Xtra Hot: The Halloween Slasher

'Clothing is a hindrance. I prefer the blood of my victims'

Name: Gary Major, aka The Halloween Slasher Age: Unknown Sign: Pisces

Gary, or The Halloween Slasher for the purposes of this special edition of Xtra Hot, was born and raised in various sanitoriums and released due to budget cuts. He says he’d love to take Jack the Ripper out for lunch to “pick his brain — literally!” His favourite places to hang out are at the Village’s annual Halloween Block Party and the After Dark Film Festival. The best advice he ever received was to “wear gloves,” and when asked what his favourite piece of clothing is, he says, “Clothing is a hindrance. I prefer the blood of my victims.”
