Ok, for one, what people think when they hear the term slasher has nothing to do what makes Michael or Leatherface better than one another.
I understand the Halloween theme where there's many people in masks, yes, that can be frightening and yes, TCM doesn't have that feel, it has a better one. The fact of getting lost in a backwoods area in Texas. Then descovering, not one but a family of phycotic, deranged, cannible serial killers. And what is more frightening is that you can not reason with them what so ever to get away. Wouldn't that be more scary than turning around in your house and quickly being stabbed to death. I'd much rather get killed quickly like that, such as in a Halloween movie.
As for Freddy. I expected you to say he was lame. I do admit the series got out of hand after the first three movies. Originally, Wes Craven wanted Freddy to be a mean nasty character, not a corny goofy character. He even said himself how he got pissed seeing how his character became a camedian. In the orignal Nightmare movie, Robert Englund created a character known throughout horror history. His character was suppose to be nasty, laughing in your face while you are screaming crouched in a corner and he'd say something mean and brutal. The movies after the original took his one liner idea and decided to make Freddy speak more which was the biggest mistake. But looking at the original Nightmare film, couldn't you say it was a master peice? No offense but I think you are being ignorant about Freddy. I respect all horror films, but you seem to know not too much about Freddy only that he's "funny". Haven't you notice his original character? And how it was suppose to be which was way much better?
And Stalker, (lol) There's more than just one great actor to play the role of Jason Voorhees.
And for the record, I own all the Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, I use to have a large porsion of the Halloween films but I am down to the first two and currently, I own all the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films and many many other horror films.
and also, Tales From The Crypt is the greatest! Thats what got me into horror when I was a young one, lol.
