thoughts on noms:
Peeping Tom: Probably the front runner for me. This film is a classic and I loved it when I saw it.
Black Christmas: I believe I've seen it a couple times, but neither time did it really live up to its reputation for me. I'm curious to see how I'll react to it now.
Alice Sweet Alice: This was nominated the first time around. It's a great bit of nasty, gritty 70's film-making.
The Prowler: My nomination. It doesn't re-invent the slasher wheel, but it does the slasher film genre justice. That poster is atrocious though, I've never seen that poster before.
Psycho II: There is no way it can be as good as the original, but I've heard good things about it. I'm hoping it will be in the same vein as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
Slaughter High: I don't think I really know anything about this one.
April Fools Day: I know I've seen this before, but I can't really remember anything about it other than I didn't care for it.
Scream: Speaking of re-inventing the slasher wheel. I suppose this did that, but other than being a shot-in-the-arm for the genre, this film is mostly a good time with a few things that I'm actually not looking forward to revisiting.
I Know What You Did Last Summer: I know I've seen this film, but I don't know if I actually have ever seen it from start to finish in one sitting. It's been a long time though. From what I remember, I don't expect this to be very high on my final ballot.
Inside: I'm aware of this one, but I haven't seen it. I never really thought of it being a potential slasher for some reason. This is probably the one I'm most excited about seeing for the first time.
Terrifier: I know very, very little about this one.
