They have been frightening and thrilling audiences ever since with their bloody scenes and crazed killers." "This filmography catalogs more than 150 slasher films. Entries provide major cast and production credits, a plot synopsis, a short critique and often interesting production notes. Some of the films covered include Alice, Sweet Alice, American Psycho, The Burning, Cherry Falls, Curtains, Deep Red, Frenzy, Hide and Go Shriek, Maniac, Prom Night, Scream, Sleepaway Camp, Slumber Party Massacre, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Filmographies are provided for slasher directors, actors, writers, and composers."--BOOK JACKET.
