Stephen King, the king of horror, has finally spoken out about the slasher genre and didn’t hold back! While Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger have been terrorizing cinemas for decades, King watched from a distance—but one film literally horrified him to his core — ‘The Toolbox Murders’. This brutal slasher, once banned in the UK for extreme violence, features a serial killer who murders victims with tools from a toolbox, and King says the scene where a guy hammers nails into a girl’s forehead was so gruesome it made him sick, yet oddly fascinated! Unlike horror movies that build atmosphere and leave a mark on your mind, this flick is just shock and gore with zero depth. Thought you’d seen it all in horror? Think again — King calls this the worst slasher ever! Dare to watch it or sticking to the classics? Drop your hot takes and let the debate begin!
