Today was the last full day before we leave New York City. Started the day by seeing the last two films of our abbreviated Tribeca coverage.

Those of us who are fans of the slasher genre live by this credo, and we all have our favorite perpetrators: Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Chucky….
