Even though, growing up, I dressed up as Dracula, and loved the vintage classics, it was the Slashers that have always represented Halloween for me.
Why?
Because I grew up watching all of the classic movies, but I didn't watch any of the "Slashers" until I was much, much older - What the Slashers represented for me was this Unknown horror - I hadn't seen the movie but I had HEARD that they were just absolutely horrifying... So the Slashers personified this concept of ambiguous, unheard of, unimaginable horror.
