ZOMBIE FILM RULES - Zombie (1979)

SLASHER FILM RULES - Alien

"Don't worry Parker, you'll get whatever's coming to you" ~ Lt Ripley.

The xenomorph from Alien (1979) isn't a guy with a knife/machette/power tool chasing scantily clad teens, but it is a single killer taking out a small number of victims in a very remote, confided space.  So, given that it vaguely fits the genre, does it follow the rules?
