There are plenty of horror characters to continue adding to the roster both current and old. And while the current day options are ever expanding, which did you grow up with? Who did your friends or family introduce you to and shape the image of what horror is?

We've already gotten many of the icons I grew up with, but there are still a few Im hoping for.

Wishmaster

Pack Leader from The Howling

Creeper

    My first exposure to horror was reading Stephen King's It, and then I grew up with his books & movie adaptations. Then I watched every saw movie and I only started really expending my horror repertoire when I was an older teen / young adult (and I still haven't finished because there's quite a lot of catching up to do). Here's my picks:

    Pennywise from It

    Jack Torrance from the Shining

    Jason from Friday the 13th (I believe he's the only slasher icon left now that we got Chucky ?)

    Sam from Trick 'R Treat

    (I genuinely don't know if this movie is popular at all but I've always loved this little guy's design)

    DBD is only missing 1 big one for most people I'd say. That being Jason. And I'd throw in Pennywise if I could add one more for movies.


    For video games I think its pretty obvious at this point what most people would like more than anything else. Springtrap and/or Slenderman.

    Jason, Slenderman, and Pennywise are the only ones left that we grew up with and really want to see. We're welcome to surprises though.

    Pennywise is the only one left that I really care about. I hope they can find a way to get him one day.

    Aside from what has been mentioned, there’s still potential for chapters involving Dracula, Wolfman, Mummy, maybe Frankenstein’s monster (if they really wanted to go all-in to classic horror) and other earlier iconic “creature feature” characters as Killers in DBD. Maybe even some form of Ghost Pirate akin to those in Carpenter’s The Fog (w/o needing licensing for any of these either, btw) would make for a worthwhile chapter.

    Figuring how 4 are added yearly, eventually those depths of the horror “well” may need to be delved into.

    @Annso_x @Biggiecheez @Rulebreaker @Wexton @I_CAME

    Jason would definitely be a great addition, I just kind of gave up on him though when I read about the legal issues. Still hopefully one day

    I'd also like to see Pennywise. Im more partial to the Tim Curry version and think getting him to do voice lines would be amazing if possible. Ive got nothing against the newer version other then he gave me more of a predator vibe vs a scary image.

    Id like to see slenderman if the concept stays similar to other games and lore where looking directly at him should be avoided.

    Tony the Pimp from Demons?

    All for Tall Man from Phantasm and Pumpkinhead as well!

    Would love to see more collabs with iconic Actors/Actresses from the Horror Genre.

    For me my #1 most wanted chapter is The Tall Man.


  • Deathstroke

    Slenderman, pennywise, the nun and mary shaw from dead silence. Then maybe one of these three annabelle, megan or orphan. One character also I do hope outside of horror davy jones.

    Jason and Pennywise. I also think Fatal Frame would bring some nice cosmetics.

    Honestly I wasn't super fan of the new It movies (although I'd still be really happy if we got Pennywise from this version). I just liked his design better than the older one haha. I wouldnt mind either version or a more "original" take with BHVR getting the licence from the books and making their own design.

    Also, I completely forgot Slenderman ! Now that we got Chucky it doesn't seem impossible to get him, so that'd be cool. As for the mechanic to not be allowed to look at him we already have the reveal mechanic for GF or Spine Chill which detect LoS of the killer, so it doesn't seem like it'd be too complicated to implement tbh.
