WE need a spider killer, scarecrow killer, a mummy killer. A wolf killer not like a dog wolf but kinda like a wolf that can stand up on his on two feet like the movie van helsing. We also need a Demon killer.

    I would be into a werewolf killer. Provide they do them right. Which they won't. But also, since we got Castlevania style Dracs. how about a take from, Bloodborne: The Tragic Terror. Father Gascoigne, turns into lycan form after a while when he hears his daughter's music box. Could be implemented like something with Pinhead's puzzle box. 🤷‍♂️

    It really surprised me when someone pointed out the game is missing the "Universal Classic Monsters". Particularly the core of Dracula, the Wolf Man, the Mummy, and Frankenstein. We're finally getting a Dracula, but the rest are still missing.

    The more I think about it, though, it seems on purpose. After the early set of original Killers, it seems every original Killer since is deliberately not archetypal, perhaps to avoid a repeat of Hillbilly and Bubba. So getting the classic archetypes will largely depend on getting licenses, like with Dracula.

    I don't think there's any value in the devs trying to mark off archetypal characters, really. We actually do have a killer based on the wolf man, in fact, with NUMEROUS references to the Universal film. He's Talbot Grimes, named for Larry Talbot(The titular Wolf Man), using a cane as reference to the one given to the Wolf Man so he can defend himself. He's actually a very interesting reinterpretation of that sort of character, far more than if we got any simple old werewolf. Similarly, Adiris, the Plague, is actually a take on a mummy killer. I think we're getting and have gotten BHVR's versions of these characters, and it would be redundant and kind of staid if they tried to go for archetypes like some people request.

    On the demon killer, specifically, I don't think BHVR is willing to deal with religions that are, in the modern day, prominent and followed, so there's nothing we could get from a killer defined by being a traditional demon. Without any proper religious themes, that's just another monster.
