HALFWAY TO HALLOWEEN: SLASHERS FOR THE SUMMER

High school girls basketball team sleepover, with pizza and drinks. What could go wrong! 

​

Only a crazy man with a power drill! 

​

Don't underestimate the female directed horror films of the 1980s, the messages are all there. 

Definitely do not watch with children, unless you plan on expecting the most questionable and chaotic Halloween of your life. 

​

An absolute fountain of gore — the treasure practical effects.

 

Don't forget the salt! 

Arguably the most prepared final girl in history. A great story, kills, and characters.

 

Overall, just an extremely fun watch for any occasion.

A classic tale of high schoolers now reaping the consequences of their actions years later.

 

However, this film does have a wicked dance number from Jamie Lee Curtis.

What's better than a horror film about a summer camp full of sudden and bizarre acts of violence? Perhaps that the sequels, Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988) and Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland (1989) star Pamela Springsteen, sister to Bruce Springsteen. 

 

Except campers "Dancing in the Dark" only leads to brutal murder. A cult classic with crazy twists!  

Undoubtedly the summer version of John Carpenter's Halloween (1978).

​

Always a fun watch, check out its sequels too!

 

I promise Jason grows up. 

A group of teenagers accidentally kill someone. They "incorrectly" dispose of the body and are now being followed by a guys with a hook for a hand.

 

Although the go-to 90s slasher would probably be Wes Craven's Scream (1996). This film has a great cast of early stars.

 

Think of it like Scooby-Doo, except the Mystery Machine violently killed someone and they're definitely not getting away with it.
