A-Z Complete Guide to 1980s Slasher Movies: 1984
Yes, I know it has been an incredibly long time nce I did one of these, but now, I hope to publish them more often than I did in hopes for redemption. Anyway, by 1984, the slasher was taking its dying breaths as it slowly sank into oblivion. As a stated before, there were no original ideas anymore, and who wanted to pay to see something that was almost identical to something they saw last week? Well, I would, but most people did not. While some good ones did come out during this time period, even they couldn't save 1984 from being one of the worst years for the slasher film in the 1980s.
