Can You Match The Horror Movie Victim To The 80s Slasher Movie?

Ah, the 1980s. A simpler time, when hair was huge, streaming was something your nose did when you had a cold, and suburban parents didn't worry that their teenage children were spending too much time with their nose glued to a phone screen, because they were instead worried that they would be eviscerated by dream demons, decapitated by lake zombies or gutted by Good Guy dolls.

Yes, the Golden Age of slasher films may have started two years earlier with John Carpenter's Halloween, but the '80s saw the genre develop and, for better or worse, multiply exponentially, with long-running franchises like Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and the continuation of the aforementioned Halloween series coming to characterise the slasher scene. However, there's a lot more to the gore core than just bloated and increasingly unscary Hollywood gravy trains. Dig around, and you'll unearth a veritable mausoleum of interesting and artful one-off slasher films, from around the world, waiting to haunt your dreams and make you think twice about attending that med school party on the moving train.

As the name more than suggests, slasher movies tend to come with a high body count. Given that some of the genre's leading lights each have over a hundred kills to their name, it can be difficult to keep track of which hapless soul had their time cut short by which gruesome means, and in which particular 90-minute slice of terror. That's where you come in!

Can you match these '80s slasher movie victims to their respective films? Do you know your Sleepaway Camp from your Slumber Party Massacre, or do you think Michael Myers is the guy who created Shrek? Will you be the final girl, or will you slip and break your neck before the opening credits have rolled? This quiz is a killer!
