Which Masked Slasher Are You?

Masked Killers

Maybe you haven't heard, but Halloween is right around the corner! In just a few weeks, kids and adults everywhere will don their costume of choice as they go out to trick or treat or party it up with their friends and coworkers. One of the more popular forms of Halloween costumes is that of the costumed serial killers that pop up so often in the horror genre.

The masked horror slasher has been around for almost as long as the genre has been popular, even appearing as far back as the stories of Edgar Allan Poe. However, in the late '70s the genre was revolutionized with the gritty and gruesome Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This movie was able to create a horrifying atmosphere and get under the audience's skin without showing much gore, but the most significant thing it gave the horror scene was the masked murderer Leatherface. Not long after Massacre was released, other masked icons like Jason and Michael Myers came onto the scene and placed their bloody mark on the genre.

Though the whole "masked serial killer" thing has been done to the point of ridiculousness nowadays, the characters behind the mask are still heavily ingrained into popular culture, and a diamond in the rough will pop up every now and again. So, want to know which one is most like you? Take this quiz and find out Which masked killer are you?
