For six bloody years (1978-1984)â€•the golden age of slashersâ€•cinema screens and video stores were stalked by homicidal maniacs with murder and mayhem on their minds.

Packed with reviews of the best (and worst) slasher movies and illustrated with an extensive collection of distinctive and often graphic color poster artwork from around the world, this book also looks at the political, cultural, and social influences on the slasher movie and its own effect on other film genres.
