A good number of the murders are borderline disturbing, even for the series's usual Narm Charm standards...
Unmarked spoilers below!
The Executioner
- The murders, and how they are executed. Although Fridge Logic kicks in when you realize the Executioner's victims are punished in a similar way to how sinners are punished in Hell.
- Wrath. The punishment is being dismembered alive. Verna is tied to her bed and is dismembered for her wrath.
- Gluttony. The punishment is being force-fed rats, snakes, and toads. Justin ingests cocaine laced with rat poison as punishment for his gluttonous desires.
- Envy. The punishment is being put in freezing water. Brenda's envy towards her best friend Sonja results in Brenda being held under freezing lake water by a cinder block.
- Sloth. The punishment is being thrown into a snake pit. Trent and June's decision to leave Ariel on the street without helping her results in the former falling into a snake pit while being chased by the Executioner and the latter being covered in honey while field animals eat her alive.
- Greed. The punishment is boiling alive in a pot of boiling oil. Alison's desires to use other people's pain for monetary gain results in her decapitation and her head searing in a restaurant's deep fryer.
- Lust. The punishment is being smothered in fire and brimstone. Chief Vaughn's lustful actions towards Ariel results in him being burned alive in a crematorium.
- Pride. The punishment is being broken on the wheel. Tom's pride results in him getting cut to ribbons by a saw blade, a device that resembles a breaking wheel.
- The ending has a sweet little girl frolicking about her new house. She finds a cat nearby... and cheerfully snaps its neck, returning to her oblivious parents with a satisfied demeanor.
Guilty Party
- Gene's death, wearing nothing but a towel when the parka-wearing killer disturbs his sauna before taking him by surprise with a chainsaw to the stomach, cutting his body upwards before bringing it down to his groin.
- Andi finds Talvinder's decayed corpse and is too stunned to notice the killer running at her with a small log, knocking her out. When she wakes up, she finds herself tied down to the snow and screams helplessly as the killer slices into both sides of her neck.
- The killer ambushing Antoine in the toolshed where they knock him down with an auger, which falls and impales him before the killer slowly makes their way to turn it on.
- Megan's death through poisoning manages to be disturbing despite involving very little gore.
- Renée's ruthless torture of Glenn is very graphic and disturbing.
- Mark's flashback has a former client graphically blow his wife's head apart before committing suicide in front of him.
- Frank Dixon is decapitated, and his head shoved onto the ornament of his car, and later on revealed that his phone was shoved into his head. This death kicks off the season with a strong start, as well as an indicator of things to come for the other victims.
- Cassidy has her face dunked into acid to the point where her face is unrecognizable and then left at the top of the school bathroom's ventilation shafts to rot.
- Xander has his head bashed in, then a glass measuring cylinder shoved into his mouth, hot water poured down his throat and then his blood is turned into coffee.
- Kaili Greenburg's death is absolutely nauseating. Cruel and Unusual Death doesn't even begin to describe the sight of her first being crosscut with a scalpel before having her sternum and ribs cut with hedge clippers, before the Druid finally pulls her upper cavity open with their bare hands. And topping it off is the fact that she's awake, helpless, and screaming through a gag for the entire thing.
- Amy's death, with having a drill shoved into her head.
- Joe and Violet's deaths consist of the Druid stabbing Joe repeatedly in the groin and then stabbing Violet's head. On camera.
- Both Detective Pujit and Roberta's deaths: The Druid shoves Pujit's face into a broken blender and lets it destroy his face and Roberta is attacked from behind with an axe and when she finally sees it's Connor who's the Druid, he proceeds to repeatedly smash her face in with the axe. By the time he's done, it's a mushed mess.
- Jen murdering Amber, who's basically her and Conner's surrogate mother. Jen, out of frustration at Amber's behavior after Justine's death as well as blaming her for said death, she proceeds to repeatedly stab the hell out of Amber until she's dead. It's out of nowhere and comes off as very chilling considering the most "normal" death of the series.
- It could be also noted that this season of Slasher could be the goriest in the series! Not for the weak of stomach.
Flesh & Blood
- Merle is the Gentleman's first victim, speared through the mouth with a meat hook and then Gutted Like a Fish, with his skin peeled back and his guts pulled out.
- At the end of episode 2, Jayden is stretched out on a table and has his arms and legs pulled off by winches - in front of his mother.
- In episode 3, Florence knocks Dr. Trinh into a woodchipper and turns it on. Hell, the scene before this is even scarier, with Florence going batshit crazy and chasing Trinh with an axe like a psychopath.
- In a surprisingly sudden kill, Seamus gets a fire poker rammed through a wall and into his eye socket. The Gentleman then twists the poker around before yanking it out for good measure. By the next episode, we see that he has been cut in half and strung up in his bedroom window, guts still hanging from his torso. All of which his young daughter sees.
- Episode 4 sees the death of Birgit, who's buried alive up to her neck. Her fate is sealed when the Gentleman digs up a heap of sand onto her head, suffocating her slowly.
- In Episode 6, Creepy Child Aphra is revealed to be much older than she looks, and much more unhinged. She chews her adopted mother's face off and eats at least one of her fingers, leading to Christy begging for a Mercy Kill from the other family members.
- The penultimate episode begins with Aphra taken into the forest by the Gentleman and ends up horrifically sawn in half with her guts spilling out.
