What killer has the best movie?

Of course this only applies to the killers that have their own movie. For me is PH with Silent Hill (first movie)

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That movie still gives me nightmares...the scene especially where the lady gets put on the hook. Makes my stomach turn.

    The immortal classic that is Halloween 1978. Its head and shoulders above the others in my opinion.

    Nightmare On Elm Street, true nightmares. No other movie scarred me like Johnny Depp's iconic blood fountain.

    I’d rank them from best to worst

    1) Halloween (the original)

    2) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)

    3) Scream (I know Ghost Face in the game isn’t technically the killer from Scream but close enough)

    4) Nightmare on Elm Street

    5) Saw (the original)

    6) Silent Hill


    And even though he’s not a killer, Ash vs the Evil Dead is amazing. 😄

    I really liked Saw, even though I don't like Pig because she's so poorly executed in the game.

    On the other hand, Ghostface is legit my favourite lorewise killer, Doc and Blight coming after, even though film related to his mask aren't pretty good. The whole idea of killer who appears to be perfectly normal, blending in society, stalking people for weeks and then attacking them when they least expect. Ghostface in Danny's persona really does have no real motif. He simply enjoys that and thinking that literally anybody could be like that, but you'll never get to expose that is chilling.

    I knew alot of people would pick halloween, I really tried to enjoy the two first movies but...errr, I thought they were very underwhelming,I didn't felt anything tbh

    This will probably be a unpopular opinion but I still think the halloween franchise is a bit overrated

    That's ok. Not everyone enjoys what's most popular or beloved. To each their own.

    The first three Saw movies are really good, I didn't see the last one tho. is it worth it?

    As someone who strongly is not a horror fan, I liked the original Halloween and loved the most recent Halloween.

    First off before answering I loved them all but here is my list and why.

    1. Nightmare- Never knew what he would do or say i loved that about him (Plus secretly always wanted my own razor glove).
    2. Ghostface - Kind of same reason but just a knife in the end like the others.
    3. Halloween - I mean it's Mike he talked or added some spice to his kills easily battling freddy for me.
    4. Texas Chainsaw - I mean it's alright I watched them and would watch a new one but would be much lower if others were in game.
    5. Everyone else - Saw/Amanda I mean my memory may be fuzzy because there were alot of saw movies in a short window but I'm pretty sure she was only in 2 of the 24 movies. IMPO silent hill movies were trash glad PH in game though. Before Jason lover come Jason is trash too what makes my top 4 also unique is awesome survivors (Nancy, Sydney, Laurie, Um crap sorry bubba but you get my point now whether or not BHVR put them in DBD don't matter that helps those killers is the rivalry they had as well. Can't just kill all the random beach dwellers got to have that superstar to get the hatch escape :)

    Honestly I like them all, but if I had to pick then I'd choose Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I loved both the original movie and the remake.

    The rest of the movies? Yeah, Halloween II was alright, not super great, but it wasn't bad.

    Halloween 3-6 were awful. I still have that stupid Silver Shamrock song in my head.

    H20 wasn't super awful.

    Resurrection was terrible.

    Rob Zombie movies were awful.

    Halloween 2018 was good.

    I won't bash someone trying to fill that glove :) I thought the new freddy did great personally he was a bit more serious and to the point which was a different type of creepy. Movie has some backstory I liked but made Nancy not the main I mean who TF is Quentin? I get it's a remake but ehh. Lets not do to much.

    You made this killer only because you know Ash would just dominate this contest.

    Only considering originals

    1) Leatherface

    2) Myers

    3) Freddy

    4) Ghostface

    5) Pig (sorry mandy but tough competition)

    6) PH (sorry triangle face, you were better in-game))

    Certain horror movies have this almost mythical status for me. I recall walking by a cinema when I was young and older sisters talking about the movie Nightmare on Elm Street. This was the poster:

    The whole concept of the film terrified me. When I eventually watched it on video when it was released, it lived up to expectations.


    Then there is Halloween, this movie scared the life out of me. I remember finding part two more unnerving.


    Scream was brilliant, it was clever and funny with a nice amount of scares.


    Now I love remakes, I'm usually attracted to the latest version of a story, there are some exceptions. Anyway I love the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (and there is a new remake on the way). The cast was pretty good, as were the special effects and the gore. A fantastic horror with Jessica Biel as a kickass final girl.


    Saw is a bit too torture pornish for me. Although I do adore the whole puzzle aspect and the choice people are forced to make.


    I consider the Trapper to be Jason, so I'm going to mention the remake of Friday the 13th, it stars the wonderful Danielle Panabaker, Killer Frost from the Flash and Jared Padalecki, one half of the Supernatural boys. A well made movie and it felt like a good roller coaster of horror.


    And while I know it's not a movie, Stranger Things is phenomenal. It's like that expression capturing lighting in a bottle.


    My fave movie associated with Dead by Daylight is Silent Hill, I found the games too nerve-wrecking, so I never got into them. I recall seeing this in the cinema and not knowing what to expect. I avoid trailers and spoilers. It was an okay start, sometimes it's tough to tell which way a horror is going to go just from the beginning. By the time a handcuffed Rosa Da Silva is running through the misty streets of Silent Hill I was transfixed. The movie at it's core is about motherhood, the lengths a woman will go to save her daughter, recklessly throwing herself into harms way. The first time the siren went off and the streets changed into this hellish otherworld, rusty fences and demon children and then changes back to the weird normality of the abandoned town, it's masterful. Then there is Pyramid Head, creepy people in makeshift hazmat suits, countless flesh eating bugs. Not to mention the other monstrosities or the cult or the witch child. The odds stacked against Rosa just seem impossible to overcome. I won't go on in case someone hasn't see it. Most of the special effects still hold up today. The pacing is not as good as some of the others mentioned and there are bits I'd change, nonetheless for what it attempts to achieve and the originality; top marks.
