Total Drama Island
The Killer is about to attack Gwen when she thinks he is an actor.
In Hook, Line, and Screamer, Chris sets up a challenge, in which the campers have to survive a "real-life horror movie" by avoiding capture fron an escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw on the loose, who is actually Chef in disguise. Owen picks up a newspaper article, dropped by Chris and Chef as they make their escape from the island in the Boat of Losers. The article describes the psycho killer and his escape from prison.
However, as the challenge reaches its conclusion, a real psycho killer (presumably the one from the article) arrives at camp and attempts to attack Gwen in the main lodge. At first, Gwen doesn't believe that he is the real psycho killer, assuming that he is just a poorly-paid actor, and tells him to invest in a dental plan and toothpaste. The campers, Chris, and Chef all watch this live on Chris's screen in the control tent, then immediately rush to the main lodge to save Gwen from him. When everyone reaches Gwen and warns her, she quickly reacts and kicks the killer in the jaw several times to defeat him and inadvertently wins the challenge. Angered by this, he complains in a high-pitched voice, saying that he was treated much better in prison, and storms out of the main lodge. At the end of the episode, he is shown behind a bush, menacingly whispering the name of the season over and over again. Afterwards, he asks the camera crew if Gwen's repeated kicks had caused his nose to bleed.

References

- The killer parodies several famous slasher movie killers:
- Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, with his mask and the basic idea of him attacking a group of kids at a summer camp. He is also very large, and his face is very distorted, like Jason. He also uses a distant, repetitive chant like Jason, in which he repeats words over and over again such as "Duncan, Duncan, Duncan."
- Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, with his dirty apron and chainsaw.
- Due to the combination of elements from Jason and Leatherface, the killer is a representation of the popular Hockey Mask and Chainsaw trope.
- Michael Myers from Halloween, with the idea of a psychotic killer escaping from prison.
- Ben Willis from I Know What You Did Last Summer, with his hook.
