Screw it. Also throw in Mushnik's Flower Shop as a stage too and have Audrey 2 be a stage fatality.

[@OgIKidd]

The moment he mentioned King and how he couldn't use certain characters, I immediately took pause. Besides It being the most obvious, King could kind of fit a decent chunk of his characters in a roaster alone. Cowboys, demons, shapeshifters, ghosts, werewolves, a telekinetic. He could've even used his idea for Elvira just on King himself. lol

[@galaxycamerata]

For a story mode with a rival system I can definitely see each kind of match-up going something like: The Thing vs The Tall Man: They're both shockingly alike in a way, spreading their influence, absorbing the corpses of their victims into their fold. The Tall Man just works on a macroscopic level compared to The Thing's microscopic. Laurie vs Myers: Enough said. She's ready to end this once and for all. Ghost Face vs Sadako: The duo tried to capitalize on the tapes to make a nearly-foolproof alibi by just slipping the tapes into people's houses after taking part in its myth and finding out it worked. Too bad they didn't keep track of who they were stalking and who they were sending tapes to, and now she's hot on the trail again after one of their targets popped in the tape while they were stalking the mark. And their VHS burner happened to break not long ago. Freddy vs Jason: Jason is still PISSED that Freddy tricked him into going beyond his turf by defacing the memory of his mother. Chucky vs Leatherface: Chucky WANTS to find a new mark to get a new body, but he was abducted when the person delivering his box was taken by the Sawyer family. He'll have to make do somewhere in the dump this family lives in. Pumpkinhead vs Jigsaw: One of Kramer and Amanda's victims managed to find a particular graveyard out in the woods. And the stench of defiled bodies and tormented souls only makes Pumpkinhead stronger and stronger. Ash vs David: David's been causing some disappearances over in Ash's home town. Vampires, Deadites, they bleed all the same. Pinhead vs Pennywise: The Cenobites have long-believed that those who inflict pain must be willing and able to accept it in turn to know true bliss. Pennywise exists in defiance of that order, always giving, never accepting, perverting that balance into something incomprehensible. It is time to It to pay its pound of flesh and learn the true value of pain. Elvira vs Stripe: She's not keen on letting these little green menaces wreck up her theater. Good thing she has some friends who are ready and able to help. Red vs Candyman: They are both beings built upon existing as a reflection of American society, of taking what's hidden behind that mirror and dragging it out into the open for everyone to see. In that way there'd be a strange mutual respect from the two of them I'd think.

[@billymccrary2246]

Those sound like good interesting ideas. my dear good friend.

I'm just gonna say this, when it comes to the soundtrack, if anyone could make a good score for a horror fighting game, it would be Ice Nine Kills.

[@maxleon61702]

[@Sr_postal_dude]

[@randomdudeiminternet]

I enjoy Ice Nine Kills, but if Freddy is in this game, Dokken needs to help contribute to the score.

[@jimneville5774]

I would absolutely no life a horror fighting game with an INK soundtrack

[@the13throse]

There's also the fact that Candyman's entire goal as a slasher is to get people to believe in him and talk about him, which lets him continue existing after death. So if you were going to include any villain from a more serious horror movie, Candyman is a very good and fitting choice. Knowing how famous a lot of the killers in this game are, both out-of-universe and in-universe, I can see Candyman realizing that if word got out of him kicking Jason Voorhees' ass or killing a Ghostface, his legend would be even more famous, possibly even usurping the villains he would conquer. That sounds like the perfect ending for a Candyman story mode in a horror crossover fighting game, that he's just the undisputed king of urban legends now and everyone's terrified of him, across the nation or world.

[@ashtongiertz8728]

So Candyman's like Freddy Krueger?

An easy way for rivalries to naturally exist, and a good story for the game that fits with the unique trait of most of these characters being villains, would be that the main villain has made everyone one of these icons target a single girl on the same night, hell, that girl can be Regan and it's Pazuzu trying to lure everyone. Jason is told by "his mother" in a similar way to how he was tricked in Freddy vs Jason, Chucky catches wind and is going to try and swap bodies with her, both Ash and Laurie hear about it and are trying to protect her, the Gremlins just wanna mess with her, and this is perfect fodder for rivalries. Jason and Michael are both stalking outside the house when they see each other and both want to take this target for themselves. Each character's ending is them defeating Pazuzu and claiming the kill for themselves. Now, not every character is the same, as I said Ash and Laurie go by themselves to stop what's happening, so you can write different motivations for everyone, but the idea is that they're all making a nightmarish road trip to this one house on this one night.

Jason: *Crushes the phone* Ghostface: *on the otherside of the stage* "You'll die just like your Mother!" 2. Freddy: "Waazzzzuuuupppp, Bitch!" Ghostface: "Waaaazzzzzaaaapp" 3. Michael Myers: *Tilts head and hangs up the phone* Ghostface: *Uses voice changer to sound like Dr. Loomis* "It's time, Michael." (Billy Loomis, Dr. Loomis... yeah yeah) 4.

@@OtakukunoichiI think a phone call Ghost Face has with the Gremlins would be pretty hilarious. Heck, imagine Ghostface’s phone function stays the same, but instead it’s staged where the Gremlins call him instead of him, just messing around with him through prank calls and just babbling a lot of nonsense, and Ghostface becoming stronger could just be him getting fed up with these little craps and wanting to put an end to them.

First off, I’m surprised The American Werewolf in London didn’t get into the roster considering you’ve got a vampire, and everyone knows if you’ve got a vampire, it needs to fight a werewolf! Plus, AWiL was even in the intro for the video, but I digress. That absolutely gnarly transformation scene would be amazing as an install or intro for the character. As for the weird character, I don’t know if he qualifies as a horror character, but I think Betelgeuse fits the role PERFECTLY. His movie is creepy but fun, he’s an absolute riot, and his moveset has nearly infinite potential with how wacky he is. Great video overall tho!

[@nicksrandomreviews]

One thing to add for Stripe. The chaos meter is a perfect idea, but we can make him more chaotic. His level 3 super is that spider form from Gremlins 2. If his chaos meter isn't quite full, he just does the super. But, if you fill it up, Gizmo comes in just like the film, shoots Stripe with a flaming arrow, and the ensuing explosion hurts both Stripe, and the opponent. Imagine the sheer amount of pure salt when someone ends a tournament final with that, getting a double K.O. That is the most Stripe thing I can possibly imagine.

Also, when you brought up the idea of a gameplay mechanic integrating horror characters’ tendency to survive or just straight up come back to life from insane shit, I was a little disappointed you didn’t mention Herbert West at all. I mean, the dude is a literal necromancer! Summoning zombies that could hurt the opponent and him, injecting himself with his own serum, strapping down his opponent on a surgical table to mutilate them and turn them into his experiment, there’s so much you could do with the Re-Animator. Plus, it would be some nice Lovecraft rep. Edit: And wouldn’t you know it, that’s the first guy you brought up as DLC in part 2! Called it!

[@superspider64]

Y'know for The Thing, if you really wanted to add it in as its own character for DLC the way it could be unlocked could be by completing that one arcade mode you mentioned where it transforms into the defeated character after each fight a few times and could play like one of those fighting game characters that copy a bunch of other characters movesets for its own, creating a really unique mish-mash playstyle

(Reference to the Army of Darkness comics where Ash fought Dracula himself). 2. David: I'll suck you dry Chosen One Ash: So you're gonna ignore most of your team got their asses kicked by literal kids? To Ghostface: Ghostface: What's your favourite scary movie, Vampire boy? David: Near Dark is a personal fav of mine. (Another Vampire movie that came out in 1987) To Leatherface: David: You also take pride in family. I can respect that.

[@24hourPrince]

The way you described Leatherface's hypothetical moveset here reminded me a bit of Bane from Injustice. He can buff himself with his Venom drug up to three times, increasing his damage and giving some of his moves new properties, but after the buff ends he gets a debuff to his speed and damage that lasts longer and is more debilitating based on the level of buff you used.

[@josiahbutler1573]

[@Brianna-eo8nu]

Red having tethered counterparts of the other fighters to send out and fight would not only be super cool, but also have so many disturbing implications considering how much messed up stuff these horror characters have physically been through. Like if Red is resentful of her counterpart while they live a relatively normal family life, imagine how much burning hatred these tethers would have for their counterparts putting them through all the beatings from final girls and getting killed and resurrected over and over?!

[@viaisagirlkisser]

Not to mention the fact that the tethered counterparts would be forced to kill other tethereds.

[@flamereaper7158]

I’m going to make some bold hope before the video is live but I usually he always has a WTF pick that he usually does in these BTR and if you were asking me, the pick that I would actually be the Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I don’t think they will appear in the roster but I do think that the klowns might have one of the best moveset potentials as they have a lot of unique items that they used in the film to either track or kill their victims. The only problem that I would see be very difficult is actually choosing which klown should be the main one but I’m either leaning towards it either being Slim or Jumbo but who knows. This is just a hope

[@VitorEduardo-ez1mb]

I'm gonna say it, for part 2, patrick bateman as DLC, lots of potential for a moveset in there

[@naegling]

my WTF pick would be the tomatoes from attack of the killing tomatoes

[@alabamafreak]

Could you imagine the stage intro for some of these guys? Like for example: A vortex/portal opens at the top of the screen as Ash falls out of it, cocking his shotgun before saying a one-liner. Fog rolls in from one side of the screen and Jason appears once it subsides, putting his mask on before whipping out his machete. Michael lowers himself down from the ceiling andor top of the stage (which would be a nod to that one part in Halloween: H20/Resurrection.) Leatherface slowly walks onto the stage before starting up his chainsaw. Candyman gracefully floats down, saying either "be my victim..." or "I've came for you..." Large flames break out as Freddy materializes from them, either saying a quip to the opponent or simply laughing. The Tall Man steps out of his time machine teleporter thingy, sphere in hand as he says one of his lines (either "I have plans for you" or "the funeral is about to begin!") A large horde of gremlins stampede from one side of the screen to the other, with the only one left behind being Stripe. Pumpkinhead's corpse lays motionless on the stage before suddenly contorting and changing as the demon grows to full size, snarling at the opponent. We see a Good Guy's box sitting on the stage that begins to shake violently before Chucky finally bursts from it, shouting an obsecenity at the opponent. The Lament Configuration sits by itself before Pinhead materializes from lightning and picks the puzzle box up. A large hole opens up on the floor of the stage as Sadako slowly crawls out from it and stands up. A large block of ice sits still on the stage and we can vaguely see something inside of it, which moves slightly before suddenly bursting open; the creature revealing itself to be The Thing as it roars at the opponent.

[@calebray1834]

Red comes in and stands with her tethered family.

[@ashtongiertz8728]

Why a hole? Sadako should crawl out of a TV set.

Here's an interesting idea. For the arcade mode, what if there was a bonus stage similar to the car smashing stage from Street Fighter, but you would be fighting against a random human You would get points depending on how gruesome your attacks are.

[@mirzapramudya1580]

​@@BigBossMan538honestly, I would be down to have the entire Xenomorph species as a fighter Call the fighter the "Xenomorph Queen" or whatever, but have the fighter be a Xenomorph variant It'll be a stance character, being able to switch between being stealthy, to being ruthless killing machines. For the power up mechanic, have the current Xenomorph retreat into a vent system, only for a stronger variant of the Xenomorph to come out from above (think like how Alien appeared in the MKX trailer) In the max level for the power up, Xenomorph's level 3 would have it lay eggs (I recall them being able to do that, idk) and the eggs would hatch into facehuggers who'd lay eggs inside the opponent. This causes the enemy to slowly (like, super slowly) lose health, but when their health gets low, a chest burster will pop out of the opponent, instantly killing them

I'm one of the huge horror nerds who gets excited whenever people remember Pumpkinhead exists. The first one didn't get much love in its day, but it deserved way more; it's not a perfect movie or anything but it's just absolutely suffused with character and you can really feel the love that was poured into it. The mournful southern gothic fairy tale atmosphere, the incredible practical effects and monster design (even if Pumpkinhead himself is definitely reminiscent of a xenomorph), Lance Henriksen grounding the plot with a characteristically great performance, one of the creepiest witches in any horror media, fantastic cinematography and use of color. As a franchise, it got hit harder by the diminishing returns stick than usual (and I say that as a guy with a very high tolerance for infinite horror sequels), but the first was something special.

[@TidalVex]

I think Red from "Us" is the coolest pick, if only because that level 3 of calling on the dweller version of the opponent sounds dope as hell. Plus Jordan Peele is one of the biggest names in modern horror some of one their movies should have some representation in this hypothetical game.

I think a cool mechanic would be a charm system, at the character select screen you could also select a charm/object which will give you a minor passive ability, this way you can sneak a bunch of references to other horror movies. For example: One charm would be a piece of the blob which would add a tiny amount of damage over time to your physical attacks, another one would be the necronomicon, which would summon a tiny minion or something eveey x amount of seconds, or if you add a creepypasta rep to the DLC, one of the DLC charm's could be a picture of smile dog which would cloud the screen of the opponent and mess with their game audio every so often. IDK, i just think it would be cool.

[@thebombkidbomb]

If you were going to do the rival possibility as the end boss of Arcade Mode, since we have an odd numbered roster, I think the coolest option would be to have one of the characters have multiple options for their rival. What I was thinking was have Elvira cycle through every character in the game, having a different final encounter every time. Plus, if you beat Arcade Mode as Elvira and have faced every character as your rival, you get a special achievement. For another idea for alternate costume fighters, an obvious pick would be Evil Ash from Army of Darkness. Also, as for DLC, definitely down for Art the Clown and Leprechaun coming in, but my biggest wish for that video is Toxie from The Toxic Avenger. He's both the hero and the monster of his franchise, and he's got a HUGE potential for a moveset.
