Check behind the door and around the corner because something’s out there. That’s right kids, we’re kicking off October with the first of four horror-themed episodes. This week, it’s Slasher Movie Trivia for episode 245 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast.

Now, there’s no hard and fast rule about what constitutes a “slasher movie”, but I went with some lists of popular films in the subgenre to come up with these thirty movies.

Did I miss one you love? Let me know on Spotify or social media. Oh, speaking of social media if you’re on BlueSky, come follow the show. Just search for Dorky Geeky Nerdy and you’ll find us. I also have a link to it on DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.

I hear approaching footsteps so let’s get going.
