I wouldnt go so far as to say that I hate slashers perse, but Im not really much of a fan. Sure, many of them are somewhat entertaining, but that can only last for so long. Im not a Friday the 13th fan in the leat, Ive seen the first 2 and I dont really plan on watching the rest...the first one was stupid, and the second was worse. Though I cant say it was a bad film, Halloween is very overrated in my opinion. So what if it was what made the genre popular/one of the first? Sure, it had some creepy moments, such as the bedroom scene, and Loomis was a great character, but otherwise it was just your typical slasher flick that's been cloned 50 million times. Though many will say it's not a slasher, I did really like the first Nightmare on Elm Street. I havent bothered with the sequels yet, but the first one had such an original, scary plot plus it introduced one of the all-time great horror icons while he was still in his glory...I loved it.
