Are Slasher's "Acting"?
Being an actor, emotions are the hardest thing to portray, and most of the challenge of acting comes from that. Now, you are portraying a totally emotionless killer....You walk around with a knife, do some occaisonal stunts....Whoop-dee-dooo. Sure, the character is kool....but not bacause of the actor, beacause of the writers, and the costume
There are exceptions, Im not adressing all slashers (Robert Englund is very talented as Freddy), Im mostly talking about the silent, emotionless killers, Jason and Micheal being the most prominent.
As stuntmen, some are very, very talented. But how does that count as acting? Are stuntmen credited under "Cast"? Nope. Why? Cause they arent acting.
Please keep this to a respectable debate, If you disagree, please state why.

Six bottles went down the drain
One hour's a waste of time
I'd ask if you feel the same
Still pushin that chance to try
Your breath in this cool room chill
Long hair that blows side to side
You speak and make time stand still
And each time you walk right on by
