Slasher Deep Dive - Part One

About this episode

The episode features a deep dive into the origins and key figures of slasher films with guest Lizzie Hopley.

It's time for another Deep Dive episode and this week we're joined by regular guest and slasher fanatic, Lizzie Hopley. Jason, Michael, Freddy and Leatherface. No, they're not the members of a noughties boy band, they're the most iconic killers from the world of slasher films. In this first part of a two-part slasher special, we take a look at the 'big 4', the origins of the genre and which films are worth your time. Part Two is coming next week, where we get into the honourable mentions and post-2000's entries.
