Slasher killers aren't monsters in a literal sense, they're just horrible humans. I also take issue with the fact that you say that Renfield and Igor, disabled human characters (mental illness and a physical deformity being the main characteristic they're associated with) should qualify as monsters.

Restrictions birth creativity, and in all honesty there isn't much restriction in the vast vast world of monsters. There's folklore, cryptozoology, horror and fantastical bestiaries, with variations throughout every single culture and time period. Not to mention the many many twists on a monster you could use to make fun references to whatever you want to pay homage to. If I'm being frank, I feel like you're only limited because you haven't looked hard enough.
