What killer, when the player is extremely good at them, leaves you actually scared?

I don't mean like a scared of losing, but more of it feels like an actual horror environment that leaves you petrified whenever a killer main is great at a specific character. Try to sort of steer away from certain addons (i.e. scratched mirror) or killers that annoy you rather than scare you.

This question arose because I'm a Rank 1 Blight main and people say it's literally terrifying to go against me because they aren't used to a lot of higher rank people playing him (i.e. they aren't used to me successfully rushing at loops, etc.), so I was wondering what killers actually actively scared you guys when a master plays them (not saying I'm a master, but I'm just generally saying someone extremely good at said character).

For me, it would have to be a good Oni. Something about his monstrous appearance charging full force at you and they know what they're doing freaks me out in trials.

    An Oni, I love facing someone who is good at Oni. When they use their power and know how to glide and do all sorts of tricks with it, the match can get pretty interesting. My only concern is my teammates lol they usually go down in less than 20 seconds.

    In my opinion, Hillbilly. When I'm facing a good billy that knows how to curve, it's genuinely scary. Sad thing is, I've only gone against one good Hillbilly since his "rework."

    Pig, the best ones know how to deny most loops with their ambush and can often get gen grabs when you're not prepared.

    Pyramid Head and Huntress. PH due to extreme power. Huntress due to potential she has if skilled.

    The only killers that can still scare me in this game, after 4 years of play are mostly ghostfaces/Myers. But anything without a terror radius that sneaks up on me will always be terrifying.

    None.

    Playing against very decent players a whole tier above me can be hopeless, but never scary; too bad it happens less often than once in 500 hrs with current MM.

    Fear is not quite what top level dbd is about.

    Tbh only 3 killers, Oni, Nurse, and Nea. Each one is extremely dangerous when they are skilled.
