Sharing some of my most completed licensed chapter ideas for Dead by Daylight

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I'm sure some people starting to get tired of me talking about Dead by Daylight. I still had one more possible follow up blog left to do. I don't plan to cover every franchise in existence. I have chosen a few franchises I have the most thought out licensed chapter ideas. Each one going to be quite interesting to discuss in their own right.

Don't expect any actual perk concepts I'm not sure how they would go about them for these franchises.

1. BioShock

My concept is going to be a bit ambitious. The survivor going to be Elizabeth since he traveled the multiverse to a degree in BioShock: Infinite. Most realms in Dead by Daylight were created by The Entity. She easily would be the more prepare for whatever comes her way during the matches. I was inspired by Tokyo Ghoul twist for Ken Kaneki to go into a similar direction.

Subject Delta was traveling with Eleanor Lamb whose a Little Sister. They suddenly get over whelmed by the creatures rooming the underwater city of Rapture. Subject Delta really tried to save her but inevitably couldn't. This caused the Big Daddy to lose control as well as any remaining humanity. Quickly slaughtering all that came his way.

This version isn't aware he exclusively needed Eleanor to survive. Many Little Sisters ended up dead further upsetting Subject Delta. Just when it would've been the end, a mysterious black fog appeared. Right before the Big Daddy hit the ground. Subject Delta indirectly was moved back into normal position while being confused what just happened?

Not long following that Subject Delta becomes a new killer for The Entity. I actually put a lot of thought into what could be his game play. The right hand will be wielding the iconic driller. The left hand will use many abilities from BioShock 2. Players have more customization than expected. They can choose which four of those abilities they could use during matches.

They also need to pay extra attention to the add-ons. Some will notably change an aspect of a particular power. Not many of them will affect more than one abilities. Of course, the map needs to be 100% a huge recreation of Rapture. They easily could reuse it's original design from the first BioShock game. Mirroring their strategy for Silent Hill chapter essentially.

The mori should be quite obvious. Subject Delta drills into a survivor killing them. Personally as ambitious of a concept this is. A lot of secondary moris with those abilities could be a lot fun to do. This alone brings in such creativity to the overall experience. I do think this could easily be among the most successful video game crossovers to date.

2. Supernatural

Supernatural ran for fifteen seasons across two channels that's related. There's also an animated show as well as an prequel alternative universe show. Virtually everyone wants the Winchester brothers that's really been through so much!!! Their best friend being an angel named Castiel needs to be a legacy skin in the game.

They previously done a few licensed chapters that brought in two survivors each. The brothers took on so many beings they easily fit into Dead by Daylight. There's a lot of books based on the show. Some might view this being similar to Buffy the Vampire Slayer in a couple ways. Unfortunately it would bag who would be the killer if they were to do an full chapter?

I know majority of people asking for this crossover wants an half chapter just for the brothers. There's a couple notable recurring villains on the show. There's a very high chance they'll go with Lucifer. Whose one of a very few arch angels in the series. He's a massive thorn in everyone's sides. I doubt they would go with him due to some people take religion quite seriously.

The very thing they would want is upsetting a lot of those people by adding Lucifer in as a killer. Personally I see much more potential with Crowley. Yes he would be more of a neutral character on the show. It's exactly why he could be a great choice for being the killer of that licensed chapter. Crowley was more than a cross road demon making deals for people's souls.

Crowley was the King of Hell since virtually no one wanted to rule Hell at the time. Yes this would include Lucifer as well as the highest ranked demons in existence. Crowley could bring in a lot for a rather unique game play experience. He could be given an hell hound that's invisible by normal means making em scarier.

Yes I know this would make him similar to The Houndmaster. He also could have an demon assist him during matches to represent that position. I'm very sure they'll avoid giving him weapons that instantly kill the survivors for fairness purposes. Crowley was on the show a long time giving the team a lot of possible cosmetics to work with.

Crowley would be set up to quickly stay on top of the survivors during matches. He was a brilliant strategist that was feared by demons. They also could have him teleport through his red smoke form to a degree. A big if the actor reprises the role for this crossover. I'm very sure both actors who played the Winchesters going to as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Crowley would be quite difficult to escape from. I'm very curious exactly when in the show he gets taken? This concept was a huge factor why I chosen the franchise on that DbD survey recently. I really do think they could easily do so much with this crossover. I wouldn't even be surprised it's among the most selected shows on that listing either.

Crowley could easily have some terrifying moris in the game. The classic sending the hell bound to kill an survivor. He also could summon a few demons to finish them off. Again a reference to his position in Hell. He also could possess someone then make them kill themselves. Another possible mori could be using some of the artifacts he has access to on the survivors.

You know the more dangerous artifacts they easily could have a lot of fun with. Another possible mori could be just sending survivors to Hell. Then they get slaughtered afterwards with a very brief moment hearing them screaming. This is why I think Crowley would work amazingly well as a future killer in the game.

3. The House of the Dead

The House of the Dead is among the strangest Sega video game franchises in existence. You have The Typing of the Dead series that's alternate versions of the main games. But instead of shooting, you're typing in words to survive. There's also Pinball of the Dead on GBA that's an pinball style game. English of the Dead is a more educational take on The House of the Dead 2.

Of course, I gotta mention The House of the Dead: Overkill that's technically a prequel to the first game. At the same time, there was many notable changes making it more grindhouse movie style. Sega loves doing crossovers with this franchise that's rather interesting as well to discuss. You can see Sega gets a bit creative with The House of the Dead series that just stands out.

I just never stated in a good or bad ways, there's a good amount of both. Like having Uwe Boll directed the first House of the Dead movie yeah great idea Sega!!! There's a couple video games in the franchise that's inspired many franchises to a degree. Largely we have agents taking on zombies with some unusual undead creatures thrown in.

Before I go any further yes that does sound a little like Capcom's Resident Evil. To clarify, the first entry came out a few years after the original Resident Evil game. But both Resident Evil Chronicles games heavily borrowed from that franchises. We already have success twice with Resident Evil in Dead by Daylight.

This could be exactly what the franchise needs to get back up again. Especially how disappointing The House of the Dead 2: Remake turned out to be, no I haven't played it yet. I really would love for this franchise to get a great comeback in the near future. There's a few possible survivor choices to pick from.

My personal choice is Agent G with little to nothing to go on what the G stands for. Yes The House of the Dead: Overkill made a joke about that. Although there's also a bit more possible killer choices. I strongly felt the most iconic, fitting choice must be Magician. Easily among the most recurring boss monsters in the franchise.

Originally The House of the Dead 1's final boss somehow kept coming back for more. We do have an handful of killers mostly licensed that can fly to a degree in Dead by Daylight. He is largely known for throwing orbs that can work during matches. I also think he'll float a little above the ground like an handful of killers.

The big request I must ask for if this crossover ever happens. They need to bring in Magician's theme song. Now that alone could bring in a lot of people especially Sega fans to the game. If they also could recreated a few game play aspects from the franchise. I do think this going to be a huge success for all parties involve.

Magician's main mori going to be overkill with the orbs. Of course, this would be a reference late into his boss fights. He also could blown them up with a single orb. I doubt they would allow one mori taking out more than one survivor. Although we are due for such a possibility in the game. Honestly, I do think having some of the sound effects would be deeply appreciated.

4. Dead Rising

Here's another huge franchise I really want to crossover with Dead by Daylight. Dead Rising is also from Capcom that owns Resident Evil. Although to a degree both franchises has zombies. Dead Rising differs plenty to being it's own franchise. I felt the best possible route for success is going with the original Dead Rising license.

Assuming Capcom likely going to give the team the newer designs for the characters. I am expecting to see Dead Rising: Deluxe Remaster being the basis for this crossover. Which also means the survivor going to be Frank West. The franchise also known for so many possible outfits to wear during game play.

Yes they do allow male characters to dress up like children or women I'm very serious!!! There's more possible killer choices to pick from. It ultimately depends if they're going with someone essential to the viral outbreak or a popular optional psychopath? Let's be honest, they easily could go both ways. For the more critical villain characters going to be between Carlito and Brock.

Carlito's village was destroyed because of an unit from the United States that caused a viral outbreak. This caused him to seek revenge by causing the same viral outbreak across the United States. Brock was the leader of that unit responsible for destroying Carlito's village. Later with an unit to a mall to destroy all proof of what happened.

The most popular optional killer in the game hands down possibly the entire franchise is Adam the Clown. Yes I know some people getting tired of killer clowns coming to the game. But he differs from the other two killer clowns enough to be a vastly different experience. In all honestly, I think if they want success in this crossover he's my choice for the killer.

I also know that's going to raise a few questions. Why not either of the essential villain characters in the story? If they are going by popularity Adam the Clown has both of them beaten. The franchise kept doing something with the character in some form including Yes he also would be wielding two small chainsaws.

In itself some would be asking how he going to differ from the other chainsaw killers in the game? For starters, small chainsaws can be used by swinging like an melee weapon. Also he could swap swinging between the two small chainsaws during matches. Adam the Clown also could be giving a throwing weapon like The Trickster.

His main mori would use both small chainsaws on the survivors. It would be a lot of fun if his entire arsenal had their own moris as well. Which indirectly plays into the combo weapons system of the franchise. I do think Adam the Clown would be so much fun during matches. Especially if they get either voice actors from the more successful Dead Rising game appearances of the character.

This might be just me, he really does look like a real clown. Juist like Pennywise in It mini series back in the 90s. I do think that by itself going to scare a lot of people. There's a few possible cosmetics the character could use. I am not sure if they would do anything with his brother Evan the Clown? Considering he only appeared in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record that's non canon.

If they get either voice actor that people loved voiced Frank to reprise the role would be a good long way. Adam also could be given his blowing up a balloon move as well. Personally I hope he maintains breathing fire move for the game. I been waiting for such an ability come into Dead by Daylight. It also would be nice if a notable section of the mall came into the game as a map.

I also would love for some of the songs from the game being used in some way as well. Dead Rising always meant so much to me. I really would love some of the smaller, notable game play aspects gets in. I even felt it's among the best franchises that could work perfectly for Dead by Daylight. There's so much possible fan service to the point why haven't this crossover didn't happen yet?

5. Batman

The oldest franchise I selected in that DbD survey was Batman. We're talking about a comic book franchise that goes all the way back to 1929. There's a ridiculous amount of content they easily could choose from. I know some people were a little confused to see Batman within the listing. There's a huge amount of the variety that easily ties into Dead by Daylight.

If they wanna go the lighter route like Scooby-Doo that's also a slam dunk waiting to happen!!! There's a few possible survivor choices depending which versions of the characters. Yes this also makes the entire process quite overwhelming for some people. I do think if they wanna go the most iconic route possible.

Bruce Wayne needs to be the survivor there's no disputing that. The killer easily could be among his biggest enemies. An handful I noticed people were requesting. Like Man-Bat was a little surprising honestly. Like Marvel's The Lizard, he was a scientist that experimented with animal DNA. Unlike The Lizard, he transformed into a giant humanoid bat creature.

I don't mean to throw salt at this but we already gotten a more fitting killer that transforms into a bat. Castlevania's Dracula had a lot more going for him. I felt my top three choices are Clayface, Joker and Scarecrow respectively. Joker is among the most evil Batman villains to date. There's even a few lines the Clown Prince of Crime won't cross!!!

Joker could be done in many possible ways. They easily could go a more trap theme. There's a few trap theme killers in the game. He easily be given gadgets that throws off survivors. His main mori likely would be Joker Venom causing them to laugh to death. I do think Joker would be able to swap out his arsenal during matches.

They easily could play off so many versions of the characters. Batman 1989 movie, The Dark Knight, Batman: Arkham series and many others to count!!! I do see many ways how Joker could work amazingly well in Dead by Daylight. Out of respect, he just isn't my top choice for a crossover with the franchise here.

They also could've given him a legacy skin of The Batman Who Laughs. In some ways actually worst than him surprisingly enough!!! Clayface has two major obstacles that gets into the character's way. A lot of people shared the mantle of Clayface over the years. They would need to decide which one to bring into the game?

Right now being between Basil Karlo and Matt Hagen. The two most famous people to share the mantle. Karlo is more overall adapted into things. But if the upcoming Clayface movie does well, they could side with Hagen instead. It's safe to say the rest of them not up for consideration. I do think the unique shape shift regardless which one going to be truly fun during matches.

I think his main mori going to be forcing survivors inside of him to drown. There's a huge chance they might have the character shape shift one of his arms into a huge melee weapon. Slamming down a few times on the fallen survivor. Either way, Clayface isn't going to be pleasant in taking out the survivors. A few possible cosmetics including the other Clayface characters.

Clayface can easily mimic another survivor including voices. He easily could become a giant ball rolling around the map or travel around in a liquid form. The character also can use it to form melee or bladed weapons. Joker may win in popularity among the three Batman villains. Yet my actual top choice for the killer actually Scarecrow.

Scarecrow is largely known for causing people to freak out in fear. Over the years, he has many methods to expose you to his fear toxin. I really felt this aspects could spice up the game play a lot. The Doctor creates illusions of himself if survivors are too insane during matches. They also have an handful of killers forcing survivors to search around for cures in some form.

In this case, he would expose them to their worst fears. Which going to be quite ambitious to pull off if done right. It would be very time consuming to have every single survivor see something only they could see. At the same time, this constantly causes them to become more afraid. Which also make some perks more effective than they previously were.

Scarecrow could have two different weapons. In his right hand wielding an scythe. His left hand having needles he can easily inject into people. I am not sure where that concept originally. I first seen it in Batman: Arkham Asylum that started to get used more often with the character. He's also widely known changing out his appearances.

Which means he's great for cosmetics with some being notably scarier than others. Also considering Dead by Daylight represents many forms of fear, he fits in amazingly well. Scarecrow easily could work better than the  rest of the Batman villains for this crossover. They easily could go a slightly different route with Scarecrow still being the killer.

Scarecrow was among many recurring villains on the show Gotham. This also would mean Jim Gordon has to be the survivor of that chapter. They also could do Batman: Arkham Knight route considering he was the main antagonist in that Batman game. At one point, Scarecrow was given an Sinestro Corp ring that represents fear.

A big if they might give the character that ring could make matches more interesting. Any lantern ring works with a particular emotion while using the imagination of it's user. Which means Scarecrow can easily go offense or defense with this ring. They easily change the game into such unique with this concept alone!!!

Batman also has a ridiculous amount of possible cosmetics he could be given. In a couple of Batman games, there's a lot of them he could be wearing during game play. There's a few possible locations that could serve as a map. If I were given the choice though Arkham Asylum. Partly due to how much I absolutely loved Batman: Arkham Asylum game.

I also wanna point out some possible horror versions of Batman. Some people might not be aware of that exist. There exists a zombie Batman that's a couple years ago. There's a few vampire versions of the character. More of a what if is a Man-Bat variation of the character. This is excluding stuff like Ninja Batman or Azetc Batman either.

I also should point a possible Batman Beyond chapter set up. Which takes place in a distant future from most things Batman. But in my opinion one of the most awesome versions of the franchise to date. The survivor would be Terry McGinnis who took up the mantle from Bruce on the cartoon show version. Yes there's a huge variety of villain characters to pick from.

McGinnis' nemesis was Derek Powers aka Blight. He is walking radiation sickness that used treatments to disguise his true appearance. Which is a glowing skeleton appearance that's similar to radiated ghouls in Fallout franchise but a bit worst. His touch easily could be used as his main attack in the game. His secondary attack is firing blasts at the survivors.

He could do some horrific things to people from his radiation. Yes an handful of killers played of diseases to a degree. We still haven't had the survivor directly deal with nuclear before. Which could be rather interesting in Dead by Daylight. I do think this chapter also could be a huge success as well. I'm sure they have a great idea which sections of the franchise to not go for.

For some of those, there's loop holes to get around them while using the better aspects at the same time. I do think Batwoman show or either newer adaptations of Gotham Knights shouldn't be used. I strongly felt those would end badly for all parties involve. Even if they were to do an cosmetics collections route.

Another unique direction they could go is Mr. Freeze from Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero movie direction. Both characters directly pulled from the critically acclaimed Batman cartoon show. Also among the first animated Batman movies. Mr. Freeze is trying to save his wife in most versions of the franchise.

Yes it's tragic the character desperately tries to save his wife. He also does a lot of terrible things to do for that cause. Being a person that only can survive in extreme cold temperature removed a lot of his humanity. Mr. Freeze would have his freezing gun. He also would be allowed to directly punch the survivors.

They easily could do a few possible moris including his freezing gun. I know the late Kevin Conroy passed away. But I still believe they could do a lot with this version of the crossover. People would be happier not being reminded of Batman & Robin movie with Schwarzenegger. I do think Mr. Freeze could be quite terrifying to a lot of people.

Another possible route is The Batman movie, not to be confused with the Batman cartoon show of the same name. The killer would be The Riddler whose more like Jigsaw from Saw series. One of many horror franchises that crossed over into Dead by Daylight. I do think they could differ him from John Kramer while keep things interesting at the same time.

The Riddler could have a few possible cosmetics. If the actor reprises the role it's a slam dunk!!! They easily could throw in riddles during matches. Adding in quick decision choices mechanic into matches. If answered correctly will help the survivor in some way. However if they answered incorrectly something bad going to happen to them.

The Riddler widely known for testing wits with Batman. I largely would love to see the team recreate that in some form here. I did love this version of the character more than expected. A few possible moris referencing several scenes from the movie. I do think this could speak volumes in it's greatness!!! I just kept giving people many possible ways for Batman to crossover into Dead by Daylight.

This particular location is heavily used in majority of the franchise. Yes I know we technically have a few medical theme location maps in the game. But this also tie in so many things for a crossover. I am really positive this crossover going to be among their most successful in history. The team could go in any possible direction it's virtually endless amount of possibilities just like DC multiverse itself.

Conclusion

I do have a few more licensed chapter ideas to easily do a few possible follow up entries. I personally had a lot of fun writing all of this. Yes Batman is among my most wanted to date. I do believe people really would drop everything to play that particular chapter as soon as it drops. Honestly, I hope anyone enjoys reading this, it does mean a lot to me.

What are the differences between The Thing and Parasyte aliens?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I recently been thinking about this topic for a little while. I do think a lot of people don't fully know the differences between The Thing and Parasyte aliens. For some people this is going to be a rather interesting entry indeed.

First we got to talk about what they have in common? Both are shape shifting aliens that could blend in with humans as well as creatures. At their core they're are parasitic aliens. Now I can discuss how these aliens differ from each other. Officially The Thing is one mind that can control multiple bodies like a hive mind.

Parasyte aliens started life as worms that felt from the sky. Thus, there's a lot more of these alien creatures in the world. The Thing can fully assimilate with other life forms effectively overwriting DNA in the process. Parasyte aliens as worms force themselves through living beings' bodies to get to the brain. If successful they devour the brain effectively killing them while claiming their bodies as their own.

There's an handful of cases, they failed to fully claim a human's body like Migi. The Thing has more actual shape shifting to quickly alter itself on the fly. Parasyte aliens have their heads that shape shift to a degree. Either they do devouring or fighting that notably differs. Devour is like predators in the wild that waits until their prey gets too close to eat them.

If they're fighting they shape shift pieces of the head into a few tentacles with blades. They violently slashing towards prey or enemies while having battle IQ. The Thing can easily withstand bullets as well as piercing weapons while Parasyte aliens can't. It is possible for Parasyte aliens to have babies that turn out to be humans. Yes this was revealed in the actual manga/anime story.

It's also possible for some Parasyte aliens to mimic humans to improve blending in like Reiko Tamura. Another critical difference is The Thing prefers being in very cold environments. In vice versa, Parasyte aliens are around the world mostly covering Japan in the story. The Thing is vulnerable to fire as well as acid which are common weaknesses for shape shifting characters.

The Thing is mimicking other live forms while Parasyte aliens using their bodies. This is also why Parasyte aliens more vulnerable to things that can't harm The Thing. Despite that, Parasyte aliens has a notably higher body count that we know of. You are more likely going to run into them than The Thing. Some of this must be putting chills down some of your spines by now.

Parasyte aliens can sense each other over notable distances as proven by Migi. It is possible as a desperate attempt to survive. Some could escape the previous host to try going inside another living being. If failed the alien will die shortly afterwards. They are heavily depended on having a host to survive. Parasyte aliens can easily move faster than a human eye can see.

In many cases, the victims realized too late they're about to die within seconds. The Thing is more about going after members of a group in private while most Parasyte aliens doesn't care at all. There was a situation several of them took on armed humans killing a lot of them in the process with ease. Prior, on a daily basis murders kept showing up on the news.

Parasyte aliens are more prepare to fight for their lifes. Their true forms is notably tougher than humans. They got superior overall senses than The Thing. They really pay attention to nearly everything during intense fights at a scary fast rate. This also means if you attempt getting in close alone you'll die horribly.

Parasyte aliens prefer to keep enemies at a distance. They easily could rip you apart when you're too close. They also can easily defend against methods that could kill them as well. Parasyte aliens heavily rely on their tentacles during fights. Yes their tentacles can reach a couple feet from their bodies. Essentially you're facing an apex predator.

The Thing is more of a long term strategist while it depends which Parasyte aliens we're talking about? Most of them are like wild animals feeding off humans. Which is similar to Tokyo Ghoul with ghouls before anyone gets to say it. Parasyte aliens kept avoiding humans going to war with them. There's a few possible factors including fear that plays into that.

The Thing can differ in size with the smallest being microscopic it can survive. It also with enough mass can become a giant monster like at the end of The Thing game. The Thing arrived on Earth with a few teams found it's space ship hidden deep in the ice of Antarctica. It's unclear why Parasyte worms fell from the sky though.

Parasyte aliens have a similar personality. Yes some of them are in some powerful positions in the world. There's a secret group filled with them working together. Parasyte also knowledge about nutrition better than health experts. The Thing is more trying to survive while Parasyte aliens rather get rid of humans from the world.

Conclusion

I bet a lot of people didn't expect they were that different from each other. It won't ruin anything if Dead by Daylight gets both franchises either. I do think this might get more people on board with getting Parasyte there. To a degree, both stories play on paranoia. They easily could mimic anyone especially those close to you.

Easily two of the scariest aliens in fiction I ever heard of!!! Funny enough for vastly different reasons. The Thing is more unpredictable while Parasyte aliens more willing to go in for the kill. It's safe to say both alien species are rather intelligent. The Thing is only in one location while Parasyte aliens are around the world!!!

The Thing does more actual shape shifting to survive death or some rather unpleasant situations. Parasyte Aliens are more prepare for combat as well as quick kills. I never said anything about stealth either. The Thing is trickier to kill off while trying to survive an Parasyte alien notably more difficult. Shinichi with Migi up to a point were the only ones killing those aliens.

Parasyte differs plenty to not be a direct rip off of The Thing. More so than The Operator is to Slenderman respectively. The Thing is a terrifying alien in it's own right. The same also could be said for Parasyte aliens. I felt Parasyte aliens is a bit more terrifying though. They have everything you don't want The Thing to have.

Revealing Franchises from Dead by Daylight's new Licenses survey I don't support

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I know I talked a great deal about the franchises I support possibly coming to Dead by Daylight. Recently I had a thought about the flip side of that. I won't sugar coat this some of my choices people may not like. Although I got reasons behind each franchise not getting selected.

To clarify, this isn't me covering all the franchises I didn't pick either. In particular, I will be discussing a couple of franchises that didn't line up with me. I know a lot of these are huge requests from the community. End of the day, we all have different taste in things.

Just like last time I will be covering every franchise in alphabet order. Which worked quite well once again here. I also would be interested in hearing franchises you couldn't support coming to Dead by Daylight. Regardless, it's take to rip off a series of bandages!!!

This won't include all the obvious joke choices in the survey either. I will say I did get a few quick laughs thank you!!! Also for a lot of other franchises I had even fewer close to nothing to say about them.

1. American Horror Story

There used to be a time I easily would've said yes to the franchise coming to the game. Ever since the season finale of Apocalypse season, the show been notably declining. Sure I could see several ways the franchise could fit in. I also would question if American Horror Stories being involve or not? I felt the perfect opportunity to go for it already passed.

American Horror Story was a rather unexpected take on horror anthology shows. Majority of the show took inspiration from terrible stuff that happened in real life. Of course, they had to spice it up with some fictional stuff for good measure. Even for a cosmetics collection I don't think it would do well right now.

2. American Psycho

Here's a particular movie I seen come up often for this game. Not to be confused with Psycho franchise. We have a business man that had such fantasies. I highly doubt the team wanna play on some of those. I will be brutally honest I can't think of a way this could work. Psycho had more to actually work with in comparison.

Also would The Entity be interested in someone who had these fantasies or not? It does bag the question if he would even get chosen or not? I don't even think a possible survivor route could work. The movie is widely known for these sick, twisted fantasies. I felt like they would have to add in something to get it to work I doubt it's possible though.

Update: I am aware there's a sequel called American Psycho II. But it's a rather loose sequel not great that originally wasn't a related movie. I'm very sure majority of people are asking for the original movie. Neither the author of the book or the director of the original movie confirmed. If Patrick Bateman killed anyone or it's all fantasies?

3. Assassin's Creed

I rather was surprised to see Assassin's Creed in the listing. To clarify, it's more of an open world historical action adventure video game franchise. WOW that's quite a mouthful indeed!!! In majority of the games, you play as descendants of classic assassins within history. It's mostly done through digital simulations based on accurate information of those events in history.

I highly doubt a lot of people wanna learn about history. Imagine The Matrix but more about historical events involving assassins. Sure this easily could've worked as a cosmetics collection. Some great choices for the survivors side. But I am struggling to properly imagine how this could work? For me it begs a lot of questions with not enough answers.

4. Candyman

This might turn some people off. I personally felt the perfect opportunity to go for the franchise passed. Not to mention, Tony Todd passed away doesn't make things easier. A lot of people don't want a different Candyman character hunting people. I also gotta mention the racism within the character's origin stories.

Yes I said origin stories because the first three movies changed how they played out. In one version, his soul connected to a small mirror. In another version, his soul is in a portrait of himself. It would bag the question which origin story would the team use? He already has some tough competition with Hellraiser's Pinhead in the game whose also created by the same author Clive Barker.

5. Final Fantasy

This was a particular franchise I literately scratched my head thinking. Final Fantasy really doesn't belong here!!! Look in many aspects, Final Fantasy could bring a lot to the game. The big issue is it's a notably lighter video game franchise with some dark moments. But not dark that's more like actual horror.

Power scaling is going to be a rather tricky one for the team to explain. I question if any of them could get taken by The Entity. Final Fantasy has a few unusual styles among the spin off games. Even considering those further kept leading me to a huge question mark. Final Fantasy simply does not belong in Dead by Daylight!!!

6. Granny

I do know a little about Granny game series. Officially it's three indie horror video games. Parts of the concept could work with Dead by Daylight. I don't know about the constant finding stuff as well as puzzles aspects. You get chased by mostly the elderly around a location. I'm still surprised Granny showed up in the listing in all honestly.

This is sorta like Bedroom from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. But you actually have more freedom to move around. I don't think they could use much from the franchise. There haven't been a game since Granny 3. I just don't see how Granny could work in this game at all. They would have a tricky time attempting to connect the lore into Dead by Daylight with little to go on.

7. I Know What You Did Last Summer

Not sure if this going to be considered a hot take or not I could care less. There's a few similarities to Scream including actress Sarah Michelle Gellar. To me, The Fisherman just wasn't that scary. The character's signature weapon is a huge hook. Some killers are simply scarier with hooks including Hellraiser's Pinhead.

I was even surprised the character showed up in Call of Duty. There's a few survivor choices with one being questionable. A huge spoiler, one of them became a killer in the newest movie. The craziest part is the author of the book of the same name never wanted a horror movie franchise especially slasher style. The franchise also made some questionable choices that weren't successful either.

8. M3GAN

I know for a fact this is going to be a hot take. I always been against M3GAN since the original movie. To me, it's a cheap female knock off of Child's Play remake. Then the second movie completely changed genres. I'm not sure how much of the character counts towards horror? I have slightly more respect for her than Brahms: The Boy II.

She was briefly parodied in the new Scary Movie film. There's also an upcoming spin off movie called Soulm8te. I will be brutally honest I don't see how this franchise could work here. Yes I'm aware the actress for M3GAN's voice is interested in a crossover hell no!!! I personally view the character might work best as a legacy skin of Chucky since both owned by Universal.

9. Obsession

Before I go into why I'm against Obsession doing an crossover with Dead by Daylight. I do have some respect for the horror movie. For an indie horror movie to do this well at the box office is truly amazing. It was a rather unique take on a concept being wishes. It reminded me of a particular episode of Tales from the Crypt show. Where a man gets a potion to make a woman fall in love with him.

Which caused her to become dangerously obsessed about him. Which led to the man's death in both cases. I simply can't get behind any character from this movie to be in Dead by Daylight. I question if The Entity could alter someone being forced to do things because of a wish. I personally don't see any possible way Obsession could work in Dead by Daylight.

10. Poppy Playtime

Another famous mascot indie horror game franchise. There's some aspects I could see tie into Dead by Daylight. To be honest though, I felt a lot of those are quite a stretch. Poppy involves toys that used to be people in a more unexpected weird way from Chucky. The actual look of the franchise might be a little too tricky to tie in with.

Poppy Playtime is heavily about discovering what happened? I felt most of what may appeal to people may not be exactly what the team looking for in a crossover. At best, I could see a possible cosmetics collection. I'm not sure if any of the characters could actually represent both sides in the game. To a degree I could see more ways how Bendy game franchise could work more with Dead by Daylight.

11. Portal

To clarify, this is the famous game franchise from Valve. Previously they done a crossover with Left 4 Dead franchise that's owned by them. I got to be brutally honest I don't see how this could work here? Portal isn't necessary a horror game franchise. It is largely about using portals to solve some rather frustrating puzzles.

Speaking of teleportation, there's a few methods in Dead by Daylight. Including Black Banquet event that's going on right now. I doubt they would give survivors either portal guns. If even if they did that, two of them would need the opposite portal guns to properly teleport between locations. Even considering the famous AI itself I don't think Portal could work in Dead by Daylight at all!!!

12. Splinter Cell

Here's another franchise that can't properly fit into Dead by Daylight. Splinter Cell is a famous stealth action adventure game franchise. For a time was among Metal Gear's greatest rivals. Splinter Cell is notably more realistic to a fault. I could see a possible cosmetics collection. Sam Fisher actually could work as a survivor.

I even question that since he would've faced a huge variety of beings!!! At least, in Lara Croft's defense, she fought more of a variety in comparison. For me this was a huge question mark. Splinter Cell could tie into the stealth trying to sneak past the killers. But in all honestly, that's the one thing it has going for the franchise.

13. Squid Game

I'm not even sure what the reception for this going to be once again I could care less. Squid Game centers around a few hundred people competing for a ridiculous amount of money. At the cost of so many lifes through dangerous takes on kid games. I actually have a lot of problems with this franchise crossing over with Dead by Daylight.

In Dead by Daylight, survivors do die but lose a portion of their soul before getting revived. In Squid Game, you are dead period!!! How many people going to take parts of the concept seriously? Not only that, this would make more sense to appear in actual competition theme video games. Even considering a few categories it could do something for just does not work here!!!

14. Street Fighter

The only Capcom franchise I couldn't sign on for a crossover with Dead by Daylight. Street Fighter easily could've the cosmetics. In all honestly, everything else just doesn't work enough. There's a small variety of beings in Street Fighter to begin with. Even considering the darker Street Fighter stuff isn't dark enough.

I highly doubt they would allow a survivor fight a killer as in a fighting game either. They easily could bring in a map but majority of possible locations isn't compatible enough with Dead by Daylight. Street Fighter has a long notable history with crossovers including Fortnite. But I don't think Capcom would gain much by doing this particular crossover.

15. The Boys

I recently been seeing people requesting The Boys to crossover with Dead by Daylight. I may went with several comic book franchises in the survey. It doesn't mean all of them gets a free pass. The Boys was inspired by both Marvel and DC to a degree that isn't even close to how insane their cosmic scaling!!! I noticed a lot of people wants Homelander to be a killer.

Sure he does meet the requirements to being the killer. At the same time, why no one going for Brightborn instead? Whose also an evil alternative take on the Superman concept in an actual horror movie? I will be honest, I don't think there's much they actually could do with an crossover. The Boys would work best as a cosmetics collection that likely won't be worth the effort to make.

16. The Purge

I'm quite familiar with The Purge franchise. A possible cosmetics collection for The Legion. Among the most realistic franchises in the entire listing. The Purge in all honestly can't work in Dead by Daylight. They would have to break a few key reasons to do just that. More recently, people worried governments might actually do the concept in real life making it quite risky to go for.

Sure there's some notable choices for both sides. But it heavily plays off being political with a twisted take of religion. Two topics that often leaves to unpleasant arguments. Not only that, they would have to increase the amount of players higher than 2v8 mode for this. I highly doubt they allow either side having guns as well as explosives.

The Purge would've forced Dead by Daylight into becoming something it's not. If we get any actual lore going to be a similar situation to Assassin's Creed franchise. The Purge is more of a few genres carefully mixed together. To the point, I actually could question how much of it counts towards being horror? You can tell this was among a huge NO for me.

Conclusion

Some of these quickly makes sense why I can't support them. I know some might disagree with a couple franchises I didn't selected for the survey. I also know everyone having different taste had similar feelings towards other franchises. No I'm calling any of them cowards for not saying anything either. Personally I wanted to share my thoughts on the franchises I really couldn't select for that survey.

Also trying to a couple of them in just like The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror. In particular the most questionable parody stories like The Fat in the Hat largely parodying The Cat in the Hat. I really didn't wanna give myself a head ache trying to bridge those franchises into Dead by Daylight. I just hope you viewed my arguments before you comment either side of the discussion you're on.

Whose my Favorite Addams Family character?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I figured since I talked about the new licenses survey for Dead by Daylight. I should talk a little more about a particular franchise. But more directly about my favorite character from that franchise I always want more of. Today I will be discussing The Addams Family as a whole rather than by particular versions.

Of course, I loved the family a lot with majority of my favorite characters. It's a little tricky to pick which one I love the most? Although I always knew who exactly was my favorite from a young age. I grew up with the two great movies in the 90s. Both of them focus around a particular member of the family. Fester Addams is my favorite character in The Addams Family.

Fester originally Morticia's uncle that later became her husband's brother. I don't fully know the story why that was changed. What I do know is I absolutely loved some of the actors' performances as the character. Especially Christopher Lloyd as Fester was really great!!! It's even funnier since Lloyd played Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future series.

He later played a live action version of Rick Sanchez from Rick & Morty. Suddenly made things even more interesting right? Fester always had a similar appearance across most of the franchise. He is a very pale man that's bald wearing a brown outfit. He's widely known for being the mad scientist of the family. Some versions often gets blown up or shock on a daily basis.

The crazy part is at times he enjoys such pain. I think he became Gomez's brother to make some situations more interesting. This also could've been done to have the character be around the family more. Fester easily steals the show in many versions of the franchise. Fester's intelligence differs between versions that somehow plays to his strengths.

I will speak a little of what I have seen of Wednesday show version. He's more of a clever criminal that used to be partners with Thing yes the hand character. To me, this is among the most interesting versions of the character. I was hoping for a particular professor whose played by Lloyd funny enough. They might recreate a moment from Back to the Future 2.

You know the scene where present Doc has a quick conversation with his past self. Yet he's careful to not reveal himself to his past self or one of two outcomes could occur. Doc wasn't chancing the bad outcome to happen. The past Doc was busy getting stuff ready to help get past Marty back home. The professor could be busy with stuff while Fester sneaking around while having a conversation with him.

Suddenly that moment goes full circle but someone else is Fester on the show. Yes I had this idea since I found out Lloyd came to the show trailer. Fester is among the kindest members of the family. At times among the most interesting depending on versions. At times, the craziest stuff happens because of him. Essentially in most of the franchise he's comic relief.

He acts as a missing link between the family. Some versions gets angrier than other versions. His main appearance being the most consistent aspect of the character. Fester is a surprisingly fun character in the franchise. He's even willing to do crazy things for fun or out of curiosity. At times, he tries to help his niece and more often his nephew.

It's no secret Pugsley is close to his uncle. Actually Wednesday show version inherited Fester's electricity manipulation. Fester kept being used as parts of the plot in most the movies. Like The Addams Family (1991 film), he lost his memories going by the name Gordon. In it's sequel Addams Family Values, Fester gets married to a serial killer.

She originally planned to kill him for the money. She forced Fester to stay away from the family. Both newer CGI animation movies done weird things with the character. For me, if Fester doesn't stand out it's not a good representation of the franchise. I know some might be a little funny about me saying that. People also were funny about Luis Guzman playing his brother Gomez.

The Addams Family was similar to The Munsters but being more goths than actual monsters. Of course, the two had some strong similarities. I think more people find The Addams Family a little more iconic while The Munsters being more unexpected. Fester is a character that's difficult to recreate. He's the family's crash dummy that had endured worst testing than the actual crash dummies.

If he were a wrestler he'll be like Mick Foley who had a notable history of getting hurt in matches. Plus more extreme because Fester often doesn't shy away from danger. He's literately willing to attempt recreate musician Bob Dylan going electric but more extreme!!! Fester is what helped kept the franchise around for a long time.

Fester could be exactly what you're expecting or you're about to get mind blown? I eventually wanna dress up as the character for an upcoming Halloween. Fester has a rather unusual style that works amazingly well. He's a timeless character that the world can't get enough of. You know it's going to be great when Fester plays a notable role in whatever it is.

Fester started in a few video games not great though. I would love for a newer Addams Family game to play as the character. It doesn't even need to be based on Wednesday show either. I simply wanna cause chaos as Fester with plenty to work with. This by itself could be a truly fun video game concept. Fester always meant a lot to me for a long time.

In any form of media, the character stands the test of time. Even the changes made doesn't take too much away from the character. Now that's proof Fester was a well thought out character as well as great writing. Originally The Addams Family started in comic strips. Some versions of the family is a little wackier than expected.

Fester is in majority of the franchise. I'm glad he isn't stealing the spotlight from his niece on Wednesday show. But he occasionally gets some rememberable moments there. Fester is a person you aren't sure about when you're around him. He's willing to do almost anything to help especially family. Just imagine he's the one setting off the fireworks you bet I wanna see that!!!!

He may say you're safe but in truth that's exactly when you should be afraid. Nearly every single time he says it's safe. Everyone knows it's the exact opposite about to happen. Some versions are a little harder to predict than others. I felt some of them are among the best written characters within those versions.

I bet a lot of people even as a legacy skin would really wanna play as Fester Addams in Dead by Daylight. I would go even further than what I previously said about everything. It might even be a little exclusive to this character that's how much I love Fester Addams. The very moment he gets announce coming to the game in some form.

This is a summary what's going to happen don't actually expect it to be done just like that. I plan to buy the game on Steam. I also plan to get a brand new computer with additional parts for better overall performance. I also plan to get a few dollars saved up to buy the character day one as soon as he becomes available I hope.

I'm willing to spend a lot of money with the game going through major changes included. I wanna go bigger just to play this one licensed character. I know some people are thinking that's a bit ridiculous. Ridiculous should've been Fester's middle name. Especially if it's the Christopher Lloyd version!!! Now I know right now Wednesday show version more likely going to show up.

Yes I do like that version a lot myself. But Lloyd version in particular was a major reason why I gotten into the franchise in the first place. You bet it really would mean the world to me to have that version in the game. Sadly it's more likely going to show up in Fortnite. Wednesday show already crossed over into that.

Fester is a character that works way better than anyone could've ever expected!!! The character often brings chaos with a side dish of a smile having the time of his life. He's the guy if he's in a great mood could easily bring more excitement to parties. I do think Fester is a character that always going to entertain people of all ages regardless which versions.

My thoughts on Dead by Daylight's new licenses survey

Warning this is going to be a very lengthy blog entry. Please take as many breaks as inhumanly possible you'll need it!!!

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I waited a few weeks to take part in Dead by Daylight's new survey. It actually was four of them you could choose between. Right now, a lot of people talking about new licenses survey. I don't plan to fully cover the entire survey from start to finish. Otherwise this would be a ridiculously long blog entry it's already going to be long to begin with.

I just wanna discuss the very section everyone talking about. I believe it's on the second page with a very long list of franchises. There's no limits how many you could mark off. You bet I picked a lot of franchises here!!! It's on the borderline of insanity after you fully see the lineup I chosen. Trust me when I say you are going to have a difficult time believing this!!!

I will be discussing every single franchise I chosen in alphabet order. Which strangely worked out way better than I expected. The lineup will quickly speak for itself after I take the time to go through them all. Obviously everyone having different tastes could pick a lot of franchises I wouldn't chosen, pick much fewer franchises or not do the survey at all.

1. A Quiet Place

I seen some of the movies with my wife. The concept of aliens that hunts by sound. Forcing survivors to communicate in a way the aliens won't know. There's a lot of potential what the team could do with the franchise. We are due for a killer that's designed like this.

I know we already have an Xenomorph from Alien franchise in the game. I do think these aliens differ enough to bring a rather unique experience. Some good survivor choices from the movies. I do think A Quiet Place is going to fit in surprisingly well. The only thing I would ask for is playing off finding survivors by sounds.

2. Among Us

I know this seems like a bit weird. Among Us has a crew with one or more secretly Imposters that plans to kill the crew. Cosmetics wise they might get a little creative. Considering it's a different style matches from Dead by Daylight. They could bring in some of it's aspects to make the characters fit in better.

Among Us was critical to a lot of people during COVID a couple years ago. I think to those people seeing these characters would mean a lot to them. They even could tie in to the show as well. Among Us easily would bring in a lot of people. Imposter could be added as a killer that could bring some uniqueness as well as paranoia.

3. Annabelle

Now I know Annabelle is actually from The Conjuring Universe. Which is the closest thing to a modern Universal Monsters cinematic universe. More directly I would be talking about the famous doll itself. The doll isn't actually possessed but rather used as an anchor to keep an demon in our world.

Annabelle quickly become one of the biggest horror franchises in years. I could see some possible cosmetics getting added. Obviously they could have someone carrying the doll during matches. At the moment, I don't think it could work by itself to be a full chapter or half chapter.

4. Batman

This might be a controversial choice. Batman has a notable history of dark stories. Some of his recurring enemies like Clayface could be terrifying to people. Considering how well Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight doing. They could go for so many versions of the franchise.

They easily go in a much lighter direction like Scooby-Doo or way darker? There's just something about Batman people just wants more of. I do see ways how Batman could do amazingly well in Dead by Daylight. Both sides having some amazing characters to choose from.

5. Beetlejuice

There's a few possible angles with Beetlejuice they could go for. For the younger audience, there was a Beetlejuice cartoon show. Which I do remembered watching growing up years ago. Obviously there's the original movie people absolutely loves!!!

More recently, there's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice bringing in newer looks to older characters. They also could bring in some of the newer characters. I personally would go for Lydia as my main survivor choice. Beetlejuice being a killer actually could be a lot of fun if the team gets creative about it.

6. Berserk

Yes I'm so glad Berserk is listed in the survey. Now here's a truly dark manga series that belongs to be in this game. Guts was an unusual strong man that literately went through Hell. There's a huge variety of creatures to keep things interesting. I really would love Berserker Guts being a legacy skin for The Knight.

There's some amazing cosmetic choices here. I don't think they would go for Griffith as a killer. But they still might bring in as a legacy skin for another killer. Berserk is still continuing despite the author passed away. I do think there's still enough fans that would be overjoyed to see the franchise cross over here.

7. BioShock

I always been a huge BioShock fan for a long time. I played both versions of the first two BioShock games. There's a few possible survivor choices with Elizabeth being my top choice. It depends if they want an villain character or another what if killer situation to happen?

Personally I have a great concept for a what if scenario that could work well. BioShock is largely known for an underwater city named Rapture. Which should be represented in a map. They actually could do so much with the franchise. Cosmetics could be truly sick as well.

8. Chainsaw Man

I know I'm going to be a broken record here. Chainsaw Man is one of my most wanted manga/anime franchises. There's a couple great ways to bridge Chainsaw Man into Dead by Daylight. Some possibly sick cosmetic choices. Denji easily my top survivor choice.

I actually have a few possible killer choices. I know Makima is heavily requested. I also felt Falling Devil could do amazingly well in this game. Both of them would change the game dramatically. Chainsaw Man in all honestly, is a must have franchise for this game.

9. Corpse Party

I will be honest, I know a little of the franchise. Majority of what I seen is difficult to look at horror stuff in a good way. I'm sure both sides would have some amazing choices especially cosmetics. Also it's a good franchise to let so many other licensors know their franchises also eventually join the game.

Corpse Party is a rather mess up concept even for a video game franchise. The art style if they recreate it enough going to blow people away. I also think a lot of people would quickly jump on cosmetics or characters from the franchise. It's not on a lot of people's radars yet it could make an unexpected huge impact!!!

10. Dangaronpa

Here's a crazy video game franchise not a lot of people knows about. Dangaronpa is like Ace Attorney games but the guilty will be given death sentences. A lot of the characters are surprisingly intelligent people. Occasionally, Monokuma shows up bringing despair to a degree.

The art style also would help bring in more people. But I also felt cosmetics going to be amazing. They easily could pick characters for both sides. Danganrona is a story based game giving the team plenty to work with. Especially altering their stories to how they gotten taken by The Entity could be more interesting than expected.

11. Darkstalkers

I'm so happy to see Darkstalkers in the listing. Now I know what some people going to say. It's a horror fighting game franchise yes that's true. But they have a few possible killers they could choose from. The roster is a huge variety of beings. Which is perfect for Dead by Daylight.

I doubt two video game companies agree to Demitri being a legacy skin for Dracula. I really think they could do a lot with the franchise. Darkstalkers always been my favorite Capcom fighting game franchise. As long it's not the terrible cartoon show, a lot of people going to love seeing the franchise here.

12. DCeased

This is basically DC comics does a full huge scale zombie story. This easily could bring in some amazing characters for both sides. Some truly sick cosmetics being a highlight here. Also considering they're adding in a zombies mode. This easily could be used to tie in with that.

DCeased could be the perfect angle for DC to team up with Dead by Daylight. Not only that, we still need more comic stuff added. Especially if they could recreate how these versions of the characters were drawn. I think a lot of DC fans wanna play this!!!

13. Dead Rising

Dead Rising differs from Resident Evil in many ways. A crossover would help confirm that to a lot of people. There's a few possible survivor choices with plenty on the killer side. There's a lot of possible outfits they could pull from the franchise. They even could create a few new cosmetics as well.

I also hope they could recreate some of the smaller game play aspects. Dead Rising has humor within the game play. Which could go a long way with a lot of people. A few possible maps they could pull from. Dead Rising is a franchise that could do amazingly well in Dead by Daylight.

14. Dead Space

Dead Space would help bring more space theme horror to the game. Isaac would be a great choice for the survivors. Not sure what could be chosen to represent the killer for this franchise. What I do know is recreating some game play mechanics. Easily makes this crossover a slam dunk!!!

Dead Space also could bring in some truly sick cosmetics. Even if it's just a cosmetics collection it'll do well. Although a full chapter could do wonders for this game. I do think Dead Space is big enough to bring in a lot of people. I would be curious to see how creativity they could get with the franchise myself.

15. Death Note

Death Note is an manga/anime franchise that meant a lot to me. There's some amazing characters on both sides they possibly could go for. I'm more curious to see how they possibly go about the cosmetics. Killers wise people are expecting either Light or Ryuk.

Both would use an death note that causes people to die. I know why even consider bringing this book into Dead by Daylight right? I have to ask the opposite question why the hell not? This book is among the most feared books in manga/anime history!!!

16. Demon Slayer

On the surface it might not quite line up. Demon Slayer was a popular manga/anime franchise. Which also had some truly impressive artwork. They have a more epic showcase of demons that might not be considered scary. But there's some possibly scary characters in the franchise.

I felt this would have a huge cosmetics appeal. Considering how well Tokyo Ghoul done with that. I do think Demon Slayer could even out do that. Demon Slayer easily bring in a lot of people. I don't think they could make a full chapter. But they still could get so much out of a crossover.

17. Devil May Cry

Speaking of demons, Devil May Cry could bring in a lot. Survivors would work better as legacy skin cosmetics. The killer could be a few possible villain characters including Dante's brother Vergil. There's a possible angle that could work as a full chapter.

Assuming they might go that route could give the fans a sick new intro to the game. If the characters reprise voice actors could bring in a lot of appeal. I don't think people wants the newer Netflix show version though. Same with DmC game as well but still plenty of great stuff to work with.

18. Dino Crisis

For me, this quickly became a must after I properly gotten into the first two games. The first Dino Crisis was a rather intense survival horror game. The second Dino Crisis being this unique arcade style action game. Similar to the first two Alien movies shifted genres.

I highly doubt people wants Dino Crisis 3 involved. They easily could pull in some amazing cosmetics. Regina would be the top choice for a survivor. There's a few possible angles if they wanna do a killer. Personally I would rather have a map more than an actual killer for this particular franchise.

19. DOOM

Of course I had to select DOOM!!! DOOM was among the first horror game franchises to get big. Yes it was more of a rather unique FPS game. But there was some notable horror aspects with newer entries having more horror elements. At the same time, Doom Slayer being a great survivor choice.

People would bring whatever they're doing to just play as this guy!!! There's a couple possible villain characters that could be the killer for the chapter. Even as a cosmetics collection, there's some truly sick ones available. DOOM also could have The Deathslinger helped in tie in the iconic FPS game franchise.

20. Fallout

Here's an franchise I have trouble properly getting into. But an handful of Fallout games notably changed my life!!! Fallout would bring in post apocalyptic theme to the game. There's plenty of characters on both sides to choose from. Not only that some truly sick cosmetics as well.

Fallout show also could help bring in people. I rather go more directly for the iconic video game franchise if I were them. A possible new map that could be so many locations in the franchise. I see truly ridiculous potential that's awaiting to be used for Dead by Daylight.

21. Fatal Frame

I know some people might not want Fatal Frame. Partly due to a few similar concepts they previously went for including Ringu. Some view some of these horror games among the absolute scariest they ever played!!! There's a few possible choices for the survivors.

I really hope they add in using a camera if the killer being one of it's many ghosts. Recently Fatal Frama crossed over with Silent Hill. This even could be used to bridge in Fatal Frame to Dead by Daylight. There's just this unsettling, spine chilling terror this franchise brings!!!

22. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

I was very surprised to see this among the many franchises listed. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is officially the second anime adaptation of the manga series. This actually more directly based on that story. The first anime was notably lighter while it actually more meant to be much darker!!!

There's plenty of great choices on both sides. Especially cosmetics that could bring in a lot of people. They easily could bring in so much with this franchise. I just don't want the live action movie versions to show up. I do think this anime would really bring in a lot of people if it's done just right.

23. Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters was among the most unexpected takes of a genre in history. It's more of a comedy horror movie franchise. Which also had a few cartoon shows giving the team a lot to work with. They are still making Ghostbusters movies. They easily could go more iconic with the older characters or go big on the newer ones?

Extreme Ghostbusters is among a few don't do for this crossover. There's a good variety of choices on both sides. Yes I'm aware there's online multiplayer Ghostbusters game. Ghostbusters is just something that brings people in. I would love to see what they could do with the franchise.

24. Ghosts 'n Goblins

I always welcome in more Capcom franchises. You knew I had to select Ghosts 'n Goblins. Yes let's get this out the way, a famously different video game franchise. Yet there's still plenty other aspects that could work perfectly in this game. The survivor choice is going to be Arthur.

It's a rather interesting debate who should be the killer from this franchise? I would like to see some of the game play aspects get recreated to a degree. I do think Capcom willing to go a little bigger than expected for this. Even as a cosmetics collection, this could do amazingly well.

25. Gremlins

I always been a huge Gremlins fan. I only seen the first two movies. But these creatures left such a huge impression on me. I actually think they got more than enough to go big on a full chapter. There's a few possible choices on both sides. Especially adding some amazing cosmetics.

Can you imagine playing as one of these things during a match? Yeah it would be a little similar to Chucky. I actually see the team getting quite creative with it. Gremlins also could get some sick original cosmetics. I really do think they could do so much with the franchise it's a must for me.

26. GWAR

This is mostly going to be a cosmetics. I'm not even sure if some members of the band agree to being added in as legacy skin characters. If you haven't seen the band, they have these sick costumes while they perform their songs!!! They just collaborated with a third band being Ice Nine Kills.

I could see some truly sick cosmetics coming to the game. It needs to be better than Slipknot collaboration!!! I wanna be wow when I see these cosmetics in the near future. A big if they could also add in skins based on Beavis & Butt-Head version of themselves.

27. Highschool of the Dead

Highschool of the Dead was an manga/anime franchise. Unfortunately just when it was about to get big. The author unexpectedly passed away that caused a notable hiatus. Slowly some crossovers started to show up. There's a couple possible survivor choices.

I don't think they have anyone major enough to be the killer. They often take on zombies being perfect for the new zombies mode. Cosmetics is going to be a highlight here. I do think if they could get the theme song. A lot of people would absolutely wanna play this!!!

28. It

Despite Stephen King may never allow more video games based on his stories or crossovers within other video games. There's so many people that really wants this chapter badly. Especially now with It: Welcome to Derry show. Right now, Pennywise is currently the most requested horror icon to date.

Pennywise would easily bring in so much!!! Some possible survivor choices with many possible cosmetics for Pennywise. Some rather unique killer game play that everyone needs to experience before they die!!! It's going to be something you just need to see with your own two eyes!!!

29. Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park now Jurassic World became a huge request for Dead by Daylight. People wants to be hunted by a dinosaur. I rather go with the Indoraptor since anyone could make an Raptor. Some great choices for the survivors. Some possible sick cosmetics that could get added in.

Jurassic Park could change enough of the overall experience. For someone truly unexpected that almost felt like a completely different game. Especially if they go with that hybrid dinosaur. A new map being somewhere from the franchise would guarantee millions of dollars I'm not kidding.

30. Kaiju No. 8

Kaiju No. 8 is an manga/anime franchise with a rather unexpected twist. The protagonist swallowed an insect to ended up getting the ability. He can become a giant monster to take on other giant monsters. I know this has some similarities with Attack on Titan.

Which they previously crossed over with. But I do think both sides has some possible choices. Even if they end up doing just cosmetics. I do think there's a lot of people interested in this franchise. Kaiju No. 8 also would help bringing in kaiju fans as well.

31. Marvel Zombies

Marvel Zombies was a rather unexpected what if story. Which quickly became it's own successful franchise even gotten it's own MCU show. The concept is more characters becoming zombies with not many living left. At one point, they crossed over with Evil Dead franchise.

Ash came to Dead by Daylight alone. But he also could help tie in Marvel Zombies. Assuming if Mr. Campbell willing to help with that. This would work best as a cosmetics collection. Some truly sick cosmetics that would be amazing. They also could be used for their zombies mode as well.

32. Metal Gear Solid

I know this is one of my most unexcepted choices. There's a few aspects that sorta plays into horror. This is more of a heavily story driven action stealth game franchise. A rather iconic one at that easily doing wonders here. Unfortunately, Hideo Kojima won't be involved that takes a lot of the appeal away.

There's still insane potential they possibly could go for. On both sides some truly fantastic characters to choose from. A lot of possible cosmetics for both sides that could help bring in a lot of people. I really do think this is going to be way better than Metal Gear Survive not sorry!!!

33. Mortal Kombat

Yes Mortal Kombat is for the most part a huge name fighting game franchise. There's a huge variety of beings from many realms in the series. Plenty of great choices on both sides to choose from. The newer entries added in customization further increased cosmetics appeal!!!

Everyone knows Mortal Kombat has some truly difficult to watch finishers. They had a few horror icons like Freddy, Jason, Leatherface and Ghostface respectively. Which easily could be used to help tie into Dead by Daylight. I really do believe Mortal Kombat could so much for this game!!!

34. Onimusha

Onimusha is a Capcom franchise that came back. There's a new entry on the way soon. Onimusha has some possible choices on both sides. I do believe the cosmetics going to be a highlight here. Onimusha easily would help bring in more people. I know this seem like a weird odd choice at first.

I do think Onimusha could work better than expected. Not only that, if they go a full chapter route. A new sick intro for the game as well. I could see a sick Onimusha inspired skin for The Oni. This also would help in bringing more cultures. Onimusha could be huge success for the game.

35. Parasite Eve

Originally a book that gotten a movie. Which ended up getting a horror RPG video game franchise. Like Resident Evil, Parasite Eve plays on DNA especially mutation. I felt it's very obvious which characters to go for on both sides. Some possibly sick cosmetics could bring a lot to the experience.

Parasite Eve was like Resident Evil but having RPG elements to a degree. It would be amazing if they somehow could recreate of that game play mechanics. Parasite Eve could possibly bring in a lot of people as well. If Square Enix goes big, this could bring back the video game franchise soon.

36. Parasyte

Parasyte was inspired by The Thing (1982 film) while some notably changes to the concept. These aliens were a lot faster with superior senses. Despite most being primitive are surprisingly clever monsters. Shinichi needs to be the survivor for this chapter.

There's a few possible choices for the killer. I do think cosmetics going to be a highlight. Especially if The Thing isn't in the game yet. This could help convince Universal to make that crossover happen. Parasyte somehow made several aspects of The Thing even scarier!!!

37. Persona

Persona is a huge unique RPG video game franchise. The concept involves people in the internet more like actually inside a digital world. Not only they gain powers they also gain personas that all differ in what they do. It's more like a more awesome Digimon that's somehow even more epic!!!

There are some possible horror aspects but the story telling is amazing stuff!!! Plenty of characters to choose from on both sides. Some truly great cosmetics they possibly could go for. Persona would do more than change the game. It would be two completely different games in a row into something truly amazing level stuff!!!

38. Predator

Here's one of the most requested movie franchises to date for the team. Predator is such a huge franchise with many possible angles they could do it in. Right now it heavily depends which variation Disney willing to hand over to the team? I doubt we get some old and new thrown together.

Although if that were to happen come be something absolutely amazing!!! Predator easily could be a rather unique trap theme killer. Some brutal moris you could do during matches. A few great survivor choices from. I do think everyone would drop what they're doing to play Predator in this game!!!

39. Scary Movie

I'm not surprised because people freaked out the game cameo in Scary Movie (2026) aka Scary Movie 6. There's a few possible survivors with Cindy being the top choice. They also have a few possible killer choices as well. A lot of franchises already in Dead by Daylight they parodied.

They already gotten the famous Ghostface mask from the original Scary Movie film. I would love to see some cosmetics as well. Scary Movie would be a great one to help bring in more people. I also think the Wayans being involved it's going to be a great crossover.

40. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

I was a little surprised to see this franchise. It was a rather unusual take for a ghost story. Every victim would have their greatest fears coming after them. This ghost was capable of exposing fear in a way you won't forget. This would work best as a cosmetics collection.

Although there's a few possible survivor choices. I'm not sure how they would go about the ghost in this game. There's a few spirits among the killers to clarify. I do think a new map could help bring in the franchise. I also think the lore for the crossover could be among the most interesting aspects.

41. Scream

No surprise of course I had to pick Scream. I don't think they would go for any of the actual killers. There's a few possible survivor choices with Sidney being the top choice. A new map also could help to a degree since Ghostface already in the game. Scream would just need to cover everything else.

This easily should be a slam dunk. One of the most iconic slasher horror movie franchises in history. There's some room for a few possible cosmetics as well. I do think Scream even as a half chapter could do well. It's just weird Scream still not fully in the game yet.

42. Shaun of the Dead

Shaun of the Dead was a surprisingly funny comedy horror parody movie. Also part of a rather unusual trilogy of movies with two actors shared between them. Obviously this could tie in so well to their zombies mode. Shaun needs to be the survivor for the crossover hands down!!!

Some possible comical cosmetics like Zombie Ed would be my favorite. A big if a possible new map could come along with some of these characters. Shaun of the Dead also bring in more humor that somehow ties in perfectly. I actually would drop everything to play anything pulled from that zombie movie honestly.

43. Slender Man

Slender Man is the most requested creepy pasta character for the game. Dating back to 2009 with so many indie video games. Very few of which are officially licensed video games. There also was a popular YouTube web show with a different take of the creature.

I don't think we're getting a survivor with this crossover. Obviously Slender Man in some form belongs in this game. Also this would help bring in more indie horror franchises. A few possible cosmetics for the creature. I do think the demand is big enough to justify just him coming to the game going to be huge success!!!

44. Smile

I only seen the first Smile movie. A few days ago, Smile 3 confirmed to be in production. Smile is a rather unusual take on a concept. Essentially the entity in question is a demon. This thing occasionally shape shifts to do such awkward smiling that's beyond creepy.

There's a few possible survivor choices. I don't know how they would have you play as this thing in all honestly. I do however see some rather twisted cosmetics. Including that smile that's very unsettling. At the moment, I think it would work better as a cosmetics collection than a full or half chapter for the game.

45. Spawn

I know to a degree I need to explain why I selected Spawn? Yes Spawn is a comic book franchise with several adaptations. Not to mention, some very strong similarities with Marvel comics' Ghost Rider. Al Simmons hands down deserves to be the survivor in this game minus his entire arsenal.

Spawn fought a huge variety of beings. Some of the villain characters especially The Violator are true monsters!!! Yes that guy is my top choice for the killer side. I personally would like a map that goes to and from Hell. I also think cosmetics especially with Todd McFarlane involved going to be really sick!!!

46. Spider-Man

I will be honest I was close to not selecting Spider-Man. Then I realized there's a good amount they actually could pull from. More recently I'm seeing people wanting Carnage in the game, so do I!!! An handful of his recurring enemies could easily be selected for the killers side.

There's a few decent survivor choices to pick from. I also think the cosmetics going to be amazing!!! Spider-Man is such a huge Marvel franchise. An handful of Spider-Man stuff would easily become their top sellers. Just imagine going full chapter with this franchise could do?

47. Supernatural

Supernatural was one of The CW's longest ran shows. Two brothers that's hunters that take on virtually anything you possibly could name. There's so many characters on both sides to choose from. Cosmetics is going to be among the most discussed in history of this game.

Supernatural had so many ridiculous possibilities. Yet everything is perfect to bridge into Dead by Daylight. It's also true some spin off shows weren't as successful. Supernatural had a lot of books the show does referenced to a degree. This is among my most wanted show crossovers for the game currently.

48. Terminator

I know this might be seen as a huge stretch!!! Some people do fear the future to a degree. Indirectly it plays on the famous Y2K thing from the early 2000s. There's plenty of characters on both sides to choose from. Cosmetics are going to be in such huge demand especially if Schwarzenegger and Patrick gets involved.

I would've chosen Sarah Connor as the survivor with T-1000 being the killer. Terminator 2: Judgment Day still the most popular entry in the franchise. I felt it just makes sense to go big on that Terminator movie!!! A new map could help a little bit. Ultimately what we actually need is some unique mechanics getting added in.

49. The Addams Family

I don't know if they included Wednesday show into this or not. One of the last surveys that asked about franchises had both listed separately. The concept involves a rather unusual family that are very kind despite their life styles. More seen as a comedy series including it's adaptations.

Wednesday show would work better as a full chapter. The Addams Family would work better as a cosmetics collection with so many versions to choose from. For me, it would be absolutely a lot to see this crossover happen in some form. The Addams Family would easily bring in a lot of people.

50. The Backrooms

The Backrooms was a famous creepy pasta concept about entered a room that's infinite in scope. Similar to SCP series' Infinite Ikea in a few ways. Both has an unusual entities humans could encounter. People gets lost as well as afraid plays into many situations.

I'm not sure if the team could do justice with recreating the location. There's a lot of video games based on this concept. More recently, a very successful indie horror movie based on it. It might be the right level of weird to get some more people into Dead by Daylight.

51. The Conjuring

The Conjuring is a successful horror cinematic universe. The modern day counterpart to Universal Monsters. It started with a couple that ended up being the connection to many supernatural entities. I do see a lot of requests for this particular crossover to happen.

The Conjuring easily could pull from Annabelle but more. This easily has plenty to justify a full chapter. There's a few possible survivors with the couple being the top choices. Everyone wants a particular demon that's in The Nun series to be the killer. I actually think this could be a very successful crossover if it ever happens!!!

52. The Crow

The Crow is essentially at it's core a series of stories. Each having a different protagonist that died with someone they loved. They ended up being revived with powers to get their vengeance against a group of people. I know some people might question if any of the protagonists could be the survivors.

I do think there's a couple decent villain characters that easily be on the killers side. The Crow was a rather unusual take on comic book stories. I don't think people wants a few movies involve with the crossover. I do think The Crow could justify as a cosmetics collection as a backup plan.

53. The Dark Tower

Here's a rather ambitious franchise to go for. The Dark Tower is about a man named Roland journey to reach the Dark Tower. Roland gotten to explore a few universes on this journey. I know a big if Stephen King say yes. Considering every story King written that's connected together.

The Dark Tower could easily bridge into Dead by Daylight perfectly!!! Roland is the obvious survivor choice with a few other characters. The Man in Black would be the killer who has many names including Randall Flagg from The Stand. Even a cosmetics collection would be in huge demand as well.

54. The House of the Dead

The House of the Dead wasn't a franchise I expected to see listed honestly. A horror light gun game franchise with zombies. Of course, they easily could tie into the new zombies mode with this. There's plenty characters on the survivors side to choose from.

It's a bit debatable who should represent the killer side from this franchise. What we do know it could work as an half chapter. I don't think Sega could go bigger than that. We may even have to accept a possible cosmetics collection. As long they don't pull from the movies I think everyone going to be happy.

55. The Nun

Similar to Annabelle, I don't think The Nun would work well on it's own. At the moment, the cosmetics could be better than what Annabelle could be offering. This could work as an half chapter with the demon. But I don't know for a full chapter even with an obvious survivor choice.

The Nun would bring in religion to the game. Which might possibly offend some religious people. Otherwise, I do think The Nun could still do fine. I really wish I could make a better argument. In all honestly, what's keeping people interested is that demon!!!

56. The Return of the Living Dead

I really was surprised to see The Return of the Living Dead on the listing. The movies notably differ in quality from each other. The last two more recent entries are more connected together. I felt the first two entries would be the best for this crossover.

There's a few possible survivors to choose from. I don't think even Tar Man would be the killer. But it also could tie in with their zombies mode. The earlier entries were more comical horror that quickly gets insane fast. I do think a cosmetics collection would be the way to go for this franchise.

57. The Shining

Yes I know another Stephen King franchise. Look everybody talks about The Shining in some form. This would include it's sequel Doctor Sleep. There's a few adaptations that could be used. Although King would openly refuse to allow the classic movie version.

Danny would only be chosen as a survivor from Doctor Sleep. His father Jack could be the killer of that chapter. Bridging the two stories together with a possible new map being the Overlook Hotel. I do think some cosmetics could be interesting. Personally I am hoping they make a reference to The Simpsons.

58. The Thing

The Thing is among my most wanted horror movie franchises to date. I know we already gotten an Xenomorph. To me, these aliens was much scarier!!! MacReady being the obvious survivor choice. Even if we don't get a new snow map. I do think there's still a lot of potential here.

Especially if John Carpenter does a few songs for this crossover. This should be a home run guarantee!!! This creature is going to bring paranoid unlike anything prior. A cosmetics collection going to be absolutely amazing!!! The Thing is a must for me I'll drop everything to play this creature or MacReady for that matter.

59. Trick 'r Treat

My wife actually introduced me to Trick 'r Treat movie. Not to be confused with a few horror movies with the same title. This one was a rather cool Halloween theme horror anthology movie. A lot of people hoping a sequel might happen. The cosmetics for both sides going to be sick!!!

There's a few possible killer choices. This might actually work better without a survivor coming. Trick 'r Treat was essentially the perfect Halloween movie!!! Now bringing that into Dead by Daylight would be heaven for a lot of people. I do think this crossover going to be a huge hit!!!

60. Twisted Metal

The famous car combat game franchise. I don't think the team would go for the game license since Sony decided to be exclusive. Besides the show being popular would allow the franchise onto many platforms. Twisted Metal has some crazy characters including Sweet Tooth. The cosmetics collection alone would be enough reason to go big on this franchise.

I doubt people wants more killer clowns right now. I personally would've welcome in Sweet Tooth. There's a few possible survivors from the show. One of the female killers could get an Minion legacy skin. Calypso meeting with The Entity could be a highlight. This also would bring in wishes something surprisingly missing from everything else Dead by Daylight has.

61. Universal Monsters

I was a little surprised a lot of people wanted Universal Monsters in this game. The classic horror cinematic universe coming to Dead by Daylight could do wonders. I do worry most DbD players aren't going to be familiar enough with those horror movies though. Thankfully in every other category they really have so much to work with.

A cosmetics collection would be amazing stuff!!! There's plenty characters on both sides that could join the roster. I doubt they bring in a new map which would've been highly debatable to choose one. I do think this would bring in a lot of older horror fans. If done right this easily could bring in a lot newer horror fans as well.

Conclusion

I don't plan to do this again ever!!!. I'm a little happy a lot of these I barely talked about here. This acted as a nice bridge to those franchises I wanted to discuss here. I know I selected a couple that may never show up in the game. But they did ask which franchises was I interested in seeing joining the game? In all honestly, the reaction I'm getting from all this is even some older franchises has a shot to happen.

There's so much untouched boundaries with these crossovers. A large amount of them would transform Dead by Daylight in vastly different horror games. It's this level of creativity that's gotten me quite excited!!! I do believe this survey going to truly speak volumes to the team. I also felt some people may had the reaction to a few franchises that surprisingly shown up.

Dead by Daylight is on the verge of changing the world with every chapter. Also due to how dead the competition is? I would love some of those franchises show up in some form. Honestly, thank you for this new licenses survey I had fun filing it out. This also proves getting a little creativity could allow such possibilities to happen in the near future.
