TORONTO — Hollywood Suite announced today it will kick off a full month of bone-chilling horror films and thrillers this October with the exclusive Canadian broadcast premiere of horror anthology series Slasher: Flesh & Blood on Oct. 4.
Season four of the Slasher series, which stars legendary director and actor David Cronenberg (The Fly, Videodrome), will roll out with two new episodes airing each Monday in October at 9 p.m. ET on Hollywood Suite’s 2000s channel.

Hollywood Suite and series producer Shaftesbury are hosting an invite-only sneak preview of Slasher: Flesh & Blood at the Ontario Place drive-in in Toronto in late September, according to a press release.
“The new season of Slasher follows a wealthy, dysfunctional family that gathers for a reunion on a secluded island only to learn they will be pitted against one another in a cruel game of life and death, all while being stalked by a mysterious masked killer,” the press release reads.
The eight-episode fourth season features previous series cast members including Paula Brancati, Jefferson Brown, Patrice Goodman, Sabrina Grdevich and Christopher Jacot. Joining the cast are Rachel Crawford (Heartland), Jeananne Goossen (The Walking Dead), Sydney Meyer (Departure) and Alex Ozerov (The Americans).
“The Slasher franchise has built a loyal fanbase of devoted horror fans, and we are thrilled to bring the incredible fourth season to Canadian audiences to kick off our month-long celebration of premium horror fare,” said Sharon Stevens, vice-president of programming at Hollywood Suite, in the press release.
