1''Slashers'' is an [[AsymmetricMultiplayer asymmetrical]] horror game mode for ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' created by Utopia-Games. In the gamemode, one randomly selected player plays as one of many horror icons from the likes of [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]], [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]], and more while the rest (up to a maximum of 9) play as survivors. The survivors must collect a few (around 3-2) of the jerrycans scattered across the map, find and activate the generator, radio the police, wait for the police to arrive and then run to them to escape while the killer tries to kill them. Every killer and survivor have their own unqiue perks and abilities to help them slaughter or survive.

26!!This game mode provides examples of:
27
28* AllStereotypeCast: All the survivors represent some stereotypical slasher film archetypes. See above.
29* AxeBeforeEntering: The killer can destroy any openable doors by hitting it until it breaks with their weapon, although they can just open it unless Rolland locks it with his keys.
30* BearTrap: [[Film/YoureNext The Intruder's]] ability is to place a few of these along with tripwire alarms.
31* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Rolland's title is explictly this, but it can be [[AvertedTrope averted]] if Rolland isn't killed off first or manages to escape.
32* ChristmasEpisode: Lodge, a snowy mountain lodge covered in Christmas decorations, map of [[Film/YoureNext The Intruder]].
33* EnemyDetectingRadar: Noah's unique ability is an ''VideoGame/AlienIsolation''-style radar device. However, the device tracks both survivors and the killer with no way to tell which it was, meaning [[ParanoiaFuel you won't know if that dot on the radar approaching around the corner is just another survivor or the killer]].
34* FinalGirl: Sydney is based off this trope, her ability also helps out in helping her become one via making her immune to the killer's main ability, but it can be [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] if she dies before she can escape.
35* HalloweenEpisode: Selvage, a suburban neighborhood covered in Halloween decorations, map of [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]].
36* InnateNightVision: Marty's perk is his enhanced vision, allowing him to see better in the dark, reducing the need for the flashlight.
37* InfiniteFlashlight: The survivors' flashlights never run out of battery, but it is better left off unless in really dark areas, since it gives away your location if the killer manages to spot the light.
38* SinisterSubway: Subway, an abandoned subway covered in graffiti warning of a faceless entity, map of [[VideoGame/SlenderTheArrival The Proxy]].
