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.

Notes
- Underneath the control point, accessible only by
noclip, there is a room with two ghosts and three cages; this room is used to store the Ghosts when they are not in the map.- In the same room, there is also a non-functioning portal.
Trivia
- The setting and name for the map are both inspired by the slasher film, Friday the 13th.
- The words "RED SMELLS" followed by the addition of "GOOD" can be found in the RED outhouse. This is a reference to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode Sailor Mouth where SpongeBob "finishes" someone's insulting graffiti on a dumpster by adding the word "good" to it in a similar fashion.
- There is a hidden yeti cutout located out of bounds, and is observable in the BLU side mine area.[1]
