Scream VI hit theaters, bringing Ghostface back to haunt the young adults of Woodsboro, but this time, they’re fighting for survival in New York City. Whodunit slasher horror movies are a popular subgenre that spans several decades. Here’s a look at five iconic entries in the category to watch after watching Scream VI.
‘Black Christmas’ (1974) Olivia Hussey as Jess | Warner Bros.
Winter break is here, but Jess (Olivia Hussey) and Barb (Margot Kidder), and their fellow sorority sisters begin to receive terrifying anonymous phone calls. Barb initially believes that they’re some creep making a joke, but his strange remarks turn into pointed threats. When one of the sorority girls goes missing, they begin to suspect that a serial killer is on the loose.

Just when you thought slasher movies couldn’t get any lower, My Bloody Valentine dug a mineshaft. A deep pit in the caverns of taste. Date movie? My Bloody Valentine was the antidote to Hallmark cards. The main suitor didn’t wear his heart on his sleeve; he bled it out with every candy in the box. Hence why critics weren’t so sweet on the slasher flick when it first came out in 1981, labeling it excessive and derivative.
Nevertheless, the movie has amassed a cult following, and did indeed add subtle innovations to the genre. Is the ‘80s horror offering the low-point of slashploitation or were the reviewers merely suffering overkill fatigue? Quentin Tarantino claims this is his favorite slasher flick, which could be used as an argument for either side.

With Morgan J. Freeman’s Homecoming hacking its way onto DVD today (courtesy of Paramount Pictures), we here at Dread Central thought it a perfect occasion to take a look back at our favorite on-screen axe murderers as a way of indoctrinating this new blood into the mix.
10. Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare) – Fargo (1996)
Grimsrud may not be an axe murderer per se, but you’ve got to respect the way in which this guy chooses to solve problems. After an irreparable altercation with his partner in crime, Grimsrud puts his conflict resolution skills to good use courtesy of a hatchet and a woodchipper.
9. Lisa (Leslie Lee) – Lisa, Lisa (1977)
Known to some as The California Axe Massacre, that title is a bit over-compensatory considering only one victim bites it via the edge of an axe. Leslie Lee makes for a superior on-screen psychopath in this demented little quickie from the drive-in era,...

We broke the news on the new Jason Voorhees and now we've discovered who will play the killer behind the mask in Lionsgate's remake of My Bloody Valentine, which hits theaters January 23, 2009 in 3-D. Bloody-Disgusting learned that stuntman Chris Carnell (Iron Man, Spider-Man, The Devil's Rejects, among many others) will play The Miner/Harry Warden (the killer in the film), which was original played by Peter Cowper in the original 1981 pic. No word on if the character's name has changed or not in the remake. In the remake Tom (Jensen Ackles) returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the life of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders.
