What Killer actually scares you?

What Killer along with all of their skins/weapons actually make you feel scared? I’ll got first.

  1. The Cenobite. Since they are interdimensional travelers I WILL NOT play around with that puzzle box, even if it is in the game.
  2. The Doctor. The Doctor terrifies me. His concept is so disturbing. It’s the cartoony mad scientist except he’s real. I find it horrifying how he shocks Survivors’ brains… How he shocks his own brain… It’s just too much. Omg he scares me so much that I can’t even look at him on the main screen sometimes. I’m scared. Lol

Are there any Killers that make you feel afraid?

    I wouldn't say they scare me, but there are plenty of killers that have a horror aspect. The horror icons, Doctor, Huntress...

    The problem is the game around them no longer having a proper horror atmosphere.

    EDIT: I forgot to mention the killers who aren't scary, but that can be easily fixed with cosmetics, such as Chimeric Horde for Legion.

    Its not scared, but Myers is the only one to actually give a "uh oh" reaction from us. Never know when he'll pop T3 and instantly kill you because you didn't see him look in your direction (or teammates). Also helps most Myers actually play different from one another, so we don't know what to expect.

    Michael & Hag are the only 2 killers that can jump scare me. Though I'm not scared of them, I've had moments where I'm caught off guard by a Phantasm trap or I didn't initially notice Michael.

    As far as gameplay goes it’s gotta be either oni in his power chasing you trying to flick you or Hillbilly trying to curve you. You can’t top those 2 killers… not even close..

    A survivor I had no idea was there vacuuming into a pallet stun out of nowhere. Genuinely one of the few times I have jumped.

    In terms of fear factors, the closest top 6 for me are:

    1. The Shape

    2. The Oni

    3. The Executioner

    4. The Cannibal

    5. The Dredge

    6. The Onryō

    I had an open discussion about this before on here, and it seems like the atmosphere just isn’t there. A lot of the Killer roster isn’t creepy (Wesker, Trickster, Merchant, etc), the maps are missing the creepy fog and other elements that make the map come to life. You don’t go into the game as a survivor thinking it’s creepy as a survivor, you really be just thinking about the gen, who the killer is and how you’re gonna loop them.

    Scratched Mirror Myers is really scary on indoor maps and have spooked me plenty. Huntress's lullaby is genuinely unnerving, especially with the Baba Yaga skin. Dredge can be quite unnerving with his uncanny appearance as well as jumpscare-like power.

    Either that or someone camping and dropping a pallet when you cant see them.

    Makes me jump every time.
