Even if the movie itself might not be very good...

He Knows You're Alone had the slasher going after brides- to- be rather than the traditional randy teenagers which was a nice change of pace.

Sleepaway camp comes to mind

Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street

I don't think that's a slasher movie tho. 

Who got slashed? Shouldn't there be some, you know, slashing in a slasher movie? Also is trying to avoid dying because of a premonition considered a past wronging? I don't think so. There are NONE of the characteristics of a slasher other than teens. 

I would call that series a paranormal movie since the villain is fate or some such silliness.  

Those are interesting points. I'm still not convinced the series is a slasher but I can see why you consider the series slasher. 

File this under for some movie not so great or the plot not particularly interesting but the movie poster is awesome.

Interesting discussion fellas and I suppose it's down to ones own interpretation in the end.

For my money, I don't consider the Final Destination movies as slashers. I think once you have a supernatural element of any kind and not just a human killer at large, you're into another territory.

However, the Final Destination series do very much have a Slasher Film mentality and some of the kills may also fit the sub-genres profile so I could see why anyone may class them as such.

Again - and I've always felt very alone on this one - I also don't class the Elm Street or Child's Play/Chucky films as Slasher films - certainly not out-and-out.
I know they get included in books, documentaries, lists and all manner of discussions as Slasher movies so I would never try and convince anyone otherwise but for me, they are Supernatural Horror films - again -with a very Slasher mentality.

I once had someone try to tell me that despite no knife kills, The Terminator was as much a Slasher Film as Halloween - which I'll never accept. I maintained that even if all Arnie's kills were via sharp implements rather than firearms, it would still not be a Slasher film. It's a cyborg doing the killing and it has got there by time-travel......not even a Horror Film but Sci-Fi pure and simple. Likewise, Final Destination, Elm St and Child's Play are all propelled by other-worldly forces beyond convention and science.

Of course it gets confusing after Friday 13th Jason Lives where we have a killer now inexplicably undead and even Halloween II (1981) where the supernatural is strongly suggested and Myers is clearly shown as largely bullet resistant and in cases like these - where the filmmakers painted themselves into a corner storywise and had to defy conventions to enable the killer to keep coming - my theory then doesn't hold water!
What I would say about those movies however, is that their respective stories and characters did start out as conventional slashers in a non-supernatural environment but morphed into all manner of ridiculous (supernatural) extensions as story mileage quickly ran out and the sequels quickly ran on.
Freddy, Chucky, etc. were supernatural from day one.


Ultimately however, I think once you step beyond the simple concept of a human maniac stalking and killing, it becomes murky and if you include Freddy, Chucky etc. as Slashers, then you probably might also have to accept a case being made for The Terminator and who knows what else beyond?
