills, and a final girl who survives: We stayed up watching slasher flicks all night.
