Question:
What is the first slasher film? In the vein of Halloween, Friday the 13th, etc.?
Answers:
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was released in 1974 as was "Black Christmas". Despite the Wiki article, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" should be properly considered the father of all slasher films. TCSM influenced everything that came after it: "Halloween", "Friday The 13th", etc. It still looms large in the horror genre. "Black Christmas" is merely a footnote in movie history.
