I can't even make a list because there are so few good ones within that time period. I'll try my best...
Scream
Halloween (2018)
I think all the rest are legitimately bad movies or I haven't seen them.

Scream (1996) Jason X (2002) My Bloody Valentine (2009) Scream 4 (2011) The Cabin in the Woods (2012) I sometimes have a difficult time with what defines a slasher movie. The reason I bring it up is because I don't think of The Cabin in the Woods as a slasher movie.

Lol, oh? Sorry. I was going to say "The Hills Have Eyes" remake, but didn't know if that would qualify as a 'slasher' film. Lol I don't really think slasher films exist today. Definitive ones like from the Golden Age of the late '70s and early '80s. Any real good ones at least. Now it's just 'thrillers' and 'horrors', and very few of those are even good these days. When a great one comes out, watch out lol. Ones made for an adult audience. I don't even know what exact audience the remake of "It" was aiming for, ha. I think there are many good thrillers still being made and there are still a handful of good horror movies being made as well, especially in the last 5 years or so. I am a fan of The Hills Have Eyes remake btw, but I too am not sure if that counts as a slasher movie. I hate Rob Zombie's Halloween remake (it is an abomination imo), so I just had to make a comment. IT (2017) I believe is trying to appeal to a very broad audience and I think it mostly succeeds. Most people remember what it was like to be a kid and I think the movie is able to find a wide audience because of that.

Most people remember what it was like to be a kid and I think the movie is able to find a wide audience because of that. I agree with thrillers and horrors being made. The plots are getting back to being original and not resorting to a remake or reused formula. "Scream", "Saw" and "28 Days Later" alone went on to start trends of so many movies trying to repeat the same success those movies first had. Even "The Conjuring" is now starting a trend of spin-off movies, etc. My opinion.
Fair enough with "Halloween", lol I'm not here to defend the movie. It's flawed, no doubt.
As for "It", I like it, but then it was hard for me to watch beginning to end. I never had a fear of clowns, but well, actor Bill Skarsgård made it his own. Actress Sophia Lillis for me carried that movie and I rated it so much higher for her. The rest of the kids felt too forced for me at times. And I don't know if it was me but this movie was loaded with jump scares. Predictable jump scares. And scenes of the kids running in fear then nothing at all happens to them. Lol, I hate these clichés. I hope I wasn't as dumb as these kids when I was young, ha. I gave the movie a 5.5/10.

7/10 (my lowest rating for a movie I like) I usually dislike jump scares, but for some reason I find them mostly effective here. It is done more effectively here than James Wan movies for example. Wan relies heavily on jump scares to scare the audience and while IT does have jump scares it also has a lot of scary parts that don't rely on them. I like the movie largely because of the atmosphere, the chemistry between the kids (I enjoy all of their performances, but Lillis is the best) and the theme of childhood fear. It is one of the more creepy recent horror movies, but it isn't constant brooding darkness like most modern horror movies. Funny enough Halloween (2007) is a good example of what I mean by that. I am a sucker for movies that are set in the 1980's too. IT has a unique personality and charm imo. I do have a fear of clowns and coincidentally I think it all stems from the 1990 version of IT. It is definitely flawed and I wish it was done better though. I won't defend it too much if someone dislikes it, because I do understand the complaints.

The reason I bring it up is because I don't think of The Cabin in the Woods as a slasher movie. I have the same problem and now that I think about it, I think you might be right about The Cabin in the Woods not being a slasher.

7/10 (my lowest rating for a movie I like) I do have a fear of clowns and coincidentally I think it all stems from the 1990 version of IT. Anything 5 or over I like, some greatly and others minimal. Anything 5 or under I'll watch either disliking a lot of it or I never want to see it again.
Did you ever see this photo below, or read up on the story behind it? A man showed up to watch a screening of "It" and found a clown already in the room. I believe the room wasn't entirely empty but it mostly was. The man who took the photo even made an attempt to talk to the clown and got a casual response. He said during the entire film the clown kept moving from one set of seats to another in different parts of the room. I believe he posted the photo online immediately. Hours later no one heard from their friend when he finally sent out the quote response, "We all float down here, too". I thought it was a creepy story and the clown looks awesome to me, lol.

No, I hadn't heard of that story. I wouldn't have been able to stay in the cinema with that clown in the room.
