Psychotic Saturdays! Six Psycho Slasher Flicks To Check Out!

This weeks Psychotic Saturdays! film list are six slasher flicks that are worth checking out. They feature variations of the slasher genre from the killer clown to serial killer on the prowl to the crazed psycho forever seeking revenge. I try to pick film suggestions that are not as well known or may not be as great as the bigger budget movies in an effort that you may look to more Indie material for inspiration in that ever spiraling fall into insanity-at least for Saturday and the pleasure of a day filled with movies that feature bad acting (subjective) cheesy effects(also subjective) and gory deaths (imperative).
