Why the Killer is Jason
- First, lets look at who the "BIG" licensed killers are... Jason, Pinhead, Candyman, Alien, It and Chucky.
- First killer we can definitely eliminate is Chucky, he would be extremely unpleasant to play as because all you would see is grass the entire match (Imagine Pig being crouched and that is all you would see all match, but even closer to the ground). Not to mention the hooking animation. Technically, Chucky would be impossible to implement.
Now Look at the clues...
- Candyman - There have been numerous clues the Devs have teased about Candyman. Bees and Candy teases, Color of Splash Artwork, skull on the forums page. This has been the most teased killer.
- Pinhead - This was just teased by Matt in a tweet about 2 "Simons"
- It - Has been teased by the "Postcard" in the mobile version of the game. Also I think the Dev's followed and unfollowed Stephen King recently.
- Alien - Sounds were teased by the Devs with Alien sounds.
So, we know the Devs have been throwing Red Herrings everywhere. However, there's hasn't been a single tease for Jason from Friday the 13th. Is that not EXTREMELY unusual. Literally the biggest name in horror slasher villains and they haven't teased Jason from Friday the 13th AT ALL. That is beyond unusual, with all the red herrings they're throwing out, they haven't thrown out a single one about Jason.
- I think the clue is what ISN'T getting teased, not what is getting teased.

I hope it is, but the Entity took most of my hope.

"However, there's hasn't been a single tease for Jason from Friday the 13th. Is that not EXTREMELY unusual."
I don't see any sort of tease for The Trunchbull. Very suspicious...🤔

It's actually a good point.
I will be very happy and totally shocked if Jason is the big reveal.

You do realize you left out allllll the classic characters right? Dracula, Wolfman, mummy, creature from BL, Frankenstein, etc. My $ is on one of them. Time for a change, and a different style killer too. Jason definitely will not be anything new. Just a quick cashgrab

I don't mind all the old Hammer Horrors etc, but I would be really disappointed if it turns out to be one of those guys.
I bet there would be bloody uproar on here! 😂

It's going to be someone that nobody would of predicted

Why? Dracula or Nosferatu would be awesome, and I'm sure it would be done Gothic style. The mummy would be cool and could get an ability to hide in lockers and give good jump scares. Creature from BL would be terrifying, Holy ######### would SWAMP THING be awesome. I don't understand why people would get mad. They were happy with a stranger Things chapter... 😂

Implementing Chucky would NOT be impossible. It would just require extra work or thought.

I've been WAITING for actual classic horror. Creature from black lagoon, nosferatu, mummy, etc. I'm surprised they havent yet considering theres basically no copyright issues.

I wouldn't mind seeing a wolfman/werewolf.
0 -
Because the Devs said this would be a licensed killer.

Ummmm so are all the ones I named?! 😂😂😂

Wait a minute. I think I know the killer who hasn't been teased at all but is a classic horror villain. Its obviously him at this point. He would blend in perfectly on some maps
Its 100% killer sofa

We can only hope!

Isn't Jason just The Trapper. Looks the same

Wasn't the first tease about a new killer linked to the lore of Wolfman?
0 -
Ya i feel like chucky wouldnt be impossible...you would have to do it different where the killer is charles lee ray and there is good guy dolls all around the map that he could possess and kinda go from there.

I have honestly no idea.

Nope. Most of those are public domain.

Of the "BIG" name licensed Killers, you have to admit it's very odd EVERY SINGLE one of them was teased this past month except for Literally the biggest licensed killer of all of them. I mean they even teased Alien and Alien doesn't even fit the DBD theme. Yet Crickets with Jason.
Come on, if you're throwing red herrings everywhere, why would you not throw a red herring for Jason, unless it was Jason.
2 -
I could be wrong, but, um, doesn't universal own most there rights?
0 -
No, they are all public domain, except for Swamp Thing which is owned by DC.
Now the interesting thing is, if the Devs went with Bela Lugosi's Dracula, then DBD would need to get the license from the Lugosi family, to use his likeness. But it's because the actor's image is not public domain, Dracula is public domain. Same for wolfman, mummy, creature from the black lagoon.

Only their specific interpretations are. Otherwise, no.
Guy above me explained way better. Bram Stokers Dracula is public domain, as is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Wolfmen are folklore. Mummies are folklore + reality. Mermen as well. So none of those are peotectable.
However, Dracula as say, the Castlevania version or the Mummy from the newer movie ARE protected, in terms of their visual presentation. So they couldn't add one in Dbd that looked too much like those without trouble. CV may be a bad example, as I'm not super familiar, and if he's just a dude in a cape, then there's not enough to protect. Maybe say Alucard from Hellsing, he has a unique look.

I'm really confused why there are so many people who didn't understand why it was impossible to be Jason.

Hope is wasted on the hopeless.
