PLANET MOTHERFUCKER'S MOST WANTED: "MADMAN" MORDECAI MARZ

Story goes that the meanest, nastiest, and orneriest cuss in Tex-Arcana was one farmer Mordecai Marz, a man so heartless that after axe-murdering his wife and kids, he went to the roadhouse, plopped his family's heads down on the bar, and ordered a beer just as calm as you please.  The horrified patrons converged and strung him up from the ol' hangin' tree, and chopped at him with his own hatchet like a piñata until he expired...

...but the next morning, only a rope hacked clean through remained.  Marz's body was gone.

And, as everyone to their horror soon discovered, he sure wasn't dead.

—

"Madman" Marz is a brutish, shoeless, shaggy, feral hulk more beast than man, and more dead than alive; he's essentially a zombified sasquatch in overalls.  Marz is stealthy as hell, and caught only in glimpses (usually right before shredding a throat, lopping a head, or lynching a neck).  He can't speak, and only grunts and mouth-breathes.

The old Marz farmstead (which happens to be located on the most wooded fringe of Camp Killalotta....) is regarded as cursed and off-limits, and only the most foolhardy trespass there.  Even other slashers keep their distances, as they don't want to deal with the resident smelly freak and his cellar full of grody corpses.

But Marz is actually easy to avoid, as he only appears if his name is uttered above a whisper in the woods near his home, or in his abode itself.  But there's always some idiot in any given group that yells out, "MARZ, YOU DON'T SCARE ME!!!" or somesuch on a dare...

...and that just ensures the doom of everyone involved, because if he hears you, he'll come for you...

...and if he comes for you, he'll get you.  Guaranteed.

Once awakened / summoned, "Madman" Marz has the uncanny ability to home in on anyone alone. Venturing off by yourself in any capacity—going to look for your missing friend, going back to your cabin, even going to the latrine—on his turf will get you butchered.  Moreso than usual in your typical slasher scenario, even.
