slasher movies ARE splatter films ... not sure what you're getting at here.
everything that could be done with a slasher was done - after halloween and fri 13. after that it's the same old thing over and over and over again. (there are a couple of exceptions - not many)
the 70's horror films were defined by satanism - possession, devil worship, etc ... they had a real thing for them back then. they had a gritty feel and usually a cast of A list actors ...
the 80's horror films were populated largely with soap opera actors.
