Generally I’m not a huge fan of movies, but I horror/slasher movies I find to be very entertaining. So without further ado here’s my favorite horror movie “monsters”/slasher

Jason Voorhees - Friday the 13th

Don’t ask me why because I don’t know, but there’s something down right chilling about this guy. In fact Jason was my first introduction to slashers on the movie screen. I was about 7 years old sitting in a motel room in Ontario Oregon waiting for my dad to get back from the bar. I ended up watching Friday the 13th part 2 and I’ve never forgotten the scene where Jason snares the guy and slices his throat while he’s hanging there upside down. Not generally considered his “baddest” kill but it spoke to me.

Mostly because at the time I lived in the woods with my family and to even go to the bathroom was about a 30 yard walk to an outhouse. No lights, no electricity and a sudden urge to use to pot in the middle of the night… after watching Friday the 13th. You do the math.

Pinhead - Hellraiser

Not a lot needs to be said about this character. From the incredibly twisted mind of Clive Barker. Pinhead is the head Centobite (demonic race) and was first introduced to the world via Barker’s The Hellbound Heart novella about a tool for summoning evil called the Lament Configuration. I highly recommend Hellraiser 1 and sorta recommend Hellraiser 2, but skip the rest.

Vengeance Demon - Pumpkinhead

I’ll let the trailer do the speaking about the film. One of my favorite horror movies of all time and highly underrated.

But what about Freddy? What about Micheal? What about Djinn from Wishmaster? What about them? This is my list, remember? If you want a list of your own, go for it!
