Agreed.

I've already said my piece as most have, move this "slasher" topic to its own thread if everyone wants it to continue, it doesn't really belong here.

Just because you insist on it doesn't mean it's true. Did Friday the 13th influence other films? Of course. Is Friday the 13th a slasher? Of course. Was Friday influenced by Halloween? Of course. ...

I agree, but it's not uncommon to see someone argue it not being a slasher. The others listed are pretty much universally agreed on in terms of their "slasherhood"

Friday the 13th - 1980

Bay of Blood - 1971
Black Christmas - 1974
The Town that Dreaded Sundown - 1976
Schizo - 1976
Halloween - 1978
Tourist Trap - 1979

All of those are slashers and...

Yeah that shatters your own argument...Black Christmas, Bay of Blood, and The Town That Dreaded Sundown all came out before Halloween and all of them are slashers that F13 rips off...so saying that...

Wow. :outtahere:

I'd love to hear this explanation. Maybe next you can tell us how Godzilla isn't a Kaiju film and the Exorcist isn't a supernatural/possession film.
