DBD should do a collaboration with Phantasm
This game is suppose to be the ¨Hall of Fame of Horror¨, however it is far from complete as several franchises are still missing as of yet, and one of those franchises is Phantasm.
For those who don't know what Phantasm is, it is an American sci-fi fantasy horror film series that consists of five films, novels, comic books, and merchandise. It is mainly about the Tall Man, a supernatural and malevolent undertaker and the main antagonist who turns the dead into dwarf zombies to do his bidding and take over the world. He is opposed by Mike Pearson and his friend Reggie who pursues and takes up the fight against the Tallman to put an end to his reign of terror for good. The first film was released in 1979, received generally positive reviews and has become a cult classic.
It is regarded as one of the most unique horror franchises out there due to it's dreamlike, surreal narrative and imagery.
Don Coscarelli who is the creator of Phantasm is open for a video game adaptation of Phantasm, so now is the perfect time bring this piece of horror history to DBD.

Do it MCote pls. This Killer has flying knife balls (Pinhead?) and potential a map tp (demodog) which Survivors can also go through, and minions that attack Survivors (Nemesis.) This is such a cool licence.

Let's all virtually poke Mathieu Cote in the ribs on Twitter and run away. Then we wait and see if anything happens a year from now.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
We need Tony the Pimp from Demons and Pumpkinhead as well!

Totally agree, Phantasm would be a great fit for the game. Tall Man (aka The Pinball Wizard) is a great thematic killer and the pinballs and such open up some neat possible mechanics for his ability. And the mortuary and its surrounding would be a cool map to play in.

People on dbd twitter are talking about this it looks like such a cool franchise I can't believe Im just hearing about it does it have a good survivor and map option?

Yeah i'm aware and you're right, it's a really great franchise and i cannot recommend it enough for people to watch.
Frankly I'm super happy that more and more people are talking and learning about it and i really appreciate Paulie for spreading the word about the franchise and hopefully increasing it's chances of coming into the game.
As for Survivor, assuming it would be a full chapter and not a paragraph, it would have to be Mike and Reggie as the main Survivors with Jody as a Legendary skin for Mike and Reggie's ice cream vendor outfit for him.
In terms of map, for me it should either be the Morningside Mausoleum from the 1st movie or the Mausoleum from the 3rd movie.

Honestly I'm pleasantly surprised to see the amount of support n the comments of that video from the number of people who want Phantasm. It's up to us to spread the word that there are so many people who want this license in DBD because I think they may have underestimated the appeal to the DBD community. I think I did myself. The outpouring of "phans" has been great!

A mausoleum map would be so cool I watched the first one and I love It Im so glad you and Paulie brought this to everyones attention so many people want this hopefully the devs take notice

This would be a great chapter. I feel like his use of the ball would be super similar to Pinhead and his teleporting hooks, however.
Super creepy classic film and would be great to see.

Actually i think it would be closer to that of Twins with the Sentinels and Dredge's teleportation between lockers with the Dimensional Fork, but even then it can still be different enough from those powers to stand out from them enough.
