The astral-jumping Underworld can be accessed at any time through a portal in a cabin near the point. The Underworld can also be accessed while fighting MONOCULUS, the player spawns further ahead in it if done through the MONOCULUS jump portals or the [[Bombinomicon (character)|Bombinomicon]] after defeating Merasmus. A large amount of the map's health kits are located in the Underworld, due to its size. Be warned that entering the Underworld grants no healing; players in the astral-plane suffer the [[Environmental Death#Health drain|Underworld health drain]], and it takes multiple jumps to the closest Health Kits. When exiting the Underworld through the far portal, players receive [[Healing#Overheal|overheal]], a period of [[Invulnerability]], a speed boost, a [[Critical hits|Crit boost]], and a Rare Magic Spell.

Welcome to Camp Saxton! (...) Think you got what it takes to face the roulette and survive? Bet with your life and roll the dice!
— Slasher publicity blurb
 ”

Slasher is a Halloween-themed, community-created, King of the Hill map released during the Scream Fortress 2018 update. It is set in a haunted campground.

Slasher was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Features

As reflected in the totem poles scattered around the map, it features a rotation of all the Halloween bosses, including Ghosts, the Horseless Headless Horsemann, MONOCULUS, Merasmus, and Skeletons. The map also features two pits of death and a large Underworld. Like many other Halloween maps, magic spells are littered around the map.

The astral-jumping Underworld can be accessed at any time through a portal in a cabin near the point. The Underworld can also be accessed while fighting MONOCULUS, the player spawns further ahead in it if done through the MONOCULUS jump portals or the Bombinomicon after defeating Merasmus. A large amount of the map's health kits are located in the Underworld, due to its size. Be warned that entering the Underworld grants no healing; players in the astral-plane suffer the Underworld health drain, and it takes multiple jumps to the closest Health Kits. When exiting the Underworld through the far portal, players receive overheal, a period of Invulnerability, a speed boost, a Crit boost, and a Rare Magic Spell.
