Horror QUIZ #6: Psychos
January 16th 2007 05:03
A staple of the stalk’n’slash genre, psycho killers have been roaming the cinematic streets for decades. They have it easy a lot of the time; they don’t have to say much, or even do much, apart from relentlessly stalk their victims (usually at a slow steady pace), and once their victims are cornered or surprised, the psycho will generally murder them in a particularly brutal and gruesome fashion. And it’s all logically excused in the name of insanity.
