tips for slashers
pt: tips for slashers
heyy fellow slashers!! yeah we’ve got a few kicking around as well, nice to see others!
get a costume of yourself!! doesn’t matter if it’s cheap or cheesy, that’s kind of the whole charm of old slashers!
watch all the old slashers, all the old horror movies!
get something like a faux butterfly knife to fidget and play with, it feels comfortingly dangerous but also is completely legal and safe for others! (also they’re just super fun to learn)
if you’ve got time or feel like it, apply to work at a scare house or maze nearby during october. it’s so much fun, and can feel amazing to get to scare people again
collect clothes, trinkets, and jewellery of yourself or other slashers
try harsh, dark makeup looks (sharp eyeliner and contours, dark blacks/silvers/bloody reds, etc)
try out horror sfx makeup if you want. wounds, creepy faces, general horror, there’s a lot you can do with it
listen to some music from the time. the 80s has so many different amazing sounds to connect you to the height of slasher time (our personal favourite is 80s speedmetal)
get some fake blood and have fun with it (put it on clothes, props, yourself, anything you want) it’s super fun, and readily available during halloween
involve yourself in an alt culture that you enjoy, slashers and horror are often greatly appreciated and associated with alt cultures
check out if ice nine kills has a song about your source! they do songs about all kinds of horror, and they’re amazing at it. i CANNOT stop listening to “your number’s up”, their scream song!
try out voice acting to work on a slasher/horror voice
do things that remind you of your source (ex, camping for friday the 13th, calling people or talking about horror movies for scream, practice lucid dreaming for nightmare on elm street, etc)
happy to help other slashers, hope you find these helpful! -🔪
Requests open!!!
