What classic killers are missing?
So looking at the roster of killers we currently have, it’s definitely a versatile bunch, but who do you think is missing? Off the top of my head I’d say a werewolf, vampire and something water related? I’m not sure how any of these killers could be added and what their abilities would be, so maybe you guys have some ideas?

Candyman.

Jason but there's an obvious reason for that

I was about to say the exact same thing, shame about the game because I was looking forward to Jason X even if the movie sucked.

I’m almost certain he’s coming this year or early next and I can’t wait.

I’d love Jason in the game because he’s a horror icon, but how would he work? Considering Trapper is the low budget version, what could his ability be? Maybe some sort of teleportation and being able to throw knives? But that could be too similar to what his powers were in his own game.

That is a very good point, I feel like Jason having his own game with his own rules works better because he has multiple powers.

Can’t believe I forgot about Xenomorph. It must be hard to add new killers without making them carbon copies of existing ones. For example, Demogorgon works exactly how a werewolf would work (minus the portals) - so I sometimes feel like some of the stuff we want, can’t actually be added. :(

He’ll make the world taste good.

For licensed killers
- Xenomorph
- Predator
- Pinhead
- Jason
- Chucky
For non-licensed
- Mummy
- Zombie
- Yeti/Bigfoot
- Shapeshifter

I think the Zenomorph would be a better fit than Predator, but I do love the Predator and hope he's added to the roster I don't find him scary but DBD has a way of making most characters creepy
So Predator and Chucky would be my two picks hopefully they'd go for Tiffany also.

I want Joan Ferguson from Prisoner! This Candyman person is unknown outside USA so better to have a character from a tv-series known in many countries.
But I'm fine with them just making their own killers rather than using some famous ones.

Is that a joke or are you really that ignorant? I’m from England and I’ve known about Candyman for years. I also know plenty of other people that do as well. If you’re into horrors, you should know exactly who he is.
Side note, who the heck is Joan Ferguson? 🙊

Honestly I think if they made an older adaptation of Alice from Alice, sweet Alice she'd be a great classic edition.

I already made a post describing this power but let me find it
Too lazy to find it so ill remake the post
Jason has 2 abilities
His first is wrathful sprint he rushes so fast you cannot see him or hear him but the same goes for you
he moves at 300% and his ability lasts 5 seconds but he cannot see or hear survivors, and you hear "kill them all jason" when this fully charges
this ability is available at the start of the match and has a cooldown of 120 seconds
His second is called revenge of the fallen, where he remembers his purpose
every 60 seconds he gains one stack, each stack lasts for 20 seconds. In these 20 seconds when hit by a pallet he can
A walk through it in 1.5 seconds and lose 2 stacks or
B block and break the pallet taking 3 seconds and lose one stack
he moves at 110% while in this state

People say that is their any proof to these claims. Also know one knows who none of the Dead by Daylight characters are and people love them,if it's the case which I don't think it is I'm sure Candyman would be accepted as a hallerfamer into the Dead by Daylight roster.

Willy Wonka is totally the next killer

If I were to go completely Original Killer concepts, here are some Ideas!
The Maid: Trap based Killer that creates Fake Hatches (Trap Doors) in which she can not only teleport to; but also Capture Survivors that triggered them with a Slave Collar and Chain that ensnare them; slow them down in place and they have to run and flee away before they can get hit by the Maid! She is kinda of a Mix of Trapper and Hag; but has a slow movement speed; spread 8 of her traps, and used a Sharpen Broom Stick as her weapon! She floats and teleports to only her traps; the traps can be deceiving and look like the Black Lock the hatch!

Xenomorph would probably be the only licensed one that I would like to see. Plenty of non-licensed killers that they could put their twist on. Werewolf, grim reaper, vampire, mummy, and maybe some type of devil.

I want Candyman sooo bad. I’d imagine his chase music being the classic piano theme with a twist

I love the xenomorph and predator but dont see how either one could work in game and stay true to the movies. The aliens regular running speed would be like the hillbilly sprinting chainsaw move. I think between that and being able to climb/crawl on about every surface is to much work. If you leave all that out then hes more like Pumpkinhead...which I believe is way more fitting for the game.😁
As for the predator it would be almost the same but worse. If he had no weapons/gadgets then his speed and jumping/climbing would be hard to work with . Gameplay wise like this could be kinda boring but with his weapons he would be unique. Well unique and pretty op. I mean imagine sitting there hiding in the dark while the predator just sights in on you with his shoulder cannon because he can see in infrared.

A giant shark from Jaws, or that movie of swarms of murderous crows.

Pamela Voorhees.
Just, truly, an amazing killer.

that died after one movie

Jason, hes the only member of the slashstreet boys we don't have.
Some other iconic licences we're lacking are:
Stephen King (Hes too big for the game to be entirely complete without some form of his work)
Alien (We are sorely lacking licensed scifi killers and Alien is most well known.)

Technically true.

I think they could do Terminator.
They've already gotten the license once for Deathgarden, getting it for their actually successful game should be a breeze.

1) Jason

Off the top of my head, we are missing a medieval killer, robotic killer, and aquatic killer.

Tbh not a lot of people know about candyman I'd say significantly less than hellraiser and even he is fringe
