When you see so many films, it's hard not to notice trends. One of them I've felt like addressing is a trend in Slasher Film covers. Let's start off with Urban Legend 2, a film that totally needed to be made.
Seems simple enough. How about the third film- which has completely abandoned the serial killer concept- to see if there is something in common?
Speaking of third films in the series (although this one has a Zombie Fisherman), here's yet another familiar poster.
Leave it to David DeCoteau to rip off this familiar idea for a Slasher film of his own.
But wait- there's more.
For his 1313 series, he ripped it off AGAIN. Dull surprise.
One more for the road- a 2012 Slasher film that benefits from an extra-nightmare-inducing mask. Yikes.
The next time you and your friends stand together in a line, look behind you. There's a 99% chance that a masked killer is behind you.
