    There's a lot of fun movies on youtube for free all the time. Some available from youtube themselves (like Child's Play right now), but many uploaded from users. Mostly films that are either abandoned or with limited releases.

    I watched a great one recently, Terror Eyes from 1989. It's a student film project with some faces you might recognize.

    I have a really good cable plan so I just say the name of a movie I'm looking for and it searches through a ridiculous amount of channels and apps to find me the movie for free.

    But, I'll take a look at YouTube

    My favorite slasher movie personally is Child's Play. More specifically the Bride of Chucky just cause I love Tiffany so damn much. Anything past Seed of Chucky I don't like. Especially the 2019 movie.

    I also liked Freddy vs Jason a lot as a tween but it's been a long time since I've watched it so it might not be as good as I remember it.

    I just watched Freaky a couple of days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's technically a slasher but also a horror comedy. But if you like Mortal Kombat fatality level of slashing then it's a good movie to watch.

    Okay is going to reel off some, what I find are good, some classic and some more recent but worth a watch, I guess depending also on what you like. :)

    IT follows. Scream (1,2,3 are the best). Carrie(the old one). The Shining. Misery. Bite. Contracted. Mara. Mama. Saw. Hostel (number 3 was terrible) Braindead. Eden Lake. Lights Out. Trick R Treat(good for Halloween - short stories) Ouija - origion of evil (the first one was eh). Waxworks. Goodnight Mommy. The Omen. Martyrs (french version is better and not one for those who struggle with torture/gore) Wish Master. (skip number 3 lol). Happy Death Day( 1 and 2) Paranomal Activity. The Fly. Evil Dead. (The remake is also good). Night of the Living Dead. American Werewolf in London. Alien( 1-4) The Silence of The Lambs. Us. V/H/S (short films)

    Are there any horror movies you've seen and liked? Or have you never really watched horror movies before? Does it need to be slashers in particular or are you interested in other types of horror as well?

    It can be difficult to make suggestions for slashers because the ones people would recommend are usually from the '80s and they often assume that anyone interested in horror has watched those movies, already. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Child's Play (1988), Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and the first three Friday the 13th movies (and I quite enjoyed Part VI: Jason Lives) are considered classics. The Friday the 13th remake is enjoyable. Candyman (1992) and Sleepaway Camp (1983) are also classics. The first Scream movie is good (I personally dislike the others, but that's just me).

    Suspiria (1977), part slasher and part supernatural horror, is an absolute classic and one of my favorites.

    American Psycho (2000) is fantastic. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010) is hilarious, I loved it, but it helps to have seen other slasher movies to understand the stuff it's parodying.

    Inside (2007), High Tension (2003), and Bedevilled (2010) are really great foreign slasher films, but they 1. require reading subtitles, and 2. are very brutal. They're not introductory movies and probably start crossing into splatter territory. Saw (2003) is light splatter in comparison to those.

    Edit: I really like The Crazies (2010), which is kind of a cross between an infection movie and slasher movie.

    Edit 2: You mentioned slasher, so I specifically stuck to slasher. Personally, slasher is probably my least favorite type of horror. Sci fi, supernatural, psychological, splatter, body horror, infection... any of those I'd probably pick over slasher, if you're looking for any more movie recommendations. Like, The Thing (1982) is my absolute favorite movie ever; that's sci-fi body horror.

    Here's a list. I recommend sticking with the originals, not the remakes.

    Friday the 13th - this Friday is the 13th so always fun to do marathon on that day.

    Halloween

    Nightmare on Elm Street

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre

    Child's Play

    Candyman

    Scream

    Sleepaway Camp

    Terror Train - Jamie Lee Curtis and David Copperfield

    Prom Night - another Jamie Lee Curtis

    Slumber Party Massacre - second one was hilariously amazing. End is like if Grease met Sweeney Todd had a love child. 😂

    Tucker & Dale v Evil - horror comedy but so so good.

    Popcorn

    Serial Mom - Jon Waters horror comedy.

    April Fools Day

    *edit to add Club Dread, another horror comedy.

    You absolutely must watch the original Halloween. It's the OG, the granddaddy, the Creme de la Creme, the Grand Puba, i will stop now, of slasher movies. Michael Myers is such a cool character in his simplicity. He's just pure evil, no motive, no reasoning behind it, just pure unrelenting evil.
