Slashers — that gloriously grubby, stabby subsection of horror — were first unsheathed in the early 1970s, 🌝 when Mario Bava stalked his cavorting, frequently disrobed victims around in A Bay of Blood. The movie set up mood 🌝 of the slasher: Sexually charged, with a degree of mystery, where the ample cast of characters one-by-one take a sharp 🌝 turn into doom. Slashers can be stylish (Opera, Dressed to Kill), carnal (Torso, Friday the 13th), grimly violent (The Prowler, 🌝 The Burning), trashy (Pieces, The Slumber Party Massacre) and even supernatural (Halloween, Child’s Play). We’re studying all sides of the 🌝 blade as we assemble movies that best represent this killer genre in the 25 Essential Slasher Movies. —Alex Vo

#13 Child's 🌝 Play (1988) 74% #13 Adjusted Score: 78331% Critics Consensus: Child's Play occasionally stumbles across its tonal tightrope of comedy and 🌝 horror, but its genuinely creepy monster and some deft direction by Tom Holland makes this chiller stand out on the 🌝 shelf.
