List of (Reasonable) Potential Killers

Forgot about Krampus or Jack the Ripper.

@homeslice i like your list but id really like to see a Ghostface would work really well he could be modelled after billy and stu. Where you could like camouflage as another survivor on the map and then get out of line of sight and appear as the killer? Or maybe have a killer marker on the ground like the hag has and be able to swap between mulitple spots on the map. Idk i have a ton of great ideas for that one though haha

Jason would be highly unlikely, he has a game and it’s basically DBD’s (albeit outgunned) competition in the killer game arena. I think Chucky would be a NIGHTMARE in a good way, lots of possibilities. Pyramid Head would also likely be out unless they got a license from Konami, but more importantly I think him and Pumpkinhead are just too damn big. Candyman could be cool as well. I don’t imagine, from a strictly lore perspective, that Pinhead or one of the xenobytes would play this game as I consider them almost Entity level demonic presence... besides, the Lament Configuration is kind of its own game, like a spider web that people fall into. The others have too many issues or they just wouldn’t contribute that movie killer vibe imo, but that’s just me.

I just want a hooded grim reaper type killer... with a long handled scythe "siighs"

I could see pyramidhead in the game as a killer... Would be fun to play against as well

The crooked Man

What about Art the Clown from All Hallows Eve and Terrifier? He/it is creepy as they come.

Hell. Lets just make a power ranger killer. Ill dc to that shiz all day long lol

Wishmaster or Slenderman would be cool

The Boogieman

What about a killer that used cabinets? Potentially popping out and grabbing people. Kind of like a Boogeyman situation?

I do think a Killer that could utilize the lockers to spy on people and pop out would be awesome 😎

But once you know which killer it is those cabinets would become pointless no?

I don’t think so, some generators are in rooms literally filled with them... I would find that kind of nerve wracking. I’m not talking gingerly sneaking out of the locker like a Survivor either, I’m talking quick and explosive. Imagine you’re nearby and the heartbeat goes away and you misinterpret that as the Killer moving away but actually the locker gives him innate Insidious type stealth, you go to work on that gen all of a sudden BOOM he’s on top of you. I also imagine the unlucky Survivor that chooses your locker to hide in gets an instant interrupt, same as finding someone in reverse. I don’t think it would work as the only ability, round it out with a minor ability for when you’re on the move, but you get the idea.

I still think that The Tank from the Left 4 Dead series could be made possible.
Now i know the devs don't want regular zombies in their game, but not a single person in L4D is actually a zombie.
Instead, they're all infected.
Yup, there's a difference.

I figure that The Tank would be able to break thrown-down pallets with a melee attack rather than the regular "Break pallet" interaction, allowing him to move on faster.

His Power, unsurprisingly, would be to grab a big rock from the ground...
(It doesn't have to look pretty, cause trust me, on maps like The Game & Lery's, it's not gonna.)
...and throw it at Survivors.
It would deal double damage, but it renders the Tank immobile during the grabbing and throwing animations.
Of course, you'd be able to move again after the animation is over, even if the rock hasn't hit anything yet.

Here's some ideas I had for licensed movie killers. Left out The Creeper from Jeepers Creeps on purpose.


Pinhead (Hellraiser) - The Demon
W.Curved Blade
A. 'The Box' You torment the survivors and enjoy watching them suffer. The ability to leave puzzle boxes on generators, hooks, chests and totems. If a survivor fails a skill check on a puzzle box, they are injured as a result.
M.Strung up (Torn apart my hooked chains).
L.Cenobite Realm
1.'Blood Lust'. Freshly hit survivors leave moderately brighter red scratch mark if they run after being hit. Effect lasts 3 seconds.
2.'Suffering'. You revel in pain endured by your victims. Close injured survivors auras are revealed to you for 3 seconds with a 8 second cool down for the same survivor. Healing skill check fails result in associated suvivors' auras being revealed for 3 seconds.
3.'Torture'. You appreciate the pain that the hooks can inflict. Survivors who attempt to sabotage the hooks have their auras revealed for 5 seconds.

Candyman - The Myth
W.Hook
A.'Spectre'. Your supernatural powers allow you to appear next to a survivor who has been caught by your chilling gaze. Teleport to the opposite side of a survivor after releasing the Haunt charge. Ability has a 30 second cool down. 
M.Gutted (Hook through back to stomach).
L.Burning Field Of Bees
1.'Be My Victim'. You become obsessed with one survivor. Sacrificing your obsession will cause all remaining survivors to have their auras revealed for 10 seconds.
2.'Feared Fable'. Your infamous folklore terrifies all that know your name. Unsuccessful skill checks on generators result in all connected survivors auras being revealed for 3 seconds.
3.'Swarm Of Pain'. Totem Perk: One chest is filled with vicious bees. Once opened, the victim is stung resulting in mobility and fixing penalties for 60 seconds. If the Totem is cleansed before the chest is opened, the original contents are restored. 

Ghostface (Scream) - The Slasher
W.Kitchen Knife
A.'Stealth Dash'. Run at high speed in total silence. No Charge. Lasts for three seconds with a 10 second cool down. 
M.Slasher Attack (Multiple Stab Wounds).
L.High School
1.'Terrified Of The End'. Injured survivors are terrified of you. Their moans of pain are moderately increased.
2.'Scary Movie' Every time a survivor is killed the remaining survivors become unnerved and receive a moderate 45 second skill challenge increase penalty. 
3.'Killer Instinct'. Freshly hit survivors auras are revealed to you for 3 seconds.

Alien - The Alien
W.Claw
A.'Facehugger Egg'. Place an egg which when disturbed unleashes a Facehugger that attempts to attach to the survivor. The victim's aura is revealed for 3 seconds.
M.Kiss Of Death (Tongue Head Smash).
L.Mining Colony Planet
1.'Burns Unit'. Every time you get hit by a falling pallet, it becomes stained by your acid blood. Whenever a survivor vaults the pallet they get temporary speed and ability penalties.
2.'Valuable Cargo'. Your obsession has been unknowingly impregnated with an Alien. Don't hook your obsession. If your obsession is the last remaining survivor, they can then be grounded and a chest burster is born.
3.'Window Licker'. Drool drips from your mouth as you pass through windows, leaving acidic effects for 8 seconds. The next survivor who vaults the window will scream, revealing their aura for 3 seconds.

Matt Cordell (Maniac Cop) - The Cop
W.Bladed nightstick
A.'Remain Silent'. Move silently. Stops when weapon is drawn.
M.Beaten To Death (Nightstick Beatdown).
L.Police Headquarters.
P1.'Police Brutality'. Your powerful strikes cause massive damage to survivors. Hit a survivor for a third time and they receive moderate self-healing penalties. 
P2.'Hard Justice'. A sense of urgency is needed as crime rises. Every time a generator is repaired your speed significantly increases for 12 seconds.
P3.'Death Penalty'. Option to kill your obsession after they have escaped a hook twice.

I think the Tall Man from Phantasam would be awesome.  The spheres would make for an interesting mechanic and mori

The Boogieman

@Blueberry
That's Micheal Myers. In the movies he's referred to as the boogieman. 
And his in-game name was going to be The Boogieman before being changed to The Shape

@Blueberry the boogieman is just an idea of something horrific hiding in your closet or under your bed. There's no way they'd actually add something like that to the game that's why the original idea for Micheal Myers name was changed, and the only reason it was an idea is because that's how he's referenced by from some characters.

Xenomorph from Alien would be interesting, and Ripley would make a great survivor. Besides that possibly the Demogorgon from Stranger Things and one of the teens as the survivor. I'm not sure of the logistics of it but having it function almost like a mix of Spirit and Wraith could be interesting. You travel around the Upside Down completely unseen and unable to see survivors, albeit you can hear things and see scratch marks. You can then create an opening between worlds and enter the realm with survivors to get a jump on them but you can only get back into the upsidedown through the opening you made. 

He's not horror but I think Darth Vader could work.
