I've got a rewatch of his gothic-protoslasher-spaghetti western ...And God Said to Cain penciled in for the weekend. I hope it's as good as I remembered!

Blood and Black Lace (1964)

A protoslasher and early giallo that has it all: Beautiful woman, an unknown killer, it's set in a glamorous European fashion world and the murder set pieces are quite fun.

4/5⭐️

WEIRD WATCH WEDNESDAY: Someone is stalking a wealthy family and its loved ones. But who? #NightOfTheStrangler is a grim, odd, protoslasher from the early 1970s. #AGFA consideringstories.wordpress.com/2026/09/30/n...

Thirteen Women (1932)

Available on Criterion Channel. @criterion.bsky.social

Dark, delightful, and dripping with all that pre-Code goodness. Myrna Loy is an awesome villain. Fun protoslasher premise. A true '30s gem.

Watch more old movies.

Masacre En El Autocine me funciona misteriosamente bien para ser una protoslasher demasiado interesada en una investigación policial que brilla por su ausencia. Aunque no abundan, sus muertes se sienten particularmente adelantadas a la época y hay algo malsano en todos y cada uno de sus personajes.

‘Alice, Sweet Alice’: Unmasking the Protoslasher From New Jersey
New Jersey was once the frontier of movie-making. The invention of the first movie viewer and movie camera originated from the East Coast, not Hollywood, which would later become the hub of filmmaking...

Movie studios used many gimmicks to compete with TV in the 1950s and 60s... even mental health tests?! Yes!

I would say it’s a protoslasher but it definitely wouldn’t fit in with the 80s definition of a slasher

The Spiral Staircase (1945) a gothic horror that follows a mute woman who is the target of a serial killer. Kind of a protoslasher. Great cinematography, good and atmospheric. I need to watch more Richard Siodmak, I’ve liked everything of his I’ve seen

Head cold + wicked allergies means I'm staying home.

First up: Peeping Tom (1960)

Protoslasher that effectively ended Michael Powell's career. If you like movies that are way creepier than they have any right to be, check it out. There's a 4K remaster on Kanopy.

Kann nicht glauben dass noch niemand Black Christmas (1974) erwähnt hat. Die Remakes sind eines schlechter als das andere, aber der Originalfilm ist ein super Protoslasher

Und noch ein Film, der Spaß macht: The Sacrifice Game boxd.it/AKIu
The Sacrifice Game (2023)
Christmas break, 1971. Samantha and Clara, two students who are staying behind for the holidays at their boarding school, must survive the night after the arrival of uninvited visitors.
