    Pinhead would be really great... summon objects to block survivors or trip them up, and have hooks come out of the ground and split them apart as a mori.

    Hannibal is another one I'd really like to see. The mori would be making the survivors eat their brains, bajahahah

    Forgot about Krampus or Jack the Ripper.

    Ginosaji. 

    The leprechaun.

    The monsters from The Feast. Would have a pretty killer level, too.

    The Angry Princess 


    Old Gregg! Would have a pretty killer level, and could be the first killer/survivor terror because he has one of the most killer feared pieces of equipment as his natural anatomy.

    @homeslice i like your list but id really like to see a Ghostface would work really well he could be modelled after billy and stu. Where you could like camouflage as another survivor on the map and then get out of line of sight and appear as the killer? Or maybe have a killer marker on the ground like the hag has and be able to swap between mulitple spots on the map. Idk i have a ton of great ideas for that one though haha

    can't do jeepers creepers cause the creator is a criminal or something like that.

  • WaharaWahara Member Posts: 215

    My vote would go to Candyman.

  • George_SorosGeorge_Soros Member Posts: 2,270

    I still want Godzilla or King Kong.

    Jason would be highly unlikely, he has a game and it’s basically DBD’s (albeit outgunned) competition in the killer game arena. I think Chucky would be a NIGHTMARE in a good way, lots of possibilities. Pyramid Head would also likely be out unless they got a license from Konami, but more importantly I think him and Pumpkinhead are just too damn big. Candyman could be cool as well. I don’t imagine, from a strictly lore perspective, that Pinhead or one of the xenobytes would play this game as I consider them almost Entity level demonic presence... besides, the Lament Configuration is kind of its own game, like a spider web that people fall into. The others have too many issues or they just wouldn’t contribute that movie killer vibe imo, but that’s just me.

    I personally want to see Chuckie most. I think he could work in doll form in the game and it would be a lot of fun for both sides.

    The Boogieman

    Right?! Imagine him moving like 130% speed and a smaller terror radius 😦

    I could see pyramidhead in the game as a killer... Would be fun to play against as well
  • iceman2kxiceman2kx Member Posts: 462

    Pretty much what isn't in the game already. An alien killer, an undead killer, a vampire killer, a mythical killer and a fairy tale killer.

    The crooked Man

    I'd love to see Pinhead come to Dead by Daylight.

    What about Art the Clown from All Hallows Eve and Terrifier? He/it is creepy as they come.

    How about the real urban legend Purple Aki?

    I see some of these points. I think out of all of the ones listed.. The creeper would fit the best.

    The Boogieman

    What about a killer that used cabinets? Potentially popping out and grabbing people. Kind of like a Boogeyman situation?
  • DemonDaddyDemonDaddy Member Posts: 1,491
    Wishmaster or Slenderman would be cool


  • ArkLovecraftArkLovecraft Member Posts: 4

    Hannibal Lecter would be great, but my vote goes for the Mads Mikkelsen version: a gentleman in a fancy suit running after you with a kitchen knife.

    ...and a cool alternate costume would be the wendigo (the dark horned man who sees Will Graham in his visions).

    Both of them are better for me than the Anthony Hopkins version: a respectable man dressed like a prisoner with an anti-bite half-mask.

    I do think a Killer that could utilize the lockers to spy on people and pop out would be awesome 😎

    But once you know which killer it is those cabinets would become pointless no? :)

    I don’t think so, some generators are in rooms literally filled with them... I would find that kind of nerve wracking. I’m not talking gingerly sneaking out of the locker like a Survivor either, I’m talking quick and explosive. Imagine you’re nearby and the heartbeat goes away and you misinterpret that as the Killer moving away but actually the locker gives him innate Insidious type stealth, you go to work on that gen all of a sudden BOOM he’s on top of you. I also imagine the unlucky Survivor that chooses your locker to hide in gets an instant interrupt, same as finding someone in reverse. I don’t think it would work as the only ability, round it out with a minor ability for when you’re on the move, but you get the idea.

    I still think that The Tank from the Left 4 Dead series could be made possible.
    Now i know the devs don't want regular zombies in their game, but not a single person in L4D is actually a zombie.
    Instead, they're all infected.
    Yup, there's a difference.

    I figure that The Tank would be able to break thrown-down pallets with a melee attack rather than the regular "Break pallet" interaction, allowing him to move on faster.

    His Power, unsurprisingly, would be to grab a big rock from the ground...
    (It doesn't have to look pretty, cause trust me, on maps like The Game & Lery's, it's not gonna.)
    ...and throw it at Survivors.
    It would deal double damage, but it renders the Tank immobile during the grabbing and throwing animations.
    Of course, you'd be able to move again after the animation is over, even if the rock hasn't hit anything yet.
