Blood and secrets permeate new series Slasher
“When you grow up in a small town, everybody knows each other’s weird business. There’s a lot of weird stuff that goes on in small towns that you don’t hear about because they’re small, but they can be just as weird as big cities.

Erin Karpluk Ventures Into New Territory on ‘Slasher’
“The town has really turned their back on Heather, and she’s become this reclusive, secluded, mentally unstable person.

A conversation with Slasher creator Aaron Martin
“It’s like Broadchurch meets a slasher movie. There are a bunch of mysteries going on in Waterbury. The town’s a bit weird. Everyone has a secret, so they’re all dying because they’ve done something bad according to the executioner and his warped moral view. Everybody who dies has a reason for being killed. They’re not just killed indiscriminately.” Continue reading.
