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

This is largely a CompositeCharacter between two of the most famous SlasherMovie killers: Jason of ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' and Leatherface of ''Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre''.

While it might seem like a case of pure carelessness, even the people who know a lot about horror films use this trope, so that's not the case. It's just as likely just a CaptainErsatz of Serial Slasher, since none of them are [[PublicDomainCharacter in the public domain]].

Common reference of a SlasherMovie serial killer: a big guy wielding chainsaw and wearing a hockey mask. Enormously common in parodies and tributes of the genre.
