A fun start...

A fun start to the Summer slasher series for me, and I think I chose correctly with this film as a beginning. Starting late in June, I needed a film that wasn't quite set entirely during the school year or at the end, considering May is long gone. A couple years ago, I started too early, but done so because Prom Night (1980) was the key film in the slasher series. This year, I will certainly factor in a slasher movie or two, I imagine, set during the school year, but I hope to add an eclectic bunch of movies to the slate in 2015.

I think some of us, as teens (and, yes, adults), had (or, yes, have) "fantasy posters" we'd love to hang on a wall. I loved specific box arts when I come across them, and this for Slaughter High (1986) was definitely one of them. Before I finish up with closing comments on the film, I wanted to pay homage to the poster that caught my attention at Down's Video as a kid. I would go into this specific store which has two shelf aisles chock full of horror VHS. Slaughter High was a fave I would eye. I have this review I have start/stopped over the last few months that I'll eventually drop for Dead Pit which to me rivals Slaughter High as one of my personal faves. I'd like to have both in my collection, but DP never made it (I would love to pick up the Code Red edition, though) unfortunately. Any horror collector, avid or picky, has those few they have always wanted in their library. I'm glad I got a chance to add Slaughter High to mine. Now if I could just have the poster to hang on the ole wall.
