I love slasher films, but there are so many films in this genre, that sometimes it's hard to pick a few to watch. So what are your most obscure favorites? I'd like to watch three a night if possible.
I love Pieces (1982), Black Christmas (1974) and Deep Red (1975) but they are not "obscure" slashers... :)

"Obscure" slashers...
1... A Blade in the Dark (1983)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQtK8wLVw2A
2... Torso (1973)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVxoiIZ8l0o
3... Private Parts (1972)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mURQ4OKRygA
Note: Not the Howard Stern movie... :)
Bloody Moon
Intruder
Just Before Dawn (my fave)
The Final Terror
Blood Rage (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085253/) is good for it's unintentional hilarity.
Sorority House Massacre 2: Nighty Nightmare is a huge favorite of mine. Just make sure to have a few beers before watching it - it kind of loses its charm when sober.

Slumber Party Massacre is another favorite.
Not safe for work!

The Majorettes has a lot of hot babes in it.

The Redeemer: Son of Satan! (1978)

Terror at Tenkiller (1986)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoKvgdhMRIo
Afraid of the Dark (1991)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc3H35ekEK4&feature=related
Cold Prey (Fritt Vilt) (2006)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBWRHD_i6nE
I strongly second Just Before Dawn, though it's not all that obscure
The Maze (2010) is pretty damn effective for a newer slasher; it has some surprisingly creepy scenes
HELLNIGHT with Linda Blair - one of my faves!
THOU SHALL NOT KILL -EXCEPT (1980) is bloody fun!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeW3gSozGeU
That's director Sam Raimi as the boobie grabbing hippie!
Mario Bava's BAY OF BLOOD (aka CARNAGE) (1971) was very much a gory percuser of the FRIDAY THE 13th films....and a lot better!

Truth Or Dare: A Critical Madness

The most obscuree slasher movie I've ever seen is The Burning which features a young George Costanza. There is a great raft massacre scene that was done by Tom Savini.

The Prowler (aka Rosemary's Killer). Okay, so it's not very good and not very obscure, but it's a slasher movie.

Mother's Day (1980) - definately a slasher, but because of the violent rape aspect of it, it's also considered exploitation. Very bad movie but also a bit creepy because of that aspect.
Has anyone here watched or finished Killer Nerd (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102209/)?
I rented it years ago, and had to shut it off. It's pretty painful, but real masochists might enjoy this SOV POS

LAS VEGAS BLOODBATH (1989) is the most horrible slasher flick I've ever seen, quality and content-wise. A Jerry Seinfeld look-alike cuts his wife's head off and carries it around Vegas as he murders random lowlifes, prostitutes, and lady oil wrestlers. It has the double whammy of being incredibly dull AND containing some truly disgusting scenes.
If any movie ever deserved to be lost, this is it.
I did like the scene where a driver flips a bird and Not-Seinfeld shoots his middle finger off.
If you want to learn more about this one don't ask me, you can look it up for yourself.

Oh yeah! If you are looking for something REALLY
sleazy in your slasher and don't mind wading through some subterranean-tier production values and acting until the final 30 minutes, LVBB is for you!
The ending, though mean-spirited, gross and quite implausible, is brilliant.
I just bought Las Vegas Bloodbath as part of a 6 movie set - for three dollars :bouncegiggle:

A hidden gem of badness! I have it in a Mill creek 50 movie pack.

Yep it's the kid we all know and love from The Christmas Story... It's a mystery to my why this movie is so obscure... You would think somebody would want to make money from another movie staring a kid (at the same age) in The Christmas Story... But this one is a slasher... :)

I couldn't find any trailers for it, but I remember seeing a film back in the 80's, an NC-17 film called Nightmare that starts out with a kid murdering his parents with an ax. There was a throat slashing scene in the film that's very hard to forget.
Beyond The Darkness aka Buried Alive was a hideously violent movie that I haven't forgotten in 20-some years since it's days on Gorgon Video VHS.
I also remember a film called The Phantom Of Terror from the early 80's.
EDIT: I also remember a very obscure movie with Micky Dolenz as the killer, called Night Of The Strangler. Yes, that Micky Dolenz.

Good call on that one. Very obscure and disturbing. There is a trailer out there under the better known title "Nightmares In A Damaged Brain"

I have it on DVD-R!
Recommended only for its badness level..
DON'T GO INTO THE WOODS (1981)
It's notoriously bad, and hilarious. Especially the end credits song, done to the tune of Teddybears' Picnic.
