Shawn Van Horn has been a Senior Features Author for Collider since 2022 with a focus on horror, and 90s TV and movies.
The Big Picture Slashers ruled the 1980s, and the best year by far for them was at the beginning of the decade in 1981. In a twelve-month span, horror fans received Halloween II, Friday the 13 Part 2, My Bloody Valentine, and The Prowler, just to name a few. There was another slasher in 1981 that doesn't get held up quite as high as those titles, but it should.
1 The campfire tale Sales and director Joe Giannone wrote about was the legend of Cropsey, the story of a man with extreme burn injuries who may or may not have a hook for a hand who escapes from a mental hospital and kidnaps children to avenge the death of his own son.
We're instantly placed in the villain's world, which immediately raises the threat. Marz was an evil, mean, ugly man who beat his wife and kids. He also had an extreme facial injury, having his nose bitten off during a bar fight. One night, on a night just like this one, of course, Marz went mad and killed his entire family with an axe. After that, he went to the bar and confessed, leading the townsfolk to drag him to a tree and hang him, while also burying the axe in his neck.
