This should've been happened
The second biggest gay day in entertainment history.. Number 1 was diana Ross coming out song... That was probably gonna be Freddy 2 theme song but Diana said my song isn't that gay, its not Freddy 2 gay
So they'll be more films in the Conjuring Universe just without the Warrens?
That's American audiences for you. That's why Hollywood keeps churning out the same shit over and over again because audiences want it that way. How many times do people need to see a knife-weilding guy wearing a goofy mask?
It's the reason why I generally avoid slasher films and don't care about completing horror franchises for the most part.
Same could be said about all these wack haunted movies... House bad, shit moves around, some strange entity does weird shit, some people come in to try to stop it, it usually ends well, sometimes it dont... Haunted movies been some of the wackest shit ever, yet they got a billion conjures, all them other wack movies.. House haunted, hey guys how bout we move, the end( the way it should really go)... At least slasher movies have different kills, different origin stories, etc... Last haunted movie I really cared for was the og poltergeist.. In the end they bounced and even threw the tv out the hotel room at the end lmaooo.... Than they made sequels zzzzzz and that's pretty much every other movie sense, that's why I watch none of them shits
What we do in the shadows series 1 episode 7
Sure, but you're forgetting the fact that there's been no backlash, whatsoever, when people don't make haunted house films or switch up the formula. If they threw an axe-murderer in a Paranormal Activity film, I doubt anyone would care.
But, I agree, the formula is the same, which is true of most horror genres, but it works. I'll take a haunting film over a slasher film in most cases. I don't care for goofy, knife-weilding serial killers who can't be killed for some, unexplainable reason. Stuff like Terrifier just doesn't do anything for me.
Also, they can always write it that the ghost can attach to you and follow you. They reference that in The Entity even though it wasn't depicted.
I don't like to put terrifier in the same convo of slasher films.. He's this new age shit that people jokingly call gornos.. Basically gorefest pornos.. Unrated stupid over the top shit for weirdos that don't care for stories or anything just obnoxious overkills
I'm a Jason Voorhees fan, Krueger fan, first 2 saw fans, first scream fan, other old school kills like evil dead 2

Just realised I was 7 watching this in the theatre lmaooo more movies that were inappropriate for me lol
I dont know what Mero doing since he cut off Dejeus
We kinda already had this discussion a few years ago when I said that the Conjuring Universe was likely more profitable than either the MCU or the DCEU. So, in a way, I think they're underestimating the value of horror.
Evil Dead is one of those films that could qualify as a slasher, a possession horror, a zombie/undead horror, and a haunting horror film. It's probably why I like that series over everything else you mentioned.
I think my problem with slashers generally is that they're basically murder thrillers with horror elements but not as good as either. For instance, there isn't any reason Se7en or From Hell couldn't be considered slasher films other than they're not considered horror (I think).
Edit: apparently From Hell is considered a horror along with being a mystery and a thriller.
Horror is supposed to scare you.. Thrillers intrigue you.. Its why they wouldn't put seven as a horror cause its not scary but definitely keeps you intrigued.. But the way horror is now, seven can be classified as a horror
That's the problem I have with slashers, they're not scary. At their best they can be a really tense, edge-of-your-seat experience when you're waiting to see if a character will die or not but they're not scary IMO.
I don't know if the Final Destination films technically count as slashers but they're a good example of what I'm talking about. They're one the least scary but most intense horrors I can think of. In that case, the tension factor makes up for the lack of scariness and I enjoy those films.

Jason, Freddy, myers, chainsaw massacre are slasher films . All these new age shit don't represent the og . Real horror was 70s/80s.. those were scary to many youths. Silent night deadly night, my bloody Valentine, physco pay attention to the common theme of slasher films is
The original when a stranger calls first scene would destroy most modern day horror flicks when it comes to the thrill and intense aspect
Final destination is not a slasher film
None of those are scary. Furthermore, they're basically just ripoffs of the Italian giallo films. People can like whatever they want but they don't offer what I want from horror.
Most modern day horror flicks aren't intense so that's not a large bar to clear. Apart from the Final Destination films, the only other horror film I would call intense would be Dawn of the Dead. Very few horror films are intense which would be fine if they're actually scary.
I don't look at any flick in the 2000s as horror films . Like I said 70s/80s were true horror genre.. Freddy and Jason terrified many kids.. jaws had people rethinking going onto the beach, exorcist had people terrified, poltergeist scared people.. looking at horror flicks in your 30/40s shouldn't scare you.. that's why you shouldn't judge a flick from your modern age and think if you were in single digits or preteens.. I remember those 70/80s flicks scared the shit out of people.. like I said the beginning of the original when a stranger calls was great cause that could actually happen in real life and the twist was the dude was actually inside her crib and unfortunately kids got killed in that flick
But like I said the meaning of a slasher film is a killer or killers going after people, terrorizing people and killing them with different weapons.. that's literally the definition of a slasher film/genre
Nonsense. Horror flicks scare plenty of adults. In fact, some adults, like my uncle, still can't watch them in their 50s.
Anyway, I wasn't judging by my current age but by my adolescence. I was around 12-13 when I really got into horror and, of course, I started* with the slasher films because those were the most talked about. They weren't scary to me when I was an adolescent. Meanwhile, a good supernatural horror were always able to creep me out which is what I liked.
Yeah, I know a killer can happen in real life but, of course, plenty of people will argue up and down that hauntings can happen in real life too. What can't happen in real life is that a serial killer can survive gun fire unscathed and continue to kill. That said, the plausability of the situation doesn't mean it's scary to watch. Man-eating sharks, tornadoes, and tsunamis are deadly and can happen in real life, that doesn't make watching movies about them scary.
As for no flick in the 2000s being horror, that's definitely a hot take. I know for a fact plenty of horror afficionados would disagree. Personally, I won't touch on it because it's irrelevant to my point. Which is, simply, slashers from any era aren't scary. You're not going to convince me otherwise. I don't care how many people found them scary decades ago or even today. They're not scary to me and they're my least favorite horror.
*Actually the horrors are started with were more comedic horrors like Toxic Avenger and Leprechaun series at around 10-11 years old.
