	Final Girls and Terrible Youth: Transgression in 1980s Slasher Horror Journal of Popular Film and Television - Find ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Slashers, those horror movies that consist of a monster or maniac stalking and/or killing a succession of people, usually teenagers, are considered even less deserving of study.
		These slasher films, although "beyond the purview of the respectable (middle-aged, middleclass) audience" (Clover 21), have importance as cultural texts, both because of their immense and enduring popularity with adolescents, and because of their firmly entrenched status as "outsider" cinema, apart from more accepted forms of film and their more acceptable mainstream messages.
		Female viewership of slashers is therefore considered problematic: Isabel Cristina Pinedo, in her discussion of female horror film viewing, details how for "the female viewer accused of masochism or the female fan labeled an apologist for a womanhating genre, there is no room for pleasure" (69).

	Slasher film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The slasher film is a sub-genre of horror film typically involving a masked, psychotic killer who stalks and graphically murders a series of victims in a random, unprovoked fashion, usually teenagers or young adults who are away from adult supervision and involved in illicit activities (e.g., sex, drug use, and the like).
		The two films most often charged with igniting the slasher film "craze" of the 1980s are John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) and Sean S. Cunningham's Friday the 13th (1980), both of which spawned numerous sequels and countless imitators that endlessly recycled their predecessors' character archetypes and plot.
		A mother avenges the death of her young son by killing the counsellors at a summer camp, and, in later entries, the son subsequently returns from the grave to avenge his mother.

		The Slasher is a mercenary, a gun for hire, and a guru.
		In a fashion that is vaguely reminiscent of a certain popular science fiction film, the Slasher can’t be reasoned with, he can’t be bargained with, and absolutely will not stop until you buy.
		The Slasher is gifted at what he does, but it’s questionable as to whether or not Bennett could be successful in any other endeavor.

		Slasher is a semi-comic and revealing documentary about the crude art of selling used cars in a hurry.
		The film focuses on one weekend in which Bennett and his team of "mercenaries" descend on a lot in Memphis, attempting to unload 60 automobiles in 48 hours.
		Director John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Animal House, An American Werewolf in London) brilliantly turns his comedic eye on one particularly off-the-wall weekend in the life of Bennett, as he's called upon to help a struggling dealership in Memphis, home to Elvis Presely and the bankruptcy capital of the world.

		A Slasher’s precise slash does not work against foes which are immune to critical hits (including undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures), and any device or ability which protects an opponent against critical hits also protects a creature from a precise slash.
		Beginning at seventh level, the Slasher can declare prior to an attack roll that he is using this ability and the attack roll is an automatic critical threat.

	DVD review of Slasher - DVDTOWN.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The title sounds sinister, unless you happen to notice on the DVD cover that "Slasher" is directed by John Landis, the man who gave us "Animal House" and "The Blues Brothers." Directors have different sensibilities and ways of looking at the world that, ultimately, will characterize their films´ overall style.
		The Slasher is real-life used-car liquidator Michael Bennett, a hired gun who travels from car dealership to car dealership all but a handful of days each year in order to move cars off the lot that just aren´t selling—a more lucrative alternative for dealers than auctions.
		Landis said that he´s not too worried about spoiling slasher sales across the country with this film, because he doesn´t think the people prone to buy cars at those liquidator sales are the same crowd drawn to independent films.

		He'll be called upon to hold a 'slasher sale', where he'll show up with a posse of sales people, a DJ, and scantily clad women, with a view to filling a car lot with potential buyers and having them each walk away with a cheap car.
		Michael Bennett is one such slasher, and when he's not boozing it up at home, he's on the road, paid five figures to roll into town and orchestrate sales that he claims bring in anywhere between 30 and 150 sales over a weekend.

		Regardless of which MOUNTAIN SLASHER came first, it is evident the grey stallions from the COPPERBOTTOM family exerted substantial influence on the horse stock of Walking Horse country.

	Isolation and Subjugation: The Telephone in the Slasher Film
		The modern slasher movie not only thrives on a breakdown of privacy, but in the slasher text the masked killer is the disappearing body, who is also a representation of the “other”.
		They are familiar with the slasher film rules: “don't answer the door, don't leave the house, don't answer the phone” (20).Yet, somehow, they still end up falling victim to the conventions because the violence of the horror movies they watch is so prevalent and dramatised that they have grown desensitised to it.
		We have seen that the telephone functions in the slasher film as a means of both isolation and subjugation, and that with the development of new information technologies the modern slasher film has tended to focus more on the latter.

	MSN MOVIES - TEEN SLASHER MOVIES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Teen slasher films have been a sick, fun and oddly moralistic genre since the 1970s; they work as wonderfully hysterical milestones for female slumber parties or as a terrific way to make the first move on a date.
		With the back-story of the brutal rape and murder of heroine Sidney's (Neve Campbell) mother, the poor girl is thrown smack into the stalking of a murderer who's obsessed with horror films himself, hence some clever sequences that satirize famous slasher forerunners.
		Not as gory as later slashers, "Black Christmas" benefits from marvelous atmospheric chills, intriguing plot twists and two fine performances by a young Margot Kidder and Oliva Hussey.

	Really Scary Review: Scott Nicholson Reviews "Slasher Films" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		By having those pleasures thrown under the cold glare of an academician's eye, we can be reassured that our particular brand of crudity is indeed palatable to the masses and not a refined taste reserved for the cultural elite.
		"Slasher Films" brings the dripping blade under scrutiny both as a formulaic subgenre of horror and a stylized art form, examining the emotional effects of place (often ordinary but confined), visualization (often the murderer's point of view), and weaponry (not limited to knives, since the "slasher" often employs a creative assortment of found objects).
		Armstrong gets applause for the bravura of such an observation as "Characters are often killed just to be killed; there appears to be no specific reason for a particular character to be murdered (other than the person just happens to be alone)." Pauline Kael couldn't have been more insightful than that.

Essentially, the relationship between the Virgin and the Slasher is identical in the eyes of society to the relationship between man and evil, with right always triumphant in the end.

		Well, in a nutshell, the slasher is Michael Bennett, a raspy voiced 'talker' who travels the country, 'helping' car dealerships to move stale units, turning a quick profit and in turn clearing the lots.
		The documentary Slasher chronicles one such Bennett excursion from start to finish as he travels to 'the bankruptcy capital of the world' Memphis TN, and the virtual circus that erupts in and around a Toyota dealership at one of Bennett's self-proclaimed slasher sales.
		It's a frantic scene, and as his wife and kids are wiping the crust out of their sleepy eyes just before 7am, Bennett is in the limo, on the way to the airport enjoying his liquid breakfast (yeah, a couple of beers in the morn'll cure what ails ya).

		Splatter film and its "half brother," the slasher, may appear synonymous to the uninitiated, but these volumes attempt to sort out what makes each genre unique.
		The prototype slasher film is defined as one that combines: an introductory murder or predictive event; a setting that does not inspire terror; visualized killings; a human or humanlike killer; systematic, thematic killing; and an unhappy or unresolved ending.
		The slasher film genre got its start in the early 1960s when acclaimed filmmakers such as Alfred Hitchcock and Michael Powell made provocative mainstream film such as Psycho and Peeping Tom, but it is most associated with the late 1970s and the releases of Halloween and Friday the 13th.
