I'm not sure I would call Hellraiser a slasher. In slashers you always have a single maniac killing people at seemingly random, though there are often hidden motives. Hellraiser is not about that at all, Cenobites are always conjured (at least in the movies I've seen) and there are more of them, even if Pinhead is the most prominent one.

I'd go for A Nightmare on Elm Street, it's one of the best horrors I've seen and was pretty innovative at the time. The less said about the sequels, the better.
