The Executioner (Slasher)

"Executioner: We all sin. Everyday of our lives, we sin. Taking the Lord's name in vain, that's a sin everyone commits. However, I only kill those who deserve to die. Allison: Even if God himself commanded thou shall not kill? Executioner: Thou shall not kill the innocent. My victims were not innocent."

- The Executioner's interview with Allison Sutherland.

The Executioner is a fanatic serial killer and the main antagonist of the first season of the 2016 anthology horror TV show Slasher. Originally, The Executioner was a scorned pastor named Tom Winston, but his double murder would go on to inspire the crimes of a copycat thirty years later.

He was portrayed by Patrick Garrow and Steve Byers.

The Original Executioner
Tom Winston was a pastor for Waterbury Church, who sought to help bring an end to the crime and corruption of Waterbury, Canada. However, that all would change when he fell in love with Rachel Ingram and the two had sex. Unbeknownst to him, Rachel, her husband Brian, and their friend Alan Henry were producing and selling porn, something Tom was against. A camera recorded him and Rachel having sex, and they used this tape to blackmail the pastor into leaving their industry alone.

Disgusted and heartbroken, on Halloween night, he dressed up as an executioner and murdered Brian and scarred Alan. Then he unmasked himself to an injured Rachel, who told him that she was pregnant with his baby. In response to this, Tom cut the baby out of her stomach and sat in a rocking chair, holding his daughter as the police arrived. He was sentenced to life in prison.

The New Executioner
Thirty years later, when Sarah Bennett returned to Waterbury with her husband, Dylan, a new Executioner started a series of brutal murders, supposedly continuing what Tom Winston started.

With help from the original Executioner, Sarah is able to figure out all the victims' secrets, before eventually becoming a target herself. When she and Tom are kidnapped and she is about to be sawed in half for pride, Tom sacrifices himself so the Executioner spares his daughter.

The real Executioner frames Sarah's husband by planting a box of murder trophies in his house. With Dylan arrested, Sarah finds comfort in her friend and the police deputy, Cam Henry. However, when she finds a picture of Cam holding a drawing that looks similar to the ones found in The Executioner's lair, she investigates his house and finds the cut up remains of his father. Now, certain that Cam's the true killer, she lures him outside of a party and stabs him with his own knife.

Cam pulls the knife out and slashed Sarah's shoulder with it. Now injured, Sarah runs for her life, eventually ending up at her house. Dylan shows up and tries to fight with Cam, before being knocked out. Sarah tries to escape, but Cam knocks her down and stabs her in the shoulder. Cam then cuddles up to Sarah and talks about the first time he saw her. Afterwards, he raises the knife to finish her off, but Sarah knocks him down with her Grandma's urn. With the roles reversed, Sarah picks up the knife and plunges it into his chest. Dylan wakes up and holds Cam still while Sarah stabs him four more times and finishes him off by slicing his throat.
