S/O Dev & Marketing Team for the approach on the new killer

I took about 10 months away from the game so I am excited see next killer.

When have they ever dropped red herrings?

And we do have solid evidence. Every single piece of evidence points to the Candyman. There is no single piece of evidence that doesn't point to him. If you don't get that, either you don't know the character or you're just in denial.

Well, I asked you a question so you could solidify your position. If that's not something you can/want to do, that's OK.

It's more the fact they leaked it was a licensed chapter. I'm happy we don't know the killer ahead of time for once, makes it exciting.

The question of when they've used red herrings is because one side (mine) takes prior evidence of their behavior into account, whereas the others literally have to make up "Sure, they never used red herrings before, but this time they totally did!" to justify their assertions. Occam's razor, people. It's not rocket science.

Oh I agree that Orion had Candyman stuck far too deep in his head and can't see anything else. But if I can get him to actually explain his evidence, then there would a real debate instead of the normal "Im right, you're wrong!" crap.

For me. I dug my heels into the Killer being Gillman, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, or something closely related it. Made a topic explaining why some days back but it just never gained traction with other folks. The difference between my Gillman theory and his Candyman theory is that I can fully explain my reasoning and thoughts behind it being Gillman. I even took the time to explain every detail in the teaser (minus the skulls) and every detail fit Gillman.

The font of the 4, why it goes to the bottom of the image, why only 2 colors used, why gold and black, the textures of the background, and more. This poster sums it all up near perfectly.

The more I look at the teaser, the more solid my belief is that it is Gillman.

The killer they wanted most in the game has always been Jason Voorhees, if you ask me the only Horror Icon that could deliver the unthinkable would be him.

Personally, it makes no sense for it to be anyone other than Candyman right now.

He popularized what I would call the "Bloody Mary" types of movies, where a character unleashes a great evil into their world unexpectedly because they didn't believe in an urban legend.

There would be no reason for BHVR staff to talk about bees and sweets other than to bait that it is indeed Candyman, and sure, it could possibly be actually a Red Herring, but that wouldn't explain why...

The Forum right now looks Black and Gold. Honey Coloured Gold at that. Not to mention the 4, at least to me, is reminiscent of Candyman's hook from the poster of the new movie.

And speaking of that, Candyman's new trailer just dropped, so it would make financial and marketable sense to promote his latest movie with his inclusion in Dead by Daylight.

There is too many circumstantial evidence that points at him that it's hard to ignore. I personally would want him over Pennywise or Xenomorph being a massive horror buff myself.

I personally don't want Pennywise *as is* because he conflicts with the lore of the Entity, and I wouldn't really get hyped over Xenomorph purely because I don't consider the Alien movies to really be a Slasher Horror. Demogorgon gets a pass because it at least has the Slasher Aesthetic with Stranger Things being set in the 80s, which is when most classic Slashers happened.

But this is basically the whole "Blyeth in Smash" nonsense for the DBD community, whoever it is, I just want them to make sense to exist in the world of Dead by Daylight.

Excuse me.

Teaser? I wasn't made aware there was actually a released Teaser yet.

To me that teaser says almost nothing about the potential Killers that could be added into the game other than the fact that it has Honey Coloured Gold and Black Ooze coming out of a Black Skull.

Unless you're implying the Black Ooze means a Xenomorph which wouldn't make sense, at least from what I recall, Xenomorph ooze is Green, not Black. Even then how would that explain the Honey Coloured Gold splattered all over the place?

I don't think it's Jason because those two colours and skull has never really been associated with him.

Same reason why I don't think it's Pennywise.

The only Killer that I can stretch it out for it to say something about is Candyman, but that is purely because there was a mural in the Candyman trailer that kinda looks like the one we see on the Forums right now with a Skull looking upwards, and again, the Honey Coloured Gold splatter all over the place.

Which would you think it is? 😂

That was all we had for the 3rd year teaser and people figured out we was getting Ghostface by looking at the font used for the 3, the colors used throughout the image, and the materials/textures used for the font/background.

This year it is the same deal. We have to use the 4th year's image to figure out who the next Killer is. And ONLY that image.

It should be safe to ignore the skulls. There has been 3 skulls shown so far, and all 3 fit perfectly into DbD's tally mark logo. Im 99% certain that those was added after the fact to be a diversion. The original teaser didn't even have a skull and I think this is where it was first shown.

If the skulls was important to the new Killer. Why make a version of the teaser without the skulls? These devs have made several mistakes in coding the game, but they aren't so inept to have their original teaser be missing a skull if it was important.

Them being made of gold and oozing blackness can also be ignored. They already oozed in the tally mark logo so that is worthless as a teaser, but the gold is likely just an artistic flare to reflect the teaser having gold.

As for honey and it's golden color. I just don't see the teaser showing honey itself. The 4 has perfectly sharp edges and the gold in the background are in and out of focus. Honey itself is VERY thick/gooey and extremely sticky. No way in hell you can make the shape of that 4 with it and the background gold. It they was more blob like, yeah I can see it being honey. But not with it being that clean and in so small of parts. Pollen as well is s different shade of yellow to gold and is a powder. Maybe the background gold could be pollen, but not the 4 itself. And as for the 4 looking like a hook. Not seeing that either. Not with the horizontal line crossing so much over the vertical line. A hook shape would be to have the horizontal line stop before reaching the vertical line.

Candyman is possible. I just don't see it adding up. The details don't match well enough in my opinion.

I still think Candyman is the most possible candidate purely because of all the circumstantial evidence surrounding him, I just cannot see it being Jason because he is in legal hell, I cannot see it being Pennywise because his character conflicts with the Entity, unless he is a completely new Pennywise that is different to the ones we see in IT, not to mention Stephen King is very wary of his properties in the hands of other creators, I don't see it being Xenomorph, the teaser you showed me yourself is not reminiscent of anything from the Alien series, not to mention, unlike Demodoggy, the Xenomorph would look rather out of place in the rogues gallery of characters that DBD has, I also don't see it being Pinhead because nothing we have been shown points to it possibly being him, LeaksByDaylight possibly eluded to the fact it might be him but they aren't exactly the most reliable source of information given how much they've changed their stance for this killer alone.

I'm never dissapointed with any character thats added because I feel they'd be added eventually anyways. I'm still under the firm believe it's a RE chapter, alternative is aliens or jason.

Here is the clincher for a lot of people:

"The Killer is an Iconic Genre-Defying Killer."

So of course people will assume it's one of the classic slashers, people will assume it's Pennywise, Jason, Xenomorph, even possibly the Deadites from Ash vs Evil Dead.

Because of that one line right there.

I think it's Candyman because while he isn't exactly genre-defying to a lot of people, his first movie was rather groundbreaking for a pre-Scream Horror movie.

I won't tell you if your right or not but your answer may be hidden in the question below 😏

If you know a P3 leatherface has iron grasp and agitation, do you expect insidious?
