What's a lesser known horror license you'd want to see added to DBD? Phantasm hype!

Phantasm rules.

I would be stoked to see The Tall Man with the Spheres, with Reggie as Survivor. Lots of possibilties for a neat power, with the drone style Spheres hunting down the survivors. Almost like a cross between The Twins and The Cenobite?

As a lifelong Horror Fan, I can confirm that Phantasm does belong in any self respecting Horror Hall of Fame.

As far as other Lesser known licenses...

Tony the Pimp from Demons! If you've not seen Demons and are a fan of balls to the wall carnage with an 80's heavy metal soundtrack. Then do yourself a favour and check it out!

Pumpkinhead or Rawhead Rex, because 9ft Tall Demons!

I've seen Matt Cordell from Maniac Cop on other wish lists (we could have Bruce Campbell as a Survivor again!!!)

I always thought that Blake from The Fog would be a great fit, especially with extra potential for additional fog mechanic...

OH! The Fog is AWESOME! 1980's John Carpenter Movie with Tom Atkins, Adrienne Barbeau, Hal Holbrook and Jamie Lee Curtis! Some genuinely creepy scenes, full of atmosphere and a couple of truly nerve shredding scenes. It's got a SICK Soundtrack to boot. Just don't mix it with the 2000s version, which sucks.

I wouldn't really call this "lesser known" but it's lesser known compared to Halloween A Nightmare on Elm Street, etc.. but I would love for them to add something Ice Nine Kills related into the game, they are a metalcore band who's last two albums have been based on horror movies. Adding Spencer Charnas (the vocalist) would give me a new main to play right away!

The Siren series.

I'm not good at describing the series and my memories a bit fuzzy not playing it for a while so excuse the bad explanation, but basically the characters have the ability of clairvoyance and can see through the eyes of others. This results in great moments like puzzles figuring out which Shibito (basically invincible zombies that can only be knocked down) has a key item, scary moments of finding out a Shibito is coming your way when you see yourself in their vision, etc.

Want this for two reasons, hope of a potential revival of the series if it gets in DBD (last game was in 2008), and I want to see how DBD could handle a clairvoyant survivor

..

• I'm not sure how to do it well mechanically, but if they could figure it out an It Follows chapter would be pretty sweet!
• I could thematically picture Behind the Mask: The Legend of Leslie Vernon as DLC, although again I'm not sure how to make him interesting mechanically. (It's an awesome movie though! I love the bit where he talks about how much cross training he has to do to gain distance on someone fleeing for their lives while looking like he's just walking casually.😄)
• Tucker and Dale Vs Evil with Tucker and Dale as the survivors
• The vengeful ventriloquist ghost and dolls from Dead Silence
• The Deer Woman from Masters of Horror (Season 1 Episode 7)
• I could maybe see them bringing in a killer from the Slasher series, they all kind of fit the mold.
• The House or the Hotel from American Horror Story could be good maps. There's also various killers in the show, some of which might work.

Its been said before but if they ever do a puppet style killer id rather have Childs play over Puppet Master even tho both are iconic 80s horror but you did say lesser known so lets see. The BloB it would be such a interesting idea tho theyd have to figure out how to do the goo physics in a game right

I found it to be so! And fun fact, it's based off of a Japanese movie based off a book by the same names, although the games act as a continuation than a retelling.

Devs also said they'd never do clowns or non-human killers. But we have The Dredge and The Clown.

(Warning : slight spoilers for Sally Face, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Until Dawn and House of Ashes)

If we're speaking REALLY indie game, Sal Fisher from Sally Face. The game also has some kind of malevolent Entity and already has a door open to alternate dimensions, so lore-wise it could make sense.

It would, however, be another short young man with a kitchen knife, which is not that exciting since we already got both Legion and Ghostface.

Ink Demon Bendy from Bendy and the Ink Machine could be cool, but I think it would depend on another teleportation based mechanic and people are getting a bit tired of that after both Onryo and Dredge (also ink puddles would be similar to Freddy's blood puddles). It would fit Eerie of Crows well though !

W!Josh Washington from Until Dawn could be very cool, and it would be interesting how the mostly movement-based vision could be used as a mechanic. It would either be very cool or very annoying.

Come to think of the Dark Pictures Anthology, one of those vampires from House of Ashes could be cool as well, in the same vein as Dredge when it comes to beastly killers vs humans. It could have a sound enhancing perk, like hearing survivors' footsteps more easily, and an ability to infect survivors or feed (get a token based bonus) from downed survivors.

Pumpkin head.

I always like jester and pinhead.
