No slasher films - Rosemary's Baby, Alien, Amityville I-II.
Ironically, for all its artistry, Alien is essentially a slasher in space.
But, of course, I understand what you mean though.

If you're not going to a Party and just staying home, are you planning on watching any particular film this Halloween? I know Halloween isn't followed in Britain, (not really), and forget about Norway, but if you're viewing anything significant this October 31'st, care to share?
We weren't planning anything special, commensurate with Hallowe'en's standing in the UK (despite supermarkets trying to turn it into another pester power holiday) but we've been invited to go to our friends' house to watch the original Halloween on their big telly. Which will be nice, because I haven't seen the original, nor any of the sequels, and I think Mrs TG is in the same boat.

I've finally picked my 3 films which should take me all night to get through. 1. 'The Innocents' with Deborah Kerr and Pamela Franklin. 2. 'Curse of the Demon', (still incredibly frightening to me.) and 3. 'Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein'. (This film has been 'growing on me' over the years, and the Blu-ray looks great. Great score to this film as well.)

I went to see the new Halloween movie at the Empire Leicester Sq ....10.20 am showing. Really enjoyed it. Good to have Jamie Lee Curtis and Carpenter involved again.

Bill, West End cinemas often open early for a blockbuster, to squeeze in as many showings as possible.
Imax Waterloo had a 6.30 am showing for Spectre back in 2015

Really, I class a slasher if the human is slashing, nothing else, Freddie, Michael, Jason are silly fictionals, still 2 arms & legs.
Whoever labelled creatures/monsters etc, as slashers are stupid, I saw Alien 3 can't see it in either, point taken.

Hey, alien’s got two arms and two legs. 
I don’t classify them as slashers either, but the alien does function very much like a slasher (hunting people down one by one, killing gruesomely and without purpose, narrowing the body count down to the “final girl” in the third act).

- its certainly one of Jack's most darkest characters the score sums that up nicely too.
