That would have definitely been something.
Halloween (I don’t know what the basis this is as being a grindhouse flick - distribution? - but I at least don’t consider it an exploitation flick)

Halloween revitalized the slasher genre, the genre that Sire Hitchcock created with Psycho. And the distribution was minimal at first. It made virtually no money, but thanks to word of mouth - it garnered a large audience and then kablamo! It was picked up and it became a staple horror film. The films that this bad boy spawned were: Friday The 13th, Silent Night Deadly Night, Nightmare On Elm Street (sort of) - and other 80s-90s cheesy knockoffs.
