Mine in no particular order:
Blood Rage (1987)
Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Pieces (1982)
Nightmare (1981)
The Burning (1981)
Scream
Scream 2
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Halloween
Final Destination (I know, technically not a slasher, but I find it difficult to choose number 5)
I'm not sure if all of these technically count as slasher films, but here goes:
(they all include "slasher" in the keywords on imdb though)
Psycho (1960)
The Shining (1980)
The Thing (1982)
Se7en (1995)
American Psycho (2000)
Honourable mentions: Natural Born Killers (1994), Theater of Blood (1973), The Slumber Party Massacre (1982), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Most of those with the exception of ANOES, Slumber Party and Sleepaway Camp definitely aren't slashers, I'm afraid.

Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)
Halloween 6 (1995)
Scream (1996)
Friday the 13th Part III 3D (1982)
I know H6 is an odd choice, but it captures the essence of 'slasher' more than any other Halloween movie IMO.
In no particular order:
Just Before Dawn (81)
That final kill is one for the ages!
Friday the 13th Part II (82)
Amy Steel is right up there with Curtis a the best Final Girl ever
Halloween (78)
A masterpiece, still eerie and frightening 3 decades later
Sleepaway Camp (83)
The twist ending, WTH?!?
The Burning (81)
Quintessential slasher movie, every part worked
Shogun, I almost put Just Before Dawn on my list in place of Nightmare. It’s so cool that the camp director from Sleepaway Camp is in it too. My kids are teenagers now and they are still scared of that whistle.
share'Dawn is a slasher classic
I'm waiting for my son to be of age to watch them all with me
Great thread👍
Amy Steel!
Great choice, and my favorite final girl.
I seem to be a minority with Blood Rage on my list. Has anyone else in this discussion seen it before?
shareThere is one called Curtains that I have yet to see but I have watched the ice skating scene before and it looks quite creepy. Has anyone seen it before?
sharei watched it fairly recently, and i've really forgotten it already. the only thing that i really recall is not liking it much.
this is what i wrote on letterboxd:
docked a star for using burton cummings on the soundtrack without any apparent irony.share
i know this was a cheap canadian production, but there's just no excusing that.
it's pretty dull stuff. boring kills, boring characters, though that mask is reasonably creepy.
