The new Myers dash would fit Ghostface better (+ suggestion for the Shape)

Both killers have a similar kit and are in needs of a buff, but honestly that new Myers lunge doesn't really fit the character at all thematically.

In the movies, Myers walks slowly and relentlessly, and appears and disappears randomly almost as if he was teleporting. I don't think giving him a Pig ambush makes justice to the character's source material.

He does need an anti-loop, but at that point I think it would be better to have Dredge and its remnant as a source of inspiration rather than the various dash killers. Take the ending of the first Halloween movie as an example: Myers is on the ground, then Laurie looks away and he's suddenly not there anymore. In terms of HOW IT LOOKS, I think his anti-loop should take more inspiration from Spirit and Dredge than Chucky and Amanda. It would be much more accurate to the movies. I leave all the balancing and mechanical stuff to other people, I'm talking solely about accuracy to the source material here.

Danny Johnson (DBD Ghostface) is not from Scream, but from the wiping animation to the references to "other Ghostfaces" in his classic skin description, it's clear his character gives some subtle nods to the movies, and the Ghostfaces in the movie LOVE to run after people. Besides Scream 5, they chase a lot, and they sprint and dash and move around 100 times more than Michael Myers. Since Danny is in desperate need of some sort of buffs, he should be the one who gets a dash-like anti-loop.

It also makes sense for Danny Johnson himself to have a dash according to DBD lore, aside from all the Scream stuff. He is described as methodical and calculated, taking his sweet time with his victims to make the kill as perfect in all the details as possible — but his tome lore goes in detail about an episode in which his victims end up making him explode into a rage that leads him to a sloppier, more "emotional" and impetuous kill. I think a small dash-like anti-loop fit would fit this character like a glove - he takes his time to follow his own ridiculously high standards of perfection, but gets eventually pushed into a fit of manic rage.

Tl;Dr: make Myers's anti-loop look like Dredge's remnant, give Ghostface the dash that Myers has in the PTB
