Yep, read it over at B-D...and thought it would be a great topic for a thread.

Anyone who has seen a no-brainer slasher from the 80s would agree with me when I say that the principal downslide for the slasher phenomenon was THE MOTIVE.

And to think they were the next big thing when they bloomed into the late 70s, with so many bullseye hits and giallos galore.

I mean...MurderDoll adores Sleepaway Camp still. While not the greatest slasher conceived, the motive at the end was sorta thin, doncha think?
