Top 30 Slasher Villains

When it comes to slasher villains in horror movies, their history dates back to 1960, although the slasher horror genre didn’t exist under that name until the 1970s. The earliest movie that many consider to be the grandfather of slasher movies was the Alfred Hitchcock horror movie Psycho, but it wasn’t until the 70s that movies like Black Christmas

and Halloween actually created the genre, with the rules and staples that many fans know to this day. From the babysitter killer motif and the murder of young adults in remote locations to the idea of the Final Girl, by the time the 1980s rolled around, slashers were horror’s most popular subgenre.
