Slasher Horror Movie Poll!

I'll take any logic that gets us to Psycho 2!

Future Boy

So here’s the deal: if CHILD’S PLAY wins, then add PSYCHO II as well, because PSYCHO II writer, Tom Holland, directed CHILD’S PLAY. You’ll have a double bill 😊

Robert Boyd

Two old school, not exactly a slasher, more like crazy unnerving serial killer films you should check out are Night Of The Hunter (1955) and The Bad Seed (1956)

Neal Romanek

It's much more a surreal supernatural horror than a slasher.

Neal Romanek

Seconding [REC] - it's fantastic

Pixie

My dad rented it and I watched it with him when I was a kid (there were few restrictions on what I could watch) and it was super creepy. Then I watched again as an adult and it was still great but I also noticed the political themes which was really cool.

Jeffrey Miller

I hope there is no issues this time with copyright. I love the Scream franchise.

Marcio T

Yes yes yes and yes again and of course a further yes

Andrew

Jesus, "Martyrs"? Not gonna lie, a reaction would be interesting to watch :-D but I know people who've been destroyed by that one. I mean' it's GREAT for what it is but - phew. It's hardcore! Don't damage Daniel and Sam!! However: "Mark of the Devil"? Really? I mean that's an odd choice. That's more suited for nerdy gore-hounds I think. (no offense, I am one myself :)

I'm a big Hellraiser fan but I think it never really flourished as far as the movies go. The first one is very rough and low budget, the second one has a few great scenes and designs but I feel the vision was too big for the budget and the filmmakers capabilites. The third one is painful (I do NOT understand why people like it so much, from the original four it's the least "hellraiser"). It's silly campy trash. I prefer even the fourth one, especially everything that takes place in historical France. And after "Bloodline"? ... omg kill me! Clive Barkers work has so much potential but the movies never even came close. Wasn't HBO thinking about a Hellraiser series or something like that? That would be so awesome...

Florian, congratulations. Sam did that on purpose, checking for the real fans. i think you get a prize. someone told me it was a ps5. 🙂

YoureMrLebowski

I’m right there with you! I thought his Halloween 2 (directors cut) was pretty amazing.

Nick of Time

I'd like to see you two react to some of the Friday the 13th sequels since those are when Jason comes into play.

Joshua Nelson

Don't forget High Tension(2003)

mikethemotormouth

I recommend the Wes Craven film "The People Under the Stairs". Probably his most underrated horror film.

EdmanXERO

Working on this! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Sure! Thanks for all the suggestions! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Whoops 🤦🏻‍♀️ -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Oh no way! Welp, we won’t be watching that one. Thanks, Florian! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Please finish the Scream franchise too!

Odd Thomas

I'm probably in the minority but I loved the Rob Zombie Halloween films

Odd Thomas

I was hoping Psycho 2 would just appear on your schedule at some point, because it doesn't have the familiarity to win in polls like this. But it's great, I know you would love it, and I really hope you still choose to watch it! Easily my favourite horror sequel ever.

Future Boy

Many of the Hellraiser movies are classics! Fun to watch and likely great to react to :)

Robin Cederholm

There is a small Mistake in this Poll, "Stranger in the House" from 1974 is Another Title for "Black Christmas" ... And you watched Black Christmas already on the channel

Florian Meier

I must say, all of these horror movies are good and are classics. But “Child’s Play” stood out the most because it was menacingly creepy. Same thing with “Tales From The Hood” that also have the dolls story creeped me out even more!

Ken Veader

FYI Stranger in the House (1974) is better known as Black Christmas.

Ian Cano

Psycho 2 might be Anthony Perkins( Norman Bates) best performance. won't win a pole but just an awesome film

Ken Veader

Thanks, Logan! 🤗🚀

Cody Downs

Other movies you can watch for spooky season is You're Next, and continue the Halloween movies old or new sequels

Brandon N.

Oooh, I'm with you on wanting a reaction for The Rockateer! I loved that movie as a boy. I haven't watched it for many years and would like a reason to.

Logan Kerlee

Hellraiser and Child's Play are both great, though voted Hellraiser as there's some visual references that pop up in the likely winner of horror comedy. ;)

Pixie

Hellraiser is a must see. That film broke new ground.

James Willingham III

LOL he really does hate dolls! It's running away with the win so far, so we'll see how that plays out! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Sam, I'm not one to exploit people's fears, but knowing that TBR is not a fan of dolls - I have to dissent & cast my full vote of confidence in CHILD'S PLAY. It was the first horror film I ever saw as an adolescent & yet while it terrified me then, it's subsequent sequels are so progressive in social issues. Finally, I cannot tell you how elated I was you covered OSCAR many weeks ago. It is a unfairly maligned comedy that harkens back to farce of the 1930s. And, yes: director John Landis was the writer/producer on 1985's CLUE. I wish you both well & thanks for hearing me out. P.S. still pulling for 1991's THE ROCKETEER on a future Adventure poll as a winner and 1989's THE KILLER & 1990's NIKITA as winners on a future INTERNATIONAL film poll. Cheers! 🥃

Cody Downs

Allowing for the fact DRESSED TO KILL isn’t so much a slasher movie as a thriller, the best movies up there are PSYCHO II and CHILD’S PLAY, so I voted for those along with SLEEPAWAY CAMP, which is a must-see, even if it’s only once. Another really good slasher movie not in the poll is SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, which is both a traditional slasher and a smart parody of them. SLEEPAWAY CAMP has some of those elements too, actually.
