The most requested Licensed Killers are caught up in legal issues ATM

The thought occurred to me that the most prominent Licensed Killers that everyone wants are stuck in legal issues. Face it, we're probably going to get at least 1-2 Licensed Killers by years end. But, the Scream and Hellraiser series is owned by the Weinstein Company. And I don't know if anyone's been paying attention to the news but little Harvey Weinstein has been making a lot of it. So much so that the Weinstein Company is in bankruptcy and selling off their IP's, including Scream and Hellraiser. Then you have the legal issues with Friday the 13th and the claim from Illfonic that the Victor Miller lawsuit has ended production of any new content.

So that means no Ghostface, no Pinhead, and no Jason (unless Illfonic was blowing smoke up everyone's ass) until the dust has settled. So who's left?

    I don‘t like the licensed killers, think that their own characters are alot better

    BUT WHAT ABOUT PENNYWISE?!?

    Seriously though, add Leslie Vernon from Behind the Mask as a licensed Killer, that'd be freaking hilarious.

    Leslie Vernon would be an amusing killer, but TBH with all of the Legal issues going on I feel like if we get another Licensed chapter, it's going to come from a Video Game. Now what game is up for debate, I believe Outlast and FNAF are the two most probable, but anything can happen.

    It wouldn’t be hard at all to get rights to FNAF. But they wouldn’t, that’s considered a children’s game by many, and it may “tarnish” this game more than shirtless David

    A chapter I made in detail would be a resident evil licensed chapter, which is one of the threads I made, complete with perks and all

    Then again, they did mention a few Dev-streams back that they would like to get FNAF in there. That's the main reason why I mentioned it.
