Slasher genre

The slasher genre is a type of horror that focuses on a killer who hunts and murders multiple victims, often in graphic and suspenseful ways. Typically, the stories involve a protagonist or group of characters being stalked or attacked, creating tension and fear. Slasher films often feature a masked or mysterious killer with a distinctive weapon, and they explore themes of revenge, morality, and survival. The genre became popular in the late 20th century with movies like "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th," known for their intense violence, eerie atmosphere, and suspenseful chase sequences.
