History Main / HockeyMaskAndChainsaw

* A Sergio Aragones strip in ''MADMagazine'' has a bunch of hockey-playing kids inviting a man with a hockey mask and a duffel bag to play with them. He reaches into his duffel bag and pulls out a chainsaw.

This is largely a CompositeCharacter between two of the most famous {{Slasher Flick}}s killers: Jason of ''Film/{{Friday The 13th}}'' and Leatherface of ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre''.

* Vincent Valentine's Hell Masker {{Limit|Break}} in ''FinalFantasyVII''.

* In ''{{Splatterhouse}}'', Rick wears a hockey mask and can sometimes use a chainsaw. In sequels, the mask was redesigned to look more like a skull, but the similarities to Jason's signature mask were still pretty apparent.

* One of the homicidal sprites in ''KidRadd'' fit this description.

* In an episode of ''{{Charmed}}'', Phoebe was tormented by a recurring nightmare about a chainsaw-wielding murderer wearing a hockey mask. She thought it was a manifestation of Cole. [[spoiler: It turned out that it stood for a metaphor of her self-harming behavior]].

While it might seem like a case of DidNotDoTheResearch getting more [[LostInImitation known than the original work]], even the people who know a lot about horror films use this trope, so that's not the case. Aside from the explanation above, it's likely just a of CaptainErsatz of Serial Slasher, since none of them are [[PublicDomainCharacter in the public domain]].

PopCulturalOsmosis interpretation of a SlasherFlick serial killer: a big guy wielding chainsaw and wearing a hockey mask. Enormously common in parodies and tributes of the genre.

Besides being a CompositeCharacter between two of the most known {{Slasher Flick}}s killers (Jason of ''Film/{{Friday The 13th}}'' and Leatherface of ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre''), it has a lot in common visually with other Slasher Killers as well, like [[{{Film/Halloween}} Michael Myers]] and JeepersCreepers.

Jason of ''Film/{{Friday The 13th}}'' had a hockey mask. Leatherface of ''TheTexasChainsawMassacre'' had a chainsaw. For some reason, references to SlasherFlick killers often have both. This might seem like DidNotDoTheResearch, but this seems to be done by people who actually know about horror films. So it's likely just a CaptainErsatz, since neither character is [[PublicDomainCharacter in the public domain]].
