One of the best subgenres of horror movies is the slasher. Slashers bring all sorts of terrifying and exciting fun to the big screen. Arguably, this subgenre has been around for about the last century, containing countless classics that have terrified audiences for generations.

And although the people audiences have to thank for these masterpieces are the creatives behind the scenes, carefully planning and articulating the worst nightmares imaginable, another body audiences have to thank are the villains. Its always fun to root for a good slasher villain, especially when theyre so good at it.
