Immersive challenges for killers?
I found the Cenobite to be way too easy to hook survivors. I wasn't getting much points just hooking everyone real fast and ending the match. As a fan of the early Hellraiser movies, I decided to try only attacking survivors that open the lament configuration. After all, Pinhead and his crew do only show up to those who have. Matches draw out longer. As long as I'm looking for the box to trigger chain hunt and pressuring gens, I can usually get at least 3 out of 4. All 4 is rare doing it this way. It's crazy how often survivors will pick up the box even when they don't need to.
For Nightmare, since I'm also a fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, I have Freddy let the last person go. You know, Freddy vs Jason? He can't come back if nobody remembers. I usually play fair on all killers where I don't tunnel the hooked after they're freed until I've hooked someone else and never facecamp. It's more to draw out the match for more BP, but I can't think of any more challenges.
Do you know some killer's lore pretty well? If so, what are some challenges you would suggest that fits them?

I don't know about lore, but one challenge idea I had for the Pig was use Hex: Ruin and try to get the first Survivor death that triggers its deactivation come from a Reverse Bear Trap kill (a "Game Over" score event).
More generally, maybe something like an Exposed build to go along with Jigsaw's creed of putting your life at risk to preserve it. Make the Survivors' actions as risky as it's possible to make them (Make Your Choice for saves, Dragon's Grip for generators, Ruleset Number 2 to force the choice of "seek out Jigsaw Boxes now when you can't find them or get the generator done first")

Out of the licensed killers, here's what I know
Pig: She doesn't really have any real immersive challenge to her, unless you want to play with her being kinda weak physically in the films and only attack using her ambush
Myers: Focus all of your attention on the obsession, only attack the others if they get in your way. Pair it up with Nemesis and Furtive Chase and Rancor if you want ! F U N ! times
Sadako: Completely ignore hooks, kill people with Condemned. (Good luck doing this)

A recent Otz video introduced me to a guy who seems to specialize in getting Condemned kills with Sadako: One Pump Willie.

Hello, i like to do Torment only pyramid head, you must torment people to attack them and you are forced to only cage/judgement. If they are not tormented, they do not deserve to be attacked. I have fun doing so even in match where survivors dodges torment. I met some cool people who had fun versing me

Those are some good ideas! Another unique challenge to play I have enjoyed is trying to get a Mori through skull add-ons or Hex: Devour Hope (requires 5 hooks though). I seem to get more points by drawing out matches. Some of the more evil killers might do this. Freddy the Nightmare for example. The way BHVR depicts him in his story almost seems like he's afraid of the Entity. That couldn't be further from Freddy's personality in the Elm Street series. He might even rebel because he serves 'the Dream People'. He was a fearless, morally corrupt psychopath in life and in death.
Others who wouldn't be afraid to starve the Entity are: The Trapper. He got his wounds from fighting it, didn't he? Cenobite might use hooks so he can get Moris and meet his quota for sending people to Leviathan, but that is who Pinhead/Chatterer serves so in playing him one should always try to Mori those who opened the box. Mastermind, Dredge, Nemesis, Executioner or the Shape wouldn't be afraid either. Nemesis and Wesker would attack STARS members first. All of these might use hooks just because they're there. Other killers may be psychopaths or great warriors, but not immune to fearing the Entity.
