Horror films of the early 80's

• Friday the 13th by Sean S. Cunningham released in  1980 a “slaughter spree” low budget splatter movie was greatly successful.

• Red Dragon by Thomas Harris (Dr.Hannibal) the fictious character creates the notions of the perfect serial killer in film.
• This created such a trend that it continued in sequences such as The silence of the lambs, Hannibal, which was adapted from Red Dragon masterfully.
