Most terrifying killer?

For me it’s huntress. That lullaby freaks me out all the time.

    I would ######### my entire bodyweight if I ever met Clown (and I say that being a Clown main lol). In game tho I think Oni is the scariest when on his power, as in like I always go "######### ######### #########!!!" whenever I'm trying to reach a point in a loop and I just can't tell for sure if I'm safe or not.

    Hag traps absolutely get my heart racing, every single time, and it never gets any less intense.

    For me, it's either Myers or Oni. Both nailed the character design in opposite ways - Oni is this massive, hulking figure that's all barely restrained fury, where Myers is the motionless shape in the distance that you don't see until it's too late. It's odd, but it's their walk cycles that really do it for me. They don't run - they just walk towards you, with very different types of menace in their gait.

    I don't really find any of the killers scary, but I guess I'll go with Sadako since she still creeps me out a little and I still get easily jump scared by her.

    Appearance-wise, og Doc used to freak me out. Oni as an honourable mention for his intimidation factor.

    Story-wise, Ghostface, though Doc again as an honourable mention

    Power-wise, there isn’t really any killer that full-on ‘scares’ me, beyond Jumpscare Myers, obviously.

    I guess it depends on the type of fear. If we're talking spooky creepy then Myers for sure.

    But I also get really scared of blight and nemesis. Blight comes out of no where and nemesis footsteps are scary af.

    Any stealth killer on an inside map without spinechill

    Onryo and Jumpscare Myers. Wish there would be more horror in this game.

    It's whichever one camps - I'm in for yet another boring game. That terrifies me.

    Myers. It's mostly the anticipation; once I know it's him, I am waiting for the jumpscare to come, even if it never does. If the killer player is any good, it will, though.

    A good SM Myers is the closest thing to legit horror this game has.

    The new skinned huntresses lullaby is top tier.

    There's nothing quite like loading into a map and then hearing a Nurse blink.

    The Twins.

    It's in the chase music... Still gives me chills even now. It's really well done and remains one of my favourites.
