Agreed. I would have voted TCSM.

And also wondered what are the boundaries for a "slasher film"? One strict impression would be it's only a film where a guy is running around stabbing people with a knife. But even then, how many people think of Psycho as a slasher film?

I think, like other horror genres, it was originally meant to be a derogatory term for every "Halloween ripoff", "any film that's basically nothing more than a series of bloody murder scenes".
