These films are often criticized for being too formulaic and predictable.

There's a grain of truth to every rumor.

But sometimes they surprise us.

Which slasher series or stand-alone film strikes you as most original or unpredictable?

For me, Nightmare on Elm Street films went in a lot of interesting directions, as did some of the early Hellraiser sequels.

Maniac is also a good period piece.

Maniac dude.
