As I am expanding my DVD collection I find myself yearning for the good old early 80s/late 70s slasher flicks. The ones that are always rated "R", have nudity, gore, and a killer stalking a camp/town/college/group of locals etc. So, I want to hear about your favorites. I'll post a few of mine:

Obviously no collection would be complete without Texas Chainsaw Massacre (though a bit before its time), Friday the 13th (part 1) and Halloween (1 and 2). Though I normally detest slasher sequels, I think Halloween 1 and 2 worked reasonably well together. Some other mentionables would include My Bloody Valentine and Happy Birthday to Me.

There's so many more out there that I may have seen but can't recall how good or simply have never seen. For example, Pieces, Sorority House Massacre, Cheerleading Camp, etc. Name em and tell me what you think of them (keeping in mind this is genre specific, I know it's not high quality film art but it's entertaining to me).
