The 80's was when teen slashers were at the best. After Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the 70's, the 80's saw many sequals made to carry on scaring audiences. However, the 80's saw the introduction of two of the most iconic mass killers of the horror genre; Freddy Kruger (Nightmare on Elm Street series) and Jason Voorhees (Friday The 13th series). These two crazed murderers prey on teen victims. Freddy Kruger kills his victims when they are most vunerable; in their dreams, and Jason Voorhees tracks and kills a group of teens who go camping. Because the victims in both sets of films are just normal teens doing normal things it made audiences fear that it could happen to them and this really scared people at the time.
Another crazed killer of the 80's was an unusual one; a doll that goes by the name "Chucky". "Child's Play" is about a young boy who recieves a doll for his birthday. Little does the boy know that his doll has been posessed by the soul of a cereal killers who goes by the name the "Lakeshore Strangler". In an attempt to leave this plastic body, Chucky goes around killing anyone who gets in his way!
