Yeh 80s slashers are definatley my favorite sub genre. Its weird no one bothered to make a sequel to The Burning because its in my opinion THE slasher of the 80s I think I even rate it over Halloween. How much does that scene on the raft kick ass?! I'm writing a horror movie at the moment that I'll be filming this year. I think it'll be somewhere in the style of 80s slashers with the grainy dull low budget exposures of 70s exploitation movies. I like how alot of those movies had a "snuff" film like quality that added to the realness of the films (Deranged, The Prowler and Texas Chainsaw Massacre are good examples of this). I like the total sadist like nastyness of the 80s slasher movies because there were some truely sick, evil characters as villians that would eat most of the lame attempts at villians they keep pumping out latley for breakfast. One movie I was suprised about never having any sequels was My Bloody Valentine... it was even set up perfectly for a sequel at the end.
