Why aren't there any animated slasher horror films?

>>149724704 (OP)
kinda hard to make a cartoon really scary unless theres REALLY dramatic gore, i love MM but i cant imagine him being remotely scary in a cartoon

With an animated film you have a higher creative ceiling. You can add a whole bunch of cool scenes that would be stupidly hard to pull off in a live action film
That's the trade off in my opinion

Ah I see... since /co/ is a coomer board they don't care about manly things like blood and gore violence...

This works pretty well

Too expensive and requires the execs to give damn.

>>149724704 (OP)
Slasher films are pretty low budget, it would cost more to be more difficult to frighten by moving it to animation.

>>149724720
Does anyone even find slasher movies scary? It's more just entertainment value to me, trashy fun, violence and sex, cool killers etc.

Scream has a lot more normie appeal because it has more soapy drama, actual characters to follow, and a mystery angle, but most of the genre is pretty much a niche thing that honestly, I don't think most fans find actually scary

The scariest movies to me is shit like "The Strangers" where it is straight up just random people from your neighborhood who kill you because they needed a target and you happened to be home.

>>149725344
Yeah, I guess everyone finds different things "scary". Gore, killers, jumpscares etc never did it for me, when I was young I was only scared of supernatural things and like (intelligent) aliens, the less explained the more it creeped me out

>>149725364
>the less explained the more it creeped me out
This is why the first five nights at freddy's will always be the best

>>149725364
Yeah that shit is also scary. It's feels hard to describe but despite not being raised religious or anything there is a fear of the "other" or that things vaguely supernatural could be real or the suggestion just scares the shit out of me. Malevolent spirits, random psychos, that thing that always stands 100 yards away watching you, they are scary.

>>149725364
>supernatural things
>>149725452
Do supernatural things still count for slasher or does it become a different genre after including it?

>>149726209
Friday the 13th and Scream are typically placed in the same genre.

>>149726209
Supernatural horror is more about supernatural happenings being the focus, a slasher is about a serial killer.....who might be supernatural, something like Nightmare on Elm Street blends them the most, but it's still much more rooted in slasher territory because of how it plays out.....bunch of teens, killed one by one.

I love slashers, but supernatural horror is more about the unknown and mysterious shit happening, The Shining being a perfect example of a movie that creeped me out as a kid cause I didn't know wtf was going on, but with slashers I just kinda had fun with them

youll fit in soon summer fag, soon.
just be patient.

>>149725056
Not true, otherwise the death battle thread wouldn't be the most active thread here.

>>149725172
slashers are really fucking boring for me because most of the time it's just a guy with a pointy weapon, I can't take them seriously because I'm always thinking JUST SHOOT HIM, which isn't the case for things like ghosts, monsters, psychological horror, basically any horror movie that doesn't revolve around just 1 guy with a pointy weapon is an improvement over slashers.

>>149725364
Normally gore does nothing for me, but the "house" in, well, The House That Jack Built kinda unsettled me. It's this kind of surreal unnatural gore that gets to me for some reason.
It wasn't torture scenes or murders themselves, it's this fucking house. Something about this kind of final indignity that rubs me the wrong way.

>>149724704 (OP)
Even if there was one, it would probably be horribly cheap like most most animated gore films like To Your Last Death or Frank Sudol stuff are.

>>149726491
Well some slashers are more "realistic" where a killer is creeping and crafty, shit like the major ones all have a supernatural element either immediately or eventually, because Michael, Jason, Chucky, and Freddy are all basically unkillable, just temporarily stopped

OP is a pussy and has never watched a single slasher in his life

>>149724704 (OP)
there needs to be more animated horror in general. the only ones i can think of are anime.

>>149724704 (OP)
Animation has too big of a level of abstraction to scare most people, especially if you keep it to something like a slasher.
I think something like suspense would work better in animation rather than typical horror.

Plot twist, it's a 80's early 90's saturday morning cartoon were all of them live in a castle or a cabin in a swamp an every episode they try to catch a kid (without explain why) but they're too dump and selfish so they interfere with each other so the kid in question escaped and they finish fighting among themselves. Ash could be the hero in certain episodes and the recurrent joke is Freedy tricks him into reading the Necronomicon and ends being "enchanted" so he ends smashing plates on his head until one of the kids remove the enchantment.

There’s a few of them on Tubi now. Made back in the 2010s with no fanfare.

Dang dude
>>149726827
Honestly would work more as that than a pure horror

That's essentially what 9 was. It was marketed like a big action adventure but then you watch it and it's essentially just all the characters getting killed off by monsters one by one with a consistent dreadful tone until the very end.

only a matter of time until they make the low hanging fruit crossover of jason and scooby doo

Slashers are notoriously affordable to make

Animation is notoriously expensive

you do the math

>>149725056
You say that like those things are mutually exclusive

fucking casual GTFO my board

>>149724704 (OP)
>kid-friendly animated shows based on Nightmare on Elm Street, Evil Dead and Final Destination
>each episode of these shows is Freddy Krueger, Ash Williams or Death pulling Looney Tunes/Tom & Jerry/Scooby-Doo style pranks
>the season finale of each end up in a wacky crossover between the three
>Daffy Duck, Shaggy Rodgers, Beetlejuice, Sub-Zero and the Gremlins make their respective cameo appearances in the finale to shill WB stuff

Slasher films are popular due to a heavy Return of Investment on low budget. Animation is almost antithetical. The strong RoI comes from high budget, borad marketability and often going for stunt casting too. Too often there's a "for kids" stigma that doesn't mesh well with the shallow reputation slasher horror has. Also liquids/blood effects are hard to do in stop motion and for some reason animation only does horror in Stop Motion [or occasionally some 2d movies like NIMH or Watership but no one does 2D anymore either].
