The mask, the knife, and the procedurals that hunt them.
De Palma, King, and the prom
the template the entire slasher decade ran on
critically dismissed, and the third pillar of the slasher decade
the slasher given an idea
Mann's Hannibal, cold and blue
Chucky enters the culture
the only horror film to win Best Picture
the template for two decades of thrillers
horror that explains itself while doing it
Kurosawa Kiyoshi's dread machine
Paxton's directing debut, genuinely unsettling
obsession, procedure, dread
Fincher's coldest
the prequel, and Goth's monologue
Ti West's slasher, and *Pearl*'s other half
