Can we please get some classic skins from the black and white TV era (1936 to 1967) skins like Dracula's first appearance skin? I'll would even pay extra for Netflix's Castlevania of Dracula.

    The Netflix Castlevania outfits could be in the cards, but I doubt we'd ever get skins of classic Dracula movies on him, as they're part of a different IP and they're not the same character. Castlevania's Dracula is a pretty specific incarnation of Dracula, and Konami's going to want to keep his depiction in DBD distinct to their brand. I don't think we've ever had a licensed character get a skin outside their own license? DBD is free to do that with their in-house killers, and we have had killer skins like William Birkin Blight and Titan Oni, but negotiating anything between two licenseholders sounds like a mess.

    So to get an OG Dracula skin, I'm pretty sure we'd need either an OG Dracula license, or a DBD homebrew vampire killer that can then get a licensed or public domain inspired skin.

    Though, I'd love some old film inspired outfits in general. Sounds like a great idea for a collection.

    In terms of the classics, The Dark Lord definitely would benefit from a classic Dracula outfit, although not sure how licensing works regarding that Dracula and Castlevania's Dracula.

    I'd love to see more classic. I know The Hag has a Merman outfit and The Blight has similarities to the "Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde" character, but there are some other Killers which I'd like to see in some form:

    1. The Wolf Man
    2. The Phantom of the Opera
    3. Imhotep
    4. The Invisible Man

    I dunno why, but I idly thought Black and White Classics and instantly had in mind I Love Lucy era, I Dream of Jeanie, The Munsters, The Addams Family, Vincent Price, The Twilight Zone. All classic B&W TV

    Even Netflix Dracula is off the table because that's it's own seperate license from that of the game version of Castlevania.
