In the comics, it's heavily implied that Slade at least partially blames the death of his son Jericho on Raven because his involvement with her led him to be possessed by the corrupted souls of Azarath and go psycho on his teammates. Long story short, at the end of the arc, Slade had to shove his sword through his son's back to save the world. In canon, he's called her 'witch' and tried to kill her so there's definitely some issues there.
Also, as a more general response to the OP- as someone who got into the comics because of the toon, I have to say, I very much enjoyed Slade's appearances in Season 4. Demon powers and everything aside (I was actually surprised the content of this episode made it past the censors), I like that different sides of him were displayed besides the creepy villain mastermind-- the capacity to ally himself (however tentatively) with do-gooders, for instance, and his struggle to win back his own life.
As for that episode in particular: I honestly think he was high on demon powers and the fact that he wasn't dead. It was a chance to cut loose, something a controlling character like him doesn't usually do. It was probably a liberating experience, while it lasted.
All of that to say: Slade is a highly complex character, whether he's from the toon or the comic, so I hardly think restricting as a personal villain for one character does him justice. Though I do agree, Haunted is definitely one of the best episodes in the series.
ALSO: The interactions Slade and Robin had in the three-part end to the season were really fantastic. I felt like they reached a more equal standing than they had in the past, particularly in that fight scene and the subsequent dialogue.
