Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slasher Play at none against Horror Classics Channel's 2. Slasher Play also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months). Horror Classics Channel's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
