Hack or Slash - A Horror Movie Review Podcast

Written by: Hack or Slash
Listen for free

Each week a panel of horror fans discuss horror movies past and present. We believe horror is for everyone, regardless of how familiar you are with the genre, or which flavor of fear you fancy most. We dissect new releases, compare originals to reboots, and tell you whether or not the movies are a hack (a waste of time) or a slash (totally killer - pun intended).

  • Our Definitive Jason Voorhees Ranking

    Our Definitive Jason Voorhees Ranking
    Aug 14 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week we’re ranking every version of Jason Voorhees. We break down thirteen incarnations of Crystal Lake’s most infamous killer, scoring each on his look, presence, creativity, and brutality before combining our wildly different opinions into one definitive ranking. From Sackhead Jason and the original hockey mask to undead Jason, the feral 2009 reboot, and the chrome-plated absurdity of Uber Jason, we debate which versions best capture the icon, revisit the kills that defined them, and reckon with a final ranking that surprises even us.

    This week we’re ranking Summer Camp Slashers. We debate which killers deserve legendary status, defend unforgettable camp icons against modern challengers, and sort twelve slashers into four definitive tiers. In this episode’s b-side, we explore real-life adult summer camps, imagine a Hack or Slash meetup at Camp Crystal Lake, and tease future Summerween plans.
