I know this is very very very small nitpick but it really annoys me why ghostface is called "the ghostface" and nemesis is called "the nemesis" why didnt they call ghostface the stalker and nemesis the bioweapon or something like that? Pyramid head isnt called "the pyramid head"

    Not going to lie, this post made me laugh😂Never realized how ridiculous some of the names sounded lol.

    Anyways, I definitely agree. You'd think they would be more creative with the names, but maybe it's because of the license(s)? Even then they name their original killers the same way so I don't even know.

    I might add that 'The Pursuer' sounds cool for Nemesis though.

    I never liked that Myers has been called "The Shape". What the hell kind of name...

    But yea, I agree, there shouldn't be a "The" in front of their actual names. We should rename all the survivors to "The Dwight", "The Meg", "The Claudette", etc, to keep things consistent.

    Well, it's because of licensing. the "Ghost Face" in lore isn't actually the same character from his original media, but simply an OC who wore the ghost face costume.

    For Myers, that's also because none of the killers use their actual name as their title (i.e. the trapper isn't called Evan)

    myers was referred to as "the shape" in the halloween movies. the alternative would be "the boogeyman", but im sure we can agree that might not work so well

    Ah I see, well that makes more sense to me now. "The Michael" has my vote though.

    Seriously, the literal names with "The" at the start is really odd. Nemesis btw has three names found from the files that woulda been better.

    "The Pursuer" / "The Tyrant" / "The Potential
