Which killer gives you immediate goosebumps, when you look at them? Which killer you would most likely have bad dreams about? Which killer you would least want to meet in a dark alley? Who is the most scary, dreadful and menacing killer for you, judging solely by their appearance? All skins count. Powers don't count.

    None are scary but they all look pretty awesome. I have always been a huge fan of the way The Executioner looks. So not so much as scary but good looking in a murderous killer type of way. And can I just say that I appreciate how much trouble you went through to write all of this down. You even put them in similar groups according to their features. Well done.

    Doctor. I'm genuinely freaked out by how his face is contorted into a seemingly forceful smile. His cosmetics don't help in making me feel better.


    Knowing the visuals of his backstory from the rift isn't doing it either.

    I typed out a really long essay on why Doctor was the scariest, but then my browser close, and I want to die. But yeah, not even the licensed killers come anywhere close to me in terms of killer scariness, compared to The Doctor.

    It's very disquieting to turn around and see someone in a mask staring at you, so either one.

    I was close to voting Oni, but The Blight in actuality is probably the most terrifying to be chased by. I've never been chased by him bc I don't play survivor, but his entire aesthetic is mortifying even in the killer menu. His entire body leaks serums and vital juices that he once used in experiments, his ENTIRE BODY BY CANON is ENGULFED in this horrid, whatever it is at this point and it glows even in the darkest of dark. I feel like I'm being chased by a terrible mistake that's been weaponized, a monster never meant to escape a lab, yet here he is spreading dread across The Entity's realm, screaming and slashing whatever he can see through his blighted eyes. He walks in such a damaged state yet maintains normal to even tremendous speeds that no human can manage unless they like get hit while sprint bursting. His jaw hangs like it's been torn off but it maintains to be a part of him just through infected skin that barely keeps it on alone. He has literal bubbles of this godawful serum pulsing on his skin, his jaw leaks the damn thing, his eyes and skin glow that same bright warm color that's painted all over the environment he uses to hunt you down, the environment that you used to call a safe place being weaponized right behind you and all you can hear is his screaming. If I go against him ever, I'm probably going to squeal and cower in a locker.

    I won't explain why Plague is scary, it's definitely more Blight and Hag, but being chased by Plague makes me feel... kind of sad.

    She's someone who actually wanted to help people. She was more altruistic that all the survivors and she was still twisted by the Entity. It's pretty sad.

    It's the absurdity in The Executioner's shape and appearance which gets me more than the others.

    I have coulrophobia.

    Doctor would be a close second, but he's not a clown.

    The legion.

    I feel that his appearance is the most realistic to what a real life killer would wear.

    Just imagine leaving work late at night and having one or more individuals follow you, closer and closer.

    Maybe they are just normal people, or they just want to take your money or maybe they want to hurt you ...

    The Doctor is genuinely unsettling--I have to agree with the two above me, he's just on this edge of "entirely unnatural" and "horrifyingly possible."

    The Nightmare (Freddy Krueger) or The Deathslinger (Caleb Quinn)

    I definitely feel like Deathslinger is one of the scariest simply because he looks the most "human" out of everybody else, which makes it seem more likely to be real. I mean, he is the literal definition of 'dead man walking' after all.

    Though, Doc & Bubba (sorry Myers) come in 2nd and 3rd place.

    I’ve had nightmares of the doctor before :D but it was more based on his laugh and it was driving me crazy, I couldn’t get it out of my head for a few days?
