IMDB identifies over 2k movies with the “slasher” tag. I’m going to be working through watching these. They aren’t all available nor are they all feature length so that will dwindle the list down quite a bit. I started yesterday with PEEPING TOM (1960) & will continue today with PSYCHO!

Interesting quest!
I wonder of you'll stumble on a few that blur the line of what makes a horror movie a 'slasher'. I've not seen PEEPING TOM, but from the description I read, it would definitely qualify at the very least as a "proto-slasher".

Many do blur the line… like you said the proto-slashers (Peeping Tom, Psycho, Giallo films, etc) but I tend to be very inclusive of the subgenre because it’s my favorite. For instance, I even include movies like Cobra & Predator in that mix.

Wow! Very generous, but I can see Predator falling into the mix
