Author's Note - Stalkers

Slasher movies were a mainstay of the horror world throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s. Since then, the standard formula has been adjusted slightly to add new life to a dying, tired theme. Because of this, I prefer to use the term STALKER and the place of SLASHER; the one trait that really hasn’t changed is the fact that the victims tend to go to where the killer is, into their lair or territory. The killer is akin to a poisonous spider or snake and their victims are cute little mice. I still might refer to a film as a SLASHER just because it it came out in the glory days of this expansive sub-genre of horror.
