The Hackensack Slasher is a serial killer who terrorized Hackensack during the 1960's.
Chucky: Season 1 (2021)[]
While Chucky reminisces about his first kill, he has a flashback to his 7th birthday in 1965. Another mom at the party turns the radio on, where an alert is warning the townsfolk that there is a mass murderer in Hackensack, and he killed two more people that day. The newscaster urges everyone not to go out alone at night.
That night, Charles wakes up and goes downstairs to see the murderer had broken into their house and stabbed his father Peter to death. His mother Elizabeth grabs his hand and runs with him into his bedroom. They hide together in her closet, but the killer follows behind shortly after. When he opens the closet door, he discovers that Charles has stabbed his mother to death in order to "help" him. Impressed by the boy's actions, the killer gives him advice that he should always cover his tracks, and wipes the blood off his pocketknife before handing it back to him. He then leaves the house, and is blamed for the deaths of both Charles' parents while the boy is sent to an orphanage for wayward boys.
