Halloween (1978) likely piqued my interest in the fuzzy 'slasher' film genre -- if anyone categorizes it, or Psycho (1960), as a 'slasher', they are more than that -- and Horror aficionados quickly discovered, that besides a few exceptions, most of the 'slasher films' that came out after that were going to be repetitive boring setup scenes to flash repetitive jump scares, nudity, kills or gore, and plenty featuring a lot of crudeness. Would you say that was a fairly accurate description of what you consider slasher films? I mean, maybe you didn't find most of the setup scenes boring, or maybe you did, I don't know. I'm curious how you would describe them. Thanks!

How I would describe slasher movies? I guess pretty much using the terms that you used. Jump scares, nudity, kills (usually with a knife or bladed weapon), and crude humor. Also usually with teens or young adults.
I thought about the type of movies and TV shows I was watching a while ago and I realized that there is usually death in all of them. I checked out Dateline a few times because of that joke by Kate McKinnon and every episode seemed to be about some kind of murder or missing person. Even shows on that women's network are like that. So I guess whether it's a slasher or other type of movie or show you are bound to see death in a good number of them.
