User blog comment:Jose alfredox17/Do Some Splatter Villains Count Like Slasher Villains/@comment-4378986-20150626000215

to my knowledge splatter and slasher films cross over exceptionally and are both forms of body horror.. splatter is simply a more wild, exploitive version of a slasher which focuses on gore (slashers are gore but focus more on death rather than the actual mutilation).

so a splatter villain is a subtype of a slasher villain, more or less.
