Do slasher films count? I can think of a few in that subgenre.

I actually wasn't thinking of slasher films like Halloween or Friday where the killer wasn't actually dead. In terms of your question if the film presents a killer as having been killed in a film, even if he or she comes back in the next film, then for this conversation, they're dead.
I was thinking of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, BLACK CHRISTMAS, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD, URBAN LEGEND, and FEAR ISLAND, among others where the killer cleverly escapes.
The "killer escapes" variation of the slasher formula was occasionally optioned.

I don't know what I did wrong, but in any case, my apologies. I was just trying to answer the question to the best of my ability.

THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN (1977).
DRESSED TO KILL - although the killer is captured.
THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW - I'm foggy on this but seem to recall the killer still at large at the finale.

I don't think that's a stalker thriller.

Not really. There are similarities, but the reason why I started this thread is because I feel more than 90% of stalker thrillers end the same way. Slasher films can certainly be generic, but not this way.
