About this list

Slashers have a long history with cruelty played as a joke: the humiliated kid at the party, the hazing that goes too far, the dare nobody should have taken. Usually someone comes back to settle the score. This is a list for films where a prank, dare or hazing ritual goes wrong, and the horror follows from it.
