John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ isn't the only good horror remake worth watching. This season, you can scare up something better for your next marathon with these killer picks.
From its rise in the 1970s to its heyday in the 1980s to its metatextual reinvention in the 1990s, the slasher movie is a horror subgenre that, like many of its villains, just won't die. Like a lot of horror premises, the setup of a killer often masked, often toting a signature weapon preying on a group of unsuspecting victims is malleable enough that it's launched hundreds of different stories, and the killers themselves are often so memorable that they inspire plenty of sequels.
