The Slashers: 1980 (Season 1 Rebroadcast)

Coming to you from the last video store in the universe, this is The Slashers.

Season 1 was originally recorded in 2023, and we’re re-airing it now on this new feed to get you ready for Season 2!

Hosted by Jason from Binge Movies, Megan Kerns from Spoilerpiece Theatre, and Paul from The Countdown, The Slashers takes you year by year through the golden era of the slasher film. Each episode, we assemble that year’s Blood Pool — a lineup of slasher movies — and at the end, we hand out awards for:

  • Best Artwork

  •  Best Kill

  •  Best Cult Classic

  •  Best Final Girl

  •  Best Overall Flick

1980 Blood Pool
  • Don’t Answer the Phone! (Feb 29, 1980)

  • Friday the 13th (May 9, 1980)

  • Prom Night (July 18, 1980)

  • Motel Hell (Aug 14, 1980)

  • Schizoid (Sept 1, 1980)

  • Fade to Black (Oct 14, 1980)

  • Maniac (Dec 26, 1980)

Some became icons, some became obscurities, but all sharpened the blade for the slasher boom to come.

Subscribe to The Slashers feed so you don’t miss Season 2, coming very soon.
