Subreddit Rules
- Be relevant: This subreddit is about slasher films. There’s some debate about what a slasher is, but it’s generally easy to identify what's definitely not, e.g. zombie movies. If you’re unsure or the point of your post is to ask, make this clear. Failure to adhere will result in a struggle cuddle from Jason.
- Critique opinions, not members: Disagree with others' views, but never resort to personal attacks or unconstructive comments. This includes, but isn't limited to, sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, threatening language or profile-stalking. As in all good slasher movies, swearing's permitted, as long as it's not directed personally towards users. Violations will result in a summer at Camp Arawak.
- Fan content is OK, selling is not: "They just laugh at us, and why? Because we love something?" Promotion of non-monetized fan art, films and projects is OK
- selling. Violators face a night in the Chopping Mall.
- No AI content: Please only submit original content and avoid use of generative AI. Rulebreakers are referred to M3GAN.
- No pirated content: Copyrighted or pirated content is banned - this includes links to full movies or instructions on how to download paid-for content for free. Clips of no more than 5 minutes are OK, except reaction videos. Pirates in violation face a trip to a leper colony on the Elizabeth Dane.
- No real-life horror: Don't post about real-life murders or atrocities, unless historical and linked specifically to discussion of a slasher film (e.g. The Town That Dreaded Sundown, or movies reputedly "inspired by" killers such as Ed Gein or Ted Bundy). Absolutely no posting of real-life gore. Rulebreakers get a tummy tickle from Freddy.
- Spoilers are the most brutal kill of all: The slasher genre is over 60 years old; the average fanbase is much younger. Don't assume everyone's seen a movie just because it's old. Be mindful of revealing plot points (victims, killers, inventive kills) and use spoiler tags if in doubt. Offenders will face a 14-day ban or be told who the killer is in Scream 23: Retirement to Woodsboro.
- No tier lists/rankings without discussion: Use of TierMaker or other ranking/listing tools is banned. Simple lists without added commentary are deemed low effort. Rankings are allowed where there is accompanying discussion in the main body. Rulebreakers are added to Billy Chapman's naughty (tier) list.
