Only black slasher? Yes.

First black boogeyman? No.

You also have the Black Devil Doll. In both incarnations.

Yes. Any other suggestions wouldn't really be of the prominent, series-driving villainous caliber. It's strange. Maybe filmmakers hesitate to use an African American actor as a true slasher villain due to the widely promulgated American belief that African Americans are mostly slasher villains?

While certainly not in the same league as the Candyman- or even the same category- isn't Victor Crowley (of Hatchet" fame) faintly ethnic?
