Two 80s slashers that SLAUGHTER the genre…

Posted on June 20, 2013 by Daniel

They’re from the 80s. They’re slashers. They both have the word “slaughter” in the title and sit side by side on my horror shelf. So that’s why I’m taking on Slaughter High and Slaughterhouse. SLAUGHTER HIGH (1986) Slaughter High gets … Continue reading →
