Freddy can fake a M1
This is something I found not too long ago, whenever I played Freddy and charged a snare sometimes survivors would dead hard for seemingly no reason, until I looked at Freddy's animations and saw his snare animation is similar to his M1, pretty much him bringing his claw hand back behind him.

Wraith can do this too, it's pretty neat- the very beginning of the cloak animation looks very similar to the beginning of an M1 animation, good for baiting DH.
Not really super good for anything else, but it's still a neat gimmick.

Trapper can also bait flashlight saves faking a pick up by instead placing a trap on top of the survivor. Demo kinda.

Well, now you've done it. I see another Freddy nerf in the near future. You can no longer cancel setting up a snare and his movement speed during that time is reduced to 0.8 m/s for good measure. Actually, scratch that. Snares are removed completely and his movement speed is reduced to 4.4 m/s.

You can actually bait most survivors into Dead Harding with most killers that have powers that can be performed while walking. Most survivors aren't looking to see the lunge animation but rather any change in animation can spook them into pressing E reactively.
The best ones though are Wraith, Freddy, and Slinger since they actually raise their weapons. However in my experience, 9 out of 10 survivors will still DH when I do similar things like crouching as Ghostface or aim a pod as Singularity.
You can also bait them into dropping a pallet or vaulting it at the wrong time by doing this. Not as consistent as baiting Dead Hard but still useful in some scenarios.

You can even bait by just flicking your camera quickly up and down many players. I do it all the time on The Pig.

The best one for me is the Trapper faking out a lunge with placing a trap
