Slasher

Slasher is a term used to describe a serial murderer who kills his victims using some form of bladed instrument. The term is derived from the slashing motion one makes with a weapon such as a knife or axe.

The phrase has also been used to describe films where slasher serial murderers are the primary antagonist. As a sub-genre, slasher films came into popularity in the American market in the late 1970s with John Carpenter's seminal work Halloween. It could be argued however, that earlier films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre were the forerunners of the modern slasher.
