I think that credit goes to Bava and Carpenter.

Which Argento film are you refering to?

Because I'd give the honor to Bob Clark for Black Christmas over JC for Halloween. (Black Christmas came out a full 4 years ahead of Halloween but incorporated much of the same camera techniques that Halloween gets credit for. It is also, as far as I've seen, the first slasher film that was done in manner that resembles what we still see today.) Although, LHotL was a few years ahead of it, I wouldnt exactly think of that as a slasher film. (I certainly do credit Craven for having some balls back then though.)

Sorry, I meant Bob Clark and JC for Black Christmas and Halloween. I definately give Craven credit for having the guts to make a film like that at the time but he gets none for creating the slasher genre. Like I said that goes to Clark and Carpenter, at least imo.

p.s.
I often get Black Christmas and Sunday mixed up which is why I said Bava rather than Clark.

Ahhh. Im sure you're not the only whos done that.
