Deaths in such films are usually justified by the victims smoking dope, drinking beer, being a dick, shagging about.

Maybe the slasher killers are killing our guilt about doing all those things. Those characters get killed, our guilt dies with them, and we absolve ourselves of the guilt, or subconscious guilt, guilt we didn't even know we had? Scapegoat deaths?
