Nice to see Just Before Dawn get a mention. Great flick.

[@BraxtonBogard]

Edge of the Axe is coming to Blu-Ray in 2019!

[@strangehausproductions]

You’re the best, man! Easily the best obscure slasher list anywhere on the Internet

[@pizowell]

Thank you for the kind words!

My list of great slashers! Don’t Go in the House Christmas Evil Pieces Intruder (1989) The Prowler Night School Slaughter High Curtains Graduation Day The Burning Dr. Giggles The Slumber Party Massacre Splatter University Mountaintop Motel Massacre

[@UziSuicide666]

StageFright aka Aquarius

[@zombiTrout]

Love the soundtrack to that one.

[@codyw1]

I was going to say the same thing. Absolute classic!

[@DeanWinchester69]

Great suggestion. I bought the DVD release from Anchor Bay back in 2002. It was a blind buy for me at the time, but when on saw on the cool cover art that it was directed by Italian director Michele Soavi I had to get it. I'm glad I did!

[@pizowell]

I haven't seen the film in years and I don't own it. I do recall liking it. I'll add it to the list for a re-watch.

[@msmith1845]

My fav slasher. I have the OST signed on vinyl. A beauty

[@Aster_Risk]

Alice Sweet Alice is a childhood favorite. I have two sisters and we loved to that movie, especially because it was about sisters. It added another level of eeriness to it for us. :D

[@joeymorvant161]

I didn't think THAT was even possible...that movie made even EERIER!!!!! Lol!

[@redwillow79schippers94]

I would add Happy Birthday to me. It's fantastic and very underrated. Such a unique ending

[@simonpiacente3989]

Just Before Dawn is such an awesome movie....Not just slasher, but as a total movie....The score, performances, cinematography, vibe, twist, everything.......Totally recommended......

[@deej8983]

That whistle noise is creepy and sets the tone

Very nice job on the video. I have to give The Mutilator another shot. I remember being disappointed in it because it had an interesting set-up (son accidentally kills mom and the dad wants to kill him) but it seemed they didn't do much with it. The grown up son aka the lead seemed as if him & his dad were cool (thus taking his friends up to his 'dad's place') even though the guy was ready to kill him as a kid, and I thought they would do some kind of 'last stand/mano a mano' between the dad & the son at the end...but they didn't really do anything with it. Thought it was a missed opportunity, but again maybe it's a flick I need to give another shot. Hmm...underrated/obscure slasher films? To name a few for me... *Fade to Black - to me, an underrated flick starring Dennis Christopher as a guy who is a film buff and loves older movies, but he gets picked on all the time until he has had enough. So he goes out, pretending to be various film characters (including Dracula in an ode to the Psycho shower scene, a mummy, a gangster, etc.) to kill/get his revenge. Features an early role by Mickey Rourke. Solid flick and a great performance by Dennis Christopher. *Murder By Phone - fun to me based on the premise/the way the killer does his business. He uses a phone line so that when you pick up the phone, he sends some kind of electrical pulse that makes your eyes bleed, electrocutes you, and creates an explosion. Including at one point blowing a guy through his office and out the window of a building. It stars Richard Chamberlain. Many would call it slow (and yeah, it's silly) but I still rather enjoyed it. *Amsterdamned - loved the premise of a killer doing his deeds among the canals, using a diving suit, and it features some really stand-out sequences for a slasher flick. Including a boat chase which would fit well in a James Bond flick.

[@pizowell]

A showdown between the father and son at the end of The Mutilator would have been cool. A real knock-down-drag-out kinda thing would have been interesting. I actually just re-watched Fade to Black for the first time in years just a few weeks ago. It slipped my mind, however. I haven't seen Amersterdamned, but I'm hoping to snag the upcoming Blue Underground Blu-ray.

[@LordofNalicNod]

Another good slasher to recommend is Alone in the Dark with Jack Palance, Donald Pleasance, and Martin Landau. You can watch The Mutilator on Shudder and for free on the Tubi app.

[@Thrillin_Chillin_Drillin]

Scare CrOw (2002). A vengeful wise-cracking scarecrow takes bloody justice to the next level Eyes of a Stranger, also a song by Queensryche

[@theopenrift]

The way you describe The Dorm That Dripped Blood sounds an awful lot like my all time favorite guilty pleasure film: Pieces. It came out the same year and has that Giallo heritage in it that is just fun to watch.

[@Death17912]

7:42 that wink tho, Piz haha.

[@Tsadi9Mem9Khet9]

I just suggested Bloody Birthday a couple of weeks ago in a KZbin video chat when someone asked for suggestions as to what obscure horror movies to do commentaries for.

[@shanerod9708]

Awesome vid Piz. Thank u. Luv hearing about those lesser known slasher flicks

[@Sims_E]

Wow! And I thought I know a lot about slashers.... I knew only Just Before Dawn & Alice Sweet Alice from this list. Thanks for the new titles! Will check them out!

[@michaelnagel32]

Great video! Thanks. As of a week ago, The Mutilator was on Prime Video as well. Just Before Dawn is one of my favorites👍🏻

[@Nazzlover38]

My best friend introduced me to Hide and Go Shriek and I loved it! Yes Alice Sweet Alice is available on Blu-Ray from Arrow. Don't forget Slaughter High.

[@UKPoliScience]

I've just recently discovered your channel and have been watching your stuff. You said you are from Kentucky. I'm from Lexington.

[@pizowell]

Always good to hear from another Kentuckian! Glad you discovered my channel, and welcome aboard!

[@mousiespanks2379]

@@pizowell I'm from Winchester Kentucky and I am now living in Florida. I'm an avid slasher fan but amazingly enough I had heard of all those titles but I think the only one I saw years ago was Just before dawn. Great stuff. I like Night Screams from 1986.

[@mcmaniac1000]

Shallow Grave. Rented it on VHS back in the 80s. About some guy in a Sheriff outfit stalking a group of friends. Creepy killer and some gruesome kills.

[@crazyleg2006]

Thanks for some obscure titles I'm gonna hunt for now... I'm Subbin'!

Thanks, man! Glad to have you aboard.

[@alex22621]

Alice, sweet Alice is out on blu-ray (88 Films)

[@robertjennings6036]

A great Dutch slasher film from the 80s is the classic Amsterdamned. Well worth a look.

[@pizowell]

Robert Jennings I'll hopefully snag the Blu-ray for that, which is coming out very soon.

[@user-ov7zo3pj1n]

Great video. I've actually watched the mutilator for the first time a few weeks ago. I thought it was really fun. Extremely cheesy and pretty awesome gore to my surprise. I mean the movie really had some damn good kills. Unfortunately though, i live in germany and it's not very easy to get unknown and older movies here. I was actually really lucky to find the mutilator. I hope i'll find some of the other movies that you mentioned in this video too. Have a nice day

[@marcstriano3522]

Fun house, the prowler, Christmas evil.

[@rythehorrorguy2851]

He Knows your Alone, Intruder, New Years Evil, Don't Answer the Phone and Alone in the Dark

[@DJDonnelly]

Great video. I know i need to go to your website to post a movie request but I will post it here to save time. My second movie request is mischief night from 2013. In my opinion it is Hush done the right way but instead the woman is blind not deaf anyways would love to here your thoughts on this one

[@joeymorvant161]

Mischief Night is good.

[@joshuaward3646]

Arrow Films has done a blu-ray release of Alice, Sweet Alice.

[@michaeltnewyorknights8413]

I don't consider "Bloody Birthday" a slasher film. Fun film, nonetheless.

[@shallendor]

Thank you, Hide and Go Shriek is a movie i saw back in 88 that i liked, but i only remembered that it was in a furniture store and a woman lost her head by elevator.

[@1974123456]

hide and go shriek you can still get at 26 dollars there is a website that sales code red and scorpion releasing and still have plenty

[@pizowell]

Thanks for the intel, Shane!

[@Mike13v2]

Not sure if you'd call it a slasher as its been a while since ive seen it but George Romeros Bruiser i found pretty interesting when i saw it.

[@80shorrorronniepierce67]

I remember the movie I watched USA and it seemed to be on alot it had pewee Herman as a janitor at a county station with I can't remember his name the you yo man and his horse not on here it was a county and his horse and killer that made funiture outta victims and killed cheerleaders at cheerleading school I had it but can't remember the name at the beginning about twelve cheerleaders get javeland thru

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

Perfect Blue is a great 90's movie.

[@heebertgeddies3911]

hell night 1981 starring Linda Blair is in my top 10 slashers of all times

[@starseyes2696]

I'm looking for a 70s movie , I belive it's low budget film, starts out with some teens sitting in a living room and these black and white guys tie them up and , well it gets brutal but I can't rember the rest , I think the beginning starts in black and white , can't rember but it was a great older horror movie 😀 New sub here , love your work. Thank you 🤗

These are pretty mainstream amongst hardcore fans, man. Can we get a 'SUPER' obscure & underrated list, or is that beyond your capabilities, private?

[@heebertgeddies3911]

eyes of a stranger 1981 was terrifying

[@luv2eatpuss79]

couple of films I think deserve to be on the list The Slayer - Arrow just released a special edition blu ray packed with features. Can't wait to get ahold of it. Really good slasher film. Kind of a precursor to Nightmare on Elm Street. I do think the ending is a little anti climactic and confusing. Nevertheless, solid slasher flick Superstition - paranormal type slasher film that doesn't get enough love IMO. Hell Night - doesn't get talked about in the same vein as other films, bit one of my favorites from the 80's. Linda Blair is sexy as hell in this film Sorority House Massacre - again, a forgotten flick That is really good. Happy birthday to me - a little long for the genre, but I like the Giallo feel to it

[@butteredtoast8666]

I recently saw the movie "Sleepaway camp" And the ending I NEVER SAW IT COMING!!!!" What trip?!?!!?

[@joeymorvant161]

Nobody ever sees it coming! THAT would DEFINITELY be a movie that, had I never seen it, I would HATE someone to ruin it for me! Fortunately.........nobody ever did.😊

You know, I was expecting more garbage, with one dude recommending the ones we've all seen, or recommending movies that are not slashers (TCM and Maniac are typical). You, sir, are a connoisseur. Gladly surprised, great list.
