“Remember, avoid the knife, keep your life.” Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men, Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina) heads up the time traveling whodunit Totally Killer. The 2023 slasher/sci-fi/dark comedy/mystery has a lot going on in it with two plots running parallel in the present and way back in 1987. In the film, Shipka plays Jamie Hughes, aContinue reading “Totally Killer (2023)”

Revenge Of The Slashers: Michael Myers
The night HE came home! Happy Halloween! You’ve made it to the final day of Thirty-One Days O’Horror! My month long celebration of my favorite slashers comes to a close with none other than Michael Myers! He wasn’t the first slasher, isn’t the most lethal, but he’s the granddaddy of ’em all! There was noContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Michael Myers”
Revenge Of The Slashers: “Billy”
“Filthy Billy. I know what you did, nasty Billy!” Although we barely get a glimpse of him in the film, “Billy” is easily one of the creepiest slashers on my list this year. Appearing in 1974’s Black Christmas, “Billy” terrorizes a houseful of sorority sisters by making obscene phone calls to them and then killingContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: “Billy””
Revenge Of The Slashers: The Prowler
“I want you to be my date, Rose.” Of all of the slashers on this list, the Prowler is probably the one most forgotten despite having some of the most brutal kills in cinematic history. The original film, which I reviewed here, fared poorly at the box office, but the gory kills that came courtesyContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: The Prowler”
Revenge Of The Slashers: Angela Baker
“If she were any quieter, she’d be dead!” She might be sweet on the surface, but Angela Baker is a big ol’ bag of messed up under the skin! 1983’s Sleepaway Camp introduced the world to Angela and thanks to the brilliant performance of Felissa Rose as Angela, the character has been a part ofContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Angela Baker”
Revenge Of The Slashers: Paul Andrews
Beautiful Forever While most folks know the late Bill Paxton for his work in hit films like Twister (1996), Tombstone (1993), and Aliens (1986), not many remember him as Paul Andrews in 1983’s Mortuary. It was one of his earliest film roles and it’s pretty twisted! Paul is the shy and somewhat innocent son ofContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Paul Andrews”
Revenge Of The Slashers: Frank Zito
“You want to look pretty, don’t you?” Although panned by critics and released in varied censored versions, 1980’s Maniac still managed to develop quite a cult following and even spawned a 2012 remake starring Elijah Wood. The film focuses on the internal conflicts of Frank Zito, a man with a severe psychological disorder thanks toContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Frank Zito”
Revenge Of The Slashers: Mother (Norman Bates)
“A boy’s best friend is his mother.” Although his kill count is well below that of many of the other villains on this list, Norman Bates (as Mother) is arguably one of the most famous slashers of all time. Between the masterful direction of Alfred Hitchcock in the original Psycho (1960) and the amazing performanceContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Mother (Norman Bates)”
Revenge Of The Slashers: Art The Clown
“He thinks what he is doing is funny….” Despite a fairly brief career that covers three feature films and two short films, Art the Clown has quickly risen to the top of the slasher heap in the last decade. The sadistic clown debuted in the 2009 short The 9th Circle, written, directed, and produced byContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Art The Clown”
Revenge Of The Slashers: Lillian Nebb
Computers And Axes….A Love Story When computer nerd Gerald Martin encounters the lovely Lillian Nebb in her father’s Paddock County bar, their shared love for technology makes them fast friends…and lovers in 1988’s Edge Of The Axe. Oh, and there’s a psychotic killer on the loose as well. That killer is an axe-wielding masked maniacContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Lillian Nebb”
