    You bring valid points, barely a few people play killer a lot. Springtrap will have people playing a lot more killer and honestly, the Fnaf community, is a bit 'off putting'(Only way of saying it without me getting in trouble lol) than DBD community, but not even as toxic as the DBD community. I would love to see MatPat do a theory video of DBD, someone who cna make actual sense of this games' lore. I found a video that was really well made for a Fnaf chapter in concept I'll leave a link for you. However I will say, it may come this year, if not that's fine, I don't expect it to come this year, I expect RE, or Candyman, but not Fnaf. Anyway hope you have a good one

    Edit: spelling errors

    Teen.

    Movies and tv are rated pg-13, the equivalent for games is Teen. The same rating as Jedi: Fallen Order, which I would not categorize as a childish game, especially given the themes of PTSD that weave through the story.

    Tbh, I have no idea why mostly slasher become popular too, my Guess is that was a cheap formula and was SO overproducted that ppl just got into it

    FNaF at least got its sucess from the bizarre and youtubers playing it

    I think FNAF would be a great addition to DBD and I think the best part would be the map!

    Either a creepy run down Pizzeria or maybe even the new Security Breach area. Those would be neat maps!

    Plus bhvr would make a killing on the chapter/ all the skins they could make.

    Slasher films have a few things that make them fun for the audience:

    A visually unique and striking villain. There's also some attitude that comes with the villains that you normally don't get from other horror genres. Freddy is VERY confident and almost playful. Jason is a killing machine that is as quiet as he is indestructible. Chucky cusses a lot and sounds like he got kicked in the balls while pissing in a back alley of New Jersey.

    Creative use of violence and gore. Jason in particular was notorious for creative kill scenes. Freddy is no slouch either.

    Cat and mouse chases.

    Most franchises start with a decent enough story that captures the imagination or paints the history of the villain in such a way that it is entertaining, moving, shocking, etc. It's a story that evokes an emotional response and maybe some understanding. While I wouldn't call him a traditional slasher movie villain, Candyman actually has a fantastic story.

    Slasher movies, in general, opened the flood gates for a lot of creativity to get pumped into horror. This stagnated over time due to movie studios wanting to dumb them down to the base mechanics and pump out cheap movies for easy cash (though the genre has been reinvigorated from time to time with new ideas). They also came with a very notorious reputation for being the movies that conservative parents didn't want their kids seeing, which honestly increased their standing with the target audience (teens that wanted to see cool looking kills), whether or not the reputation was deserved. Friday the 13th movies in particular got hit with this, though many will tell you that they don't seem as brutal as outrage media made them out to be.
