I'm cool with slasher masks. Honestly, to complete the effect we'd really just need some other means of killing people than csabers and blunt implements. Maybe Csaber skins. I dunno. Who knows.
Anyway a dedicated rampage antag sounds cool for about five seconds and then suddenly isn't when you put it into gameplay context. Besides, you can buy stimulants as a traitor.

I honestly think it would work better as an NPC that can accidentally be teleported on the station. Like it looks like a normal rando crewman like Bill or Father Ted, until it decides to aggro and immediately slashes the closest person. Like a mimic but for people.

Maybe we could use something similair to those NPC staff assistants who are basically indistinguishable from the real thing

on second thought, maybe a whole month is a bit much and would risk getting repetitive too quickly, but at least a few days to a week leading up to and including halloween

We already have a bunch of horror slasher film killers (even more if you count floor cluwne and unique ones admins come up for a round). They show up so rarely I'm not surprised people don't know about them.
It's a vicious cycle though, if they don't show up people complain and when they do show up and kill, people whine (even if it's a button that says "DO NOT PUSH OR THE KILLER WILL GET YOU").
