Please, for the love of anything you like, Candyman...
My favourite horror movie, my favourite horror movie villain.
You get seven states a Sadako for condemned, could have five for Daniel Robitaille.
Artist has crows. Candyman has bees.
The mechanics are there. Make it happen!

We've been begging for years, it's got to happen at some point.
I know Tony Todd is onboard, but I think it's MGM/Amazon they need to deal with.

@Seraphor I had no idea Tony Todd was in to it. There's no reason Pinhead should be the only smack talking villain. Candyman's lines would be epic. "Be my victim."

Why? Just so he can be another icon killer being bullied by swf? They refuse to make strong killers.

Because he's popular and if people want him then they should aim to add him regardless of whatever each individual's idea of game balance is?

Bottom line is: you can ask, beg cry for Candyman all you want. If the license holders do not want to sell licensing, you will never get it xD

please no, not another boring underwhelming licensed chapter

Have we ever found out which video games Tony Todd did those voice recordings for?

@Mooks He's got a voice acting credit in the upcoming Sony Spider-man 2 set for 2023. Possible as Venom but that's up for debate. He did a voice for a character in DOTA but can't find anything more on it.
@NerfedFreddy You can't really denegrate something that doesn't exist. The character is Schrodingers, both awesome and sucky, because this is just a thought experiment.
I personally wouldn't use any other killer, if he were in it. And it has to be Tony Todd not that Abdul imposter from the 2021 film. But gameplay wise, there could be some interesting mechanics. His add-ons would be an easy pick (sweets, mirrors, paintings and brushes etc.) The bees could impair survivors, but instead of the crows, you could have a timer to get them off or you go to the injured (or dying) state. Could have mirros dotted around the map and put timers so survivors have to at some point interact with them and have that as one of the 5 Candymans the survivors have to say. Once all five, either exposed or condemned. His add-ons would either speed up the timer needed to interact with a mirror, or slow down the bee timer. His perks could be something around the theme of his hook hand and the trial hooks, maybe. As he isn't really a walking killer, he'd materilaise like Sadako. And maybe faze in the chases. Haven't put much thought in to these, this is jsut what's off the top of my head.
Problem is, in the movie canon he's described as a vengeful Wraith. So I have no idea what he's be called ALA Pyramid head and The Executioner.

That’s easy - Daniel Robitaille and The Candyman

I am voting that the anniversary killer is Candy Man purely because of the shape of the 6. It’s just me being desperate, I know it probably isn’t lol

Artist's design and backstory make me think she was originally a prototype for Candyman. Or at least based off/inspired by him.

@TragicSolitude When I first thought of Candyman in DBD, it hit me that it was just The Artist. Kinda disappointing. Now they'd have to work hard not to make him just an Artist derivative. I can't think of what his power would be but the bees and How'd you work them without them being exactly the same as the crows? They're just a hindrance and added pressure.

@MrsGhostface That's what we all thought with the Pinhead license and the hook tease we got. I even allowed a vain hope that The Artist was Daniel Robitaille. The 6 would have to be upside down with an elongated curve for it to be juice flowing. But we can all hope, though. People seem to think the new killer will be spider based.
0 -
People said the previous killer would be spider based too, and the one before that.
Ultimately there's a ton of breadcrumbs left scattered to throw us off. Too much noise to make out the pattern.

I'm starting to get that vibe off her too.

We can hope. Lots of good IPs out there ripe for the picking. The game needs to be in a healthier state, though. I'd rather they wait until the character can be done justice and not rush it out when the game isn't ready for it.

Candyman, and then FNAF or The Shining that would be cool

Artist released merely six months ago, mate.

Doctor Sleep would be a great chapter, with Danny Torrence and Rose the Hat.
Could introduce new psychic 'Shining' style perks for each of them.
Rose could have a floating sprint power and a Doctor style illusory passive.
0 -
I didn't like Rose The Hat and it should be Jack Torrance

Guy with an axe? Where's the power there?

This should be the old Candyman with Tony Todd. Not that new piece of crap by Jordan Peele.
0 -
@Munqaxus It was Nia Decosta, Peele just a production credit. But I agree wholeheartedly.
I also think FNAF is a bad idea. The whole deal with the puppets is they don't move when you look at them. That sounds like a massive nuisance.

Why do you want your favorite horror movie icon to be humiliated in dbd by pallets, lockers, firecrackers and flashlights?
