Read more Dead by Daylight ➜ https://deadbydaylight.mgn.gg
Welcome, friends and foes, Survivors and Killers. Today we’ll be looking into the grim, dark world of Candyman and seeing what the legendary boogeyman of Cabrini-Green could bring to Dead by Daylight. We’ll be taking a look at the movies both old and new to distill the personality of Candyman into something we can add to Dead by Daylight someday.
Got any suggestions for things you want me to discuss? Leave a comment and I’ll add it to my list!

BTW for anyone who's looking for my Hillbilly video, a very small and very angry man had it copyright striked!
Weird, I know! The details are here: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyKJssZ6rN6LZVHTfR4AaABCQ
I had a similar idea but it uses the movie identity of Candyman as the Survivor and the book version of Candyman as the killer. It also used the location from the book but as you've said to do so would take away power from the character and in retrospect not make much sense
Bruh, you did NOT just compare Chucky to Rubber and Christine 😭 Chucky is a perfectly viable option.
I love how the dbd community is a light switch that changes between "bruh how is that a springtrap reference lmao you are just looking way too much in small details" and "HOOK! LIKE THE ONE FROM CANDYMAN"
Believe me, the springtrap theories might be crazy but we're the fnaf fandom. Insane theories made by connecting the smallest of details together is our specialty. You litteratly can't escape us.
I think having candymans story about racism and the effects of industrialization alone would be fucking amazing in dbd. these are the types of stories that i feel belong in horror games. not a scary knife man stalking someone, but a dark uncomfortable truth about reality.
We’re still waiting. We got plenty of time and patience. By the way, Rin (aka Spirit), is also growing exponentially more impatient.
I think chucks could work maybe they can put him in a toy car 🤔
The power as a whole seems pretty cool, but a really big chunk of it just seems like basic stat increases
I feel like if they're gonna do a Candyman character it'd be based off the new one that came out this year which is a "sequel" to the first one but it has a "new" Candyman that looks more deformed so I feel like they'll use that one and a tony Todd skin would come out for him later on
Bruh we need to stop asking for licences Every 5 mins, this game just needs to focus on game health
We need a bioshock cross over
I did write a concept about an obsession power based killer and I got laughed at for it. But the obsession mechanic encourages you to go after everyone else as hurting your obsession won't even down them, but it will hurt them enough to make them go away for a bit (Deep wound if you hurt the obsession in my original idea). I see candy man having a different interaction with his obsession as he doesn't hurt his obsession until everyone around them is dead, then Candyman can commit a special mori with the obsession that is completely different from the usual mori he has for other non obsessed survivors. his power should also play around with that and should still harm non obsessed survivors, but should cause the obsessed survivor a problem that'll force them to go away. If the obsession switches, the power should be changed in a way. I would love to see an obsession based power and how behavior sets it up.
Edit: I did a yandere based killer and holy crap, I also wrote her as a stealth killer, but her power is different. If she fully stalks a survivor, she can grab a survivor by their neck after a leap. She has a few seconds to throw them onto a hook. If she gets hurt by anyone else who isn't her obsession, they are partially marked and upon a full mark, she starts seeing them as the obsession, saving the best person who wronged her and stopped her from reaching her beloved last where she can commit a unique mori just for her obsession.
I absolutely love the idea for his power. But there’s one problem, SWF. It hard to sow confusion and uncertainty in the survivors when they know where everyone is and what’s happening at all times. “I’m the obsession and I hear the terror radius” “okay we know he’s near you now thanks”. It’s the same reason they haven’t done a “you disguise yourself as a survivor”. The knowledge SWF has just doesn’t allow that to happen.
We better not get Springtrap ever.
It should be Nightmarrionne or Ballora instead.
why does no one take Chucky seriously as a potential chapter 🙁
Would be really funny if this turns out to be as prophetic as the Resident Evil video
Also good idea, finally some more use and weight for the obsession mechanic
FNAF confirmed
Candyman is my favorite horror movie of all time, and candyman 2 is underrated in my opinion. That being said, I will disagree with you about the new candyman movie. The new candyman movie wasn't just not great, it was bad.
One of the main things that made the original good was the relationship between candyman and Helen. Tony Todd did a great job with his hypnotizing voice and messing around with Helen's head, making her go more and more crazy, offering her deals, dancing, etc. The main candyman in the new movie, Sherman, despite having a tragic backstory and an appearance to reflect it, hardly had any personality and never even spoke to Anthony, and not seeing the proper candyman until the last 5 seconds of the movie was a major disappointment, as many people myself included were expecting Tony Todd to play a bigger role in the movie.
The story behind Sherman is good, but other than that he doesn't have much character to back it up. The movie also did a great job connecting back to the original, both with the relationship of Anthony and Helen, and the explanation of the room behind the mirror with the candy.
However, this movie made the same sin candyman3 made… It didn't have the organ soundtrack. While that sounds like a nitpick, that crazy Phillip Glass soundtrack played a huge part in keeping me immersed in the first two movies, the music perfectly reflected the sinister, yet elegant personality of Daniel Robitaille.
Lastly, the ending. While it was cool to see the old man basically force Anthony into becoming the next candyman, something about the way it was presented annoys me. While police in candyman were always incompetent, the ones at the end almost seemed straight up evil, it seemed unrealistic that a cop would speak that way to a person who just witnessed someone die, especially since the cop believed that she was in danger. There has always been political subtext of injustice in candyman, but I feel this movie lacks the subtlety that made the first movie so effective, I in fact find it in this movie to be distracting from the main plot. Also, notice in the ending that the candyman (candymen?) didn't kill the person that summoned him/them, that is a big no no.
All in all though it was definitely not the worst candyman movie, it just kinda sucks that I went in expecting a great sequel just to be left with a compilation of off screen kills, soulless candyman, and anti police sentiment.
The possibilities of Candyman, Springtrap, and Jason are very exciting, though as a huge Batman fan I have an idea for a licensed killer that while sounding a little bit like a fever dream, is also a very viable option for DbD's very first comic book licensed killers:
Jonathan Crane, The Scarecrow.
His whole gimmick is horror, and being set in the dark crime-ridden world of the Batman mythos he would fit perfectly as DbD's resident supervillain. His power would play on the survivor's fears, maybe something that could mess with a terror radius and hallucinations. There's a lot of ways you could do Scarecrow justice in terms of a power, perks, and so on. Not only that, but the content available for skins and collections are absolutely endless.
Both him and Carnage/Cletus Kasady are two comic book characters that I think would fit absolutely perfectly into the world of the Entity.
Let's be honest, the only reason pixelbush doesn't want springtrap in the game is because he doesn't wanna lose his mind delving into the labyrinth of fnaf lore
DAMN
BHVR, get this man a fucking job.
What's your problem with springtrap? Personally when the teasers for Pinhead were still ambiguous as to who was coming I was hoping it was springtrap but was not disappointed too much when it was pinhead. And let's be honest it's probably going to happen at some point in the future with how requested he is.
Thank you for addressing the people that hate on the new killer designs I rlly disagree and love the new designs so I agree with you that they should shut up
Sweeney Todd for DBD? YES. Love that movie.
I do want to know if you'd be opposed to getting Springtrap in the game. Based off the comments section, you don't hate FNaF or just think it's a kids game, which I will say thank you so much for not being another one of those guys, but you obviously don't care too much for him. I saw a reply about being angry with the FNaF fans that would shit on anyone who wasn't begging for FNaF, to which I'll say that everyone, from FNaF fans to Hellraiser fans to IT fans to Candyman fans, was doing that to everyone before the Hellraiser chapter was announced. It was a massive shitshow, and trust me when I say the real FNaF fans found those people annoying too. I'm just curious as to what you think of the character and if you would be opposed to bringing him to the game.
I don’t know why, but this video just has me pumped to play dbd even though this is only a concept. I would greatly enjoy playin’ as/against something like this. Big appreciation for this.
You maybe would have wanted to have a warning about the flashing lights in the video
I know I'm going to get some hate for this candy man is overhyped.
Idgaf, your hair is gorgeous
You should put a flashing light epilepsy warning before the video. Other than that, good vid dude, loving your content
He just called OhTofu out that’s pretty neat
4:15 the new candyman movie fucking sucked what do u mean
Why can’t Annie Tarrant be the survivor.
11:04 moving oxygen through the bloodstream and to other cells.
God that candyman concept is amazing we need this in the game. The 2021 movie is amazing it is so true to the original. If you haven’t seen it you should.
I love this series man! I hope we could see other versions with other possible chapters (Friday the 13th, It, FNaF, Childs Play, etc.) because it’s really interesting
Springtrap > alien > candyman > every other possible license > pinhead
Ur political thoughts just got u blocked, good luck.
He’d have a number of skin options too, since there’s multiple iterations of Candymen in the new movie. Heck even if they could only get Sherman I’d still dig it, he made a sick Candyman.
