The Slasher (1974) Original Movie Poster Folded 27x41

The Slasher (1974) is a low-budget American horror film, often regarded as an early precursor to the slasher genre that would explode in popularity during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The film follows a masked killer who stalks a small town, targeting victims in violent and gruesome ways. Though it predates some of the more well-known slasher films like *Halloween* and *Friday the 13th*, it features key elements of the genre—such as a mysterious killer, a series of bloody murders, and a group of characters caught up in the terror. However, *The Slasher* is often noted for its limited production value and relatively tame execution compared to later films in the slasher boom. It remains a curiosity for genre fans due to its place in horror history, showcasing early slasher tropes before they became fully refined.
