"you could totally hit a child with a standing normal attack" Thorgi October 14 2023

Okay that transition from Leprachaun to Stripe was absolutely genius and totally caught me off guard major props for that one!

The interaction between Ghostface and Sadako is peak fiction

Candyman: “You don’t have many Mirror’s Ash.” Ash: ”What can I say, see your Reflection pop out and attack you enough and you start to get paranoid…”

The beach from Jaws has to be a stage with Bruce being a stage fatality

Ghostface "What's your favorite scary movie?" Sadako "Se....ven....days...." Ghostface "Must be an old classic."

I can just picture Ash's one-liners when he beats some of these guys. To Chucky: Sorry pal, I'm a little too old to be playin' with dolls. To Pennywise: Didn't realize the circus was in town.

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.

The fact that Carrie wasn't suggested during the Steven King discussion makes me sure that she's one of the DLC fighters. I also expect to see Sam from Trick 'r Treat, love that funky lil dude.

Elvira is the funniest character idea I have ever heard for a roster like this, pure perfection.

I just imagine pazuzu as a final boss, his intro would be Regan in her green skin twisting her head and pazuzu leaving her body, so we could also pay tribute to one of horror biggest tropes "The scary creepy child"

You know how some games have fight commentators? It would be cool if you got the Dead Meat crew or the Cryptkeeper to provide as commentary for the matches Imagine James, Chelsea, or Zoran popping off and going nuts during the match or Cryptkeeper making that laugh whenever any of the characters hit their ultras

Elvira, Cryptkeeper, and Joe Bob would be great announcers

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.

If the theme of the game is centered on “fun” horror movies, then perhaps the menu theme can lean into a movie theme. The character select screen could be a film screen. When all the characters are selected, it looks like a movie title with the characters’ names. Much like how UMVC3 was comic book themed with each option being a page in a comic and vanilla’s character teams being comic book covers.

The tire from Rubber could be the training dummy in a training mode to practice your moves on, kind of like the sandbag in Smash Bros.

I definitely feel like there needs to be more MONSTERS. Xenomorphs, Death Angels, and the Demogorgon may be inhuman, unspeaking beasts that look similar. But what's horror and Halloween without big, bloodthirsty beasts!!

54:00 God dammit, I actually fell for it and refreshed the page. Well played you clever bastard.

If this were to become official: *Ring, Ring* Robert Englund: Hello? Game producer: Hello? Is this Robert Englund? Robert Englund: Yes, why are you asking? Game producer: We're making a horror video game and we're looking for someone to voice Freddy Kruger. Are you- *Call is hung up* Um... Hello? *Door busts open at Game producer headquarters* Robert Englund: You had me at "voice Freddy".

That leprechaun fake out was amazing the second you said another small character all I was thinking was "oh god no" 😂

The moment I heard the Tales from the Crypt theme when "Here Comes A New Challenger" came up, I almost thought the Crypt-Keeper was going to be in this roster... and I don't think anyone would be against him being in this game, at least as a narrator xD

I could see multiple dlc packs being references to certain horror stuff, like a "Send in the Clowns" Pack with Art, Horney & The Killer Klowns from Outer Space. "It Came From Another World" Pack with The Predator, Xenomorph & Mars Attacks' Martians. "Merrytime Massacre" with Jack Frost, Gingerdead Man & Santa's Slay Santa.

I love the idea that Elvira’s fighting style is just beating your ass with whatever she can find in the Halloween section of a Home Depot *Please make one of her Supers the 12 ft. Giant Skeleton thank you* Edit: Just realized, I’m kinda surprised you didn’t make a joke about the idea of Elvira and Ghostface being awkwardly chill rivals, where Elvira gets called on her show and just sarcastically aces all of the horror trivia thrown at her since that’s her entire job lol

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.

I'd like a stage based on Nope. Imagine the stage finisher: You knock the opponent in the background and Jean Jacket arrives and sucks the defeated opponent into its maw, only for it to spew out a torrent of blood onto the house! That would be amazing!

Holy shit is that Ashley Joanna "Ash" Williams, the titular main protagonist from the fictional horror TV series produced by Sam Raimi, known as Ash vs Evil Dead, where his task is to kill the opposing zombie-like monstrous opponents known as Deadites?

The Killer Klowns from Outer Space would be so much fun in this type of game. They could work like TMNT in injustice 2 so we could have Shorty, Rudy, Slim, and Jumbo

Imagine some of the interactions though I think a cool idea would be for Ghostface have him actually recognize all the horror villains by their movies

You got me with the Gremlin fakeout, lol, lmao even. Also, why not both ideas for the end? Have the rival battles play out like a Soul Calibur game with a cutscene and have their maxed out versions at the start. Then once you beat them, Pazuzu comes out of the body and reveals his true form, then which you have to fight him. Which would also explain why the rival was maxed out in the first place. Really looking forward to part 2!

I want to give an entire roster of Horror Icons some hot chocolate. EDIT: Okay, using the UMVC3 Ghost Rider theme for Ash in the background is actually perfect.

The reference potential even just with stages for a game like this would be crazy. Doubt there will be any mention of these, but representation for movies like critters, tremors, and eight legged freaks would mean so much to me.

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.

If Jason vs Dracula happens....we know where Hollywood got it from

I could imagine after winning ash would say “hail to the king baby”

i love what you did with laurie strode and michael meyers being really good counters to each other she has range , he has armor on some attacks, she can counter he can grab to avoid the counter and if the knockback of the shotgun is strong enough (or other attack) she can push him away to start the song and dance again. friggin storytelling with game mechanics

Carrie's gotta be a DLC, She's too iconic.

It’d be so cool if Amanda’s resurrection move would be the pig getting knocked out and you hear Jigsaws voice over say ‘hello Zepp’ before Amanda jumps out from the other side of the screen

I can’t decide if I’m furious or relieved that you faked us out for Gremlins with the Leprechaun. Can’t we have both, man?

I was watching this in full screen mode on my tv, and the Gremlins fake-out really got me, lol... Also, I think that the Grim Reaper would be an interesting final boss... His motivation being that he's ticked off at the game's roster for constantly making him work overtime shuffling their immortal souls to their final destinations.

Might be one of the only people genuinely disappointed that Leprechaun was used as the fake-out. LEP IN THE HOOD UP TO NO GOOD

i do love that the scream is just a bunch of dudes against actual super humans, nightmares and aliens/demons

The plot wasn't really discussed because to be fair it doesn't really need to, but if you touch on it in part 2, I think it'd be cool if the idea of the arcade story would be that each character is controlled by the crew from cabin in the woods, and each character trying to overthrow the facility in some way

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.

For Laurie Strode, I’d imagine for this game, she would have the likeness and voice of Jamie Lee Curtis due to her love for fighting games.

Some character interactions to Ghostface calling/"What's Your favorite" movie. (If the phone is destroyed or hung up, assume theres a cut to Ghostface) 1. 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. Ghostface: "Stab... obviously... Wait why are you calling me!?" First Ghostface: "Uhhh, wazzup?" 5. Sayako: (already in the vid) Im too lazy to continue, respond with your own if ya want!

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?!

This is a REALLY solid line-up! I was especially happy to see Sadako and was hoping Red would make the cut as well. Elvira was also a great choice! And I loved the fake out with Leprechaun. I can also already see the potential DLC characters: Carrie (another Stephen King character I could see work in a fighter), Art the Clown, M3GAN, and Shaun (as in Shaun of the Dead, a good way to get a character from the zombie genre and he could be comedic and utilize zombies in attacks).

I hope we see the rival battles next time.

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.

it really says something about how incredible you are at making these videos that I, someone with almost no interest in horror due to being incredibly squeamish and easily scared, had an absolute blast watching this. Super excited for part 2! Also man, the rules in the beginning now have me wondering about what a fighting game crossing over horror video game characters would look like

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

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!

The funny thing about this Ultimate Horror Crossover fighting game is that the scariest aspect isn't the roster of freaks and monsters. It's that it's riddled to the brim with comeback mechanics.

Another idea for a Final Girl would be Nancy, from Elm Street. Specifically, could be her from Dream Warriors. She could have a few dream powers to give her an edge, while also being able to set up traps to keep opponents on her toes. Hell, Nancy in Nightmare 1 was basically just Kevin from Home Alone at the end, and that's a kinda trapper I wanna see in fighting games. But we can't just put Kevin in this...can we? Edit: Elvira is a pick I am in love with and you didn't even need to say a word. I grew up watching her and Svengoolie, so seeing a Horror Host make it as more than announcers is amazing. I would love to see DLC packs for her where she can get a new summon. Like Blade from Puppet Master, or a Killer Klown from Outter Space.

Standing applause for the Gremlins reveal, genuinely got me; nearly refreshed the damn page. Always good to see a fellow Gremlin Enjoyer.

Just so you know, john uses the pig costume too, and is really strong in the movies, lifting people up and stuff to put them in his traps, so he could still be playable

You got me with that leprechaun fake out

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.

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.

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.

Already one of my favorite BTRs, can’t wait for Part 2! We better see the Xenomorph in the DLC

I've always thought it could work to put Chucky in a fighting game by having him basically piloting some poor helpless parent who is agreeing to help him to keep him away from their kid. Kinda like Ferra/Tor from MKX

43:18 On the contrary! Vengeance Meter sounds totally *METAL!!* I am all in! 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!

Dude I’m so stoked!! I immediately thought he was talking Gremlins and I saw the Leprechaun and thought “okay yeah that makes sense wish it were the gremlins” just to be so happy with how he chose to pull them out haha

Would love to see a NOPE Star Lasso stage with Jean Jacket stage fatality that shows the character being digested like the scene

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.

54:00 well done thorgi. Well done. You pyscho mantis'd me. I got eternal darkness'd

Speaking of hypothetical games I would love to see you build a roster for Avatar the Last air bender/Korra fighting game. Since Nick is only ever going to make low budget mediocre games with that property.

this was a BLAST, one of the more fun and hype BTRs and the extra effort was brilliant to see. Here's hoping Pearl makes the DLC!

David win quotes David: Jason, The Momma's boy? You really thought you could kill me? I wouldn't drink your tanted blood if you were the last thing on this planet. David: Damn Mayers and I thought Jason had issues. You can't even kill a one Baby Sitter or a final girl. @#$& off!

53:20 "a little green fellow who hails from the other side of the ocean and just loves to cause mischief" I genuinely thought you were going to say Godzilla and "little" was a misdirect

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.

I would definitely include Sam from Trick 'r Treat, if for no other reason than the sound of his candy bag thumping into someone and hearing the cats yelp.

Ghostface: What's your favorite scary movie? Sadako: Seven days... Ghostface: ...The hell movie is that?

So here's a Wildcard Fighter idea: Christine (Yes, the car that kills people) It would be ridiculously awesome to see Christine battle like the Daytona car fighter from Fighters Megamix.

I utterly adore Red and didn’t expect her to be the modern pic, and I was doing a thing where I looked away and tried to guess who everyone was from the audio, and hearing the hall of mirrors speech gave me so much joy thank you

A horror fighting game with iconic movie characters would be so much fun

Idea for a mechanic - cycle of day and night, and in the night the characters become stronger, like Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.

When the leprechaun bit happened I was actually thinking "Man Stripe would be such a good choice" Then that bit happened I think this might be my favourite KZfaq moment

I’d like to think a good announcer for the game could be James A. Janisse from Dead Meat, the guy who does the Kill Counts for all of your favorite horror movies

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

Ash: "Groovy~"

As a huge horror and fighting game fan, I absolutely LOVED this! And Elvira as a roster pick is inspired!

My mind is racing with ideas for the DLC. Captain Spaulding, The Toxic Avenger, Andre Toulon (surprised he didn't make the base roster since he literally screams 'Puppet Character'), Doctor Giggles, The Wishmaster, Ginger (if we've got a vampire, we need a werewolf too), George Nada, Father McGruder, Sil, The Janitor from Wally's Wonderland... I could go on

If comedic horror counts, then I’d love to see Rocky from Rocky Horror Picture Show. Other picks for me would be: -Toxic Avenger -the Repo Man (Repo: The Genetic Opera) -Dren (Spice) -Victor Crowley (Hatchet)

I'd also add clashes like in Injustice just imagine Leatherface and Ash rushing each other and locking chainsaws

If you ever wanted another hero in the roster as dlc, I think Burt Gummer from Tremors could be cool- he’s a gun/explosive nut, he’s batshit insane, and he could probably have a move where he kicks an opponent into the path of a Graboid! Tremors is a mad underrated series xD

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.

This is without a doubt my favorite Build a Roster episode. Also, you gotta have the announcer for the game be The Crypt Keeper. Like maybe after a match he could spout out a pun at the loser’s expense Can’t wait for Part 2!

Here's an idea for a Build the Roster that might challenge you: A theoretical Clayfighter reboot.

Pennywise absolutely needs to be the Kirby of this game with a personalized fear form for each fighter that he can take when powered up, down to the face peeling open with deadlights for the Kirby succ

Panywise can have a mechanic like leonardo from tmnt in injustice 2 where he can call for the other turtles to assist him but in penywise the assist can be other stephen king characters and it can work like this the less hp your oponent have and the higher penywise super meter are the assist characters will change for more powerfull characters

She's the one that scares me the most out of this roster, but screw it, I'll main Sadako. Amazing Job with part.1 Thorgi, the joy and exciment that your voice transmit when talking about horror makes the video even more fun. Looking forward that second video!

I cheered when Pumpkinhead came up. Hope to see Carrie, Radu (Subspecies), and The Djinn from Wishmaster in the DLC

As the final boss, Pazuzu is a good choice. He has the title King of the Wind Demons/ Demon of the Southwestern Winds, so I'd assume he'd have a lot of wind based attacks. Hurricanes to whip you across the battlefield, tornadoes to block you from getting too close, razor wind projectiles and the like.

Making fight intros for this game would be fun since most of the roster would be completely silent or make simple sounds.

Not gonna lie, as soon as you excluded video game monsters you immediately made me want to see what a Build the Roster would look like for video game monsters. We get Boo, Nemesis, Morrgan, Dracula (Castlevania), Pyramidhead, Gengar, Mimmikyu, Weregarurumon... Actually could be a fun fighting game

"you can hit a kid with a standing normal" is the most hilarious thing lol

Of course your roster started with Jason, Freddy, and Michael. A friend of mine who's big into horror films calls them "The Devil's Most Favored Sons" because of how purely iconic they are to slashers and the horror genre as a whole

Oh it's also fun thinking of stages, even though stages aren't usually aren't that discussed for fighters that aren't Smash Bros. I can see the obvious ones like the Myers House for Michael, Camp Crystal Lake for Jason, the Dream World for Freddy, etc. And then you've got ones like Jigsaw's Lair, in front of Sadako's well, and the Good Guy factory from Child's Play 2. And you could even use some stages to give horror icons who otherwise couldn't be fighters some representation like throwing in Amity Island Beach for JAWS, complete with the shark making a cameo in the background.
