The topic is mainly to do with IPs similar to D&D and Castlevania. Neither of those licenses are particularly scary, but they could have scary moments, with a scary aesthetic, if that makes sense.

BioShock - Don't see how this isn't considered a horror game; it's terrifying.

The Boys - They could make their own Superhero Killer, but for real, Homelander makes you uncomfortable, but in a good way. I think he'd fit in.

Devil May Cry - Dmc: Devil May Cry terrified me as a kid... Jokes aside, if Bhvr's gonna add Castlevania after having Silent Hill. Two Konami properties. They could ask Capcom to give us our yin yang, Dante and Virgil.

Fallout - It has its moments. Especially with the feral ghouls. Very dark origin stories for certain enemies. The Deathclaw could be the killer, cause it makes enough sense.

Borderlands - It's full of cosmetic potential. Preferably from 1, 2 and the Telltale game. Lilith and/or Vaughn could be Survivors, the rest of the iconic characters could be a linked set or a Legendary.

Dead Rising - Capcom's OTHER zombie game; more comedy than horror. You could pick this instead Dmc. Survivors are definitely Frank West and/or Chuck Green.

Death Note - It'd be the first Anime chapter; D&D was based on a board game, I'm sure this would work.

Scary Movie - I feel like it'd be better to wait for Sidney first, but I'm fine with one or the other. Cindy, Brenda, Ray and Shorty. We got the Wazzup face, you might as well make it happen.

Scooby-Doo - Bhvr could make their own adult version of Mystery Incorporated. Be wayyy better than the Velma show. They also worked on Scooby-Doo games, so I'm sure they could try again.

Wednesday/Jenna Ortega - She's been in plenty of horror films. X, The Babysitter, SCREAM V and VI. They could do her as another celeb chapter. If not, your option is also just The Addams Family.

    Other valid options could be Zombieland, Arkham's Batman, DOOM, CoD: Zombies, whatever you want. Feel free to include a concept of it in the comments.

    Castlevania is horror though, as it is officially categorized as gothic horror, so i don't think you can really use it as an example of something that's only horror theme'd.

    It not being scary to you doesn't mean it isn't horror as scary is subjective.

    Dead space, bioshock, F.E.A.R, and from the other options, scooby doo and scary movie would be nice

    BioShock - Don't see how this isn't considered a horror game; it's terrifying.

    In terms of crossovers/collaborations, I have a list of thing I want:

    Dont Starve (Together) ~ Survivor: Wilson

    • Just a simple idea for a character. I was thinking of they do a Dont Starve (Together) collaboration, they could maybe have the Survivor have a static effect kind of like the DS(T) art style, it would overall make the character(s) feels more unique compared to other collaborations.
    • Also Wilson is just an obvious pick.

    Warframe ~ Killer: Zealiod Prelate, alternatively The Glass Maker | Survivor: Nora Night

    • Warframe is not really a full on "horror" game but it does have some horror themes. The Infested is really leaning towards the horror aspect so I think the Zealiod Prelate would fit the best for the game visually.
    • Also the Glass Maker is a good alternative, since they were a serial killer that would turn their victims into glass or Cephalons using an ancient blade. Nora Night is the final girl of the Glass Maker's story, with Nora living while the Glass Maker was forced to turn to glass by his own blade.

    Lethal Company ~ Survivor: Crew Member

    • I dont think I need to elaborate.

    The Binding Of Issac ~ Charm: Issac, also The D6

    • I dont think Issac would work as a character inside the game so this is the best I could come up with.

    GTFO ~ Killer: Scout

    • Okay, I actually have a fun idea for this one. Imagine a Killer where they cannot actually see anything. They roam around and rely on tentacles to feel the environment to sense things.
    • I want this Killer to be simple, an M1 Killer, the map is visually a black and white, grid and outline-based environment for them, past a certain range, they cannot see anything, they are unable to see Survivors but can constantly detect their location with a certain range.
    • If a player comes too close to them, they can enter a fury where they recover from hits faster but get stunned for longer.
    • Very anti-stealth focus and dedicated on tracking up close while removing their visibility from far away.

    Just my ideas.

    Fallout has so many characters to choose from, either as survivor or killer!

    For survivor, Lucy MacLean would be the most recognisable and recent, but there are other characters that can be used such as Three Dog, Craig Boone, Nick Valentine, Veronica Santangelo... even the idea of Preston Garvey running around declaring "Another band of survivors needs my help" amuses me (perhaps the only survivor who thinks this hellscape would be heaven!).

    As for killers, there are so many! Frank Horrigan, Deathclaws, Ulysses, Legate Lanius, Dr. Klien, Father Elijah, Nightkin, etc. Just so many!

    The only thing would be I don't think the player protagonist would be used, because of the fact there is no set appearance due to customisation.
