    No because no one except americans knows who he is. Just the name sounds so childish, or perhaps like an adult who "loves" children. No don't want him.

    Yes, I really want to see a bee-based power and potential chase music being his whispers.

    i didn’t know him or his films before DbD speculations, but just from those speculations i see big potential and that he is a valid request for DbD (And definitely not bland at all)

    I always kind of hoped for a voodoo man like in The Serpent and the Rainbow. It’s not slasher horror but a horror all it’s own but I don’t think it would really work for DBD

    that movie scared the hell of me as a kid.

    So, in that case Mick Taylor should be added and a lot of people aren't cultured for knowing a cult classic Australian horror film.

    I go through a LOT of horror media, and Candyman has come up once in about 15 years for me.


    It's the same argument as WORLD series baseball only having American teams.

    I also don't see how a psychological horror character works in a more action/slasher focused title like DbD. Pig was a stretch with the body horror and stealthy kidnappings playing the part for the game, but I always felt that the SAW franchise was more about the ideology and psychology. Well, it was for the first 3 films anyway.

    He would definitely fit the DBD universe, a lot more than Chucky or Xenomorph.

    I'd rather have grudge/the ring before candyman. Much more iconic in my opinion

    I trust in behaviour to make him look cool however I wouldn’t be hyped.

    I didnt know who he was until people wanted him in DBD for chapter 16... then I watched the movie and it was... really meh at best.

    I would actually prefer Springtrap or Slender to Candyman.

    I think Candyman would be great killer to have in the game.
