In 1978, an unproven filmmaker named John Carpenter cobbled together $300,000, a four-week filming schedule, and the up-and-coming daughter of an iconic scream queen. The film would gross $70 million, and become one of the most successful independent films of all time. Of course, that film was Halloween. Not only was it a wild success in the late 70s, but it birthed a decades-long franchise of horror films centered around the ultimate boogeyman, Michael Myers. The impact that Halloween had on horror, and in particular slasher films, would reverberate throughout cinema.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the landmark horror A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). The film, which introduced the iconic villain Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), transformed the face of the genre, blending the then-typical slasher (only a relatively new breed at the time with the likes of Halloween and Friday the 13th) with disturbing supernatural elements only a creative genius like director Wes Craven could dream up.

Sci-fi, perhaps more than any other genre, lends itself to producing cult classics. After all, by definition, the genre deals with speculative and futuristic ideas, meaning that they're always literally ahead of their time.
