    • Psycho (1960) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles. Horror, Mystery, Thriller (1h 49m) 8.5 on IMDb — 96% on RT. Psycho is by far the least gruesome slasher movie on this list.

    • Black Christmas. John Carpenter's "Halloween" gets all the credit for its mood-setting atmosphere, spine-tingling score, and mouth-breathing maniac. However, "Black Christmas" had all of that and more four years before the Shape stalked Laurie Strode.
    • Halloween. What is possibly left to analyze about John Carpenter's "Halloween"? Films like "Black Christmas" and "Alice Sweet Alice" pre-date the Carpenter classic, yet it was "Halloween" that made slashers cool for mainstream audiences.
    • Psycho. No one saw it coming. Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" was so terrifying that even taking showers sent shivers down the backbone of moviegoers who sat through it.
    • A Nightmare on Elm Street. There are few things as terrifying as a clawed, fedora-wearing sleep demon. Despite the slasher craze quieting down, 1984's "A Nightmare on Elm Street" brought new vitality to the genre.
