Freddy Krueger Headed to ‘Dead By Daylight’!
First The Shape stalked the streets. Then Leatherface. Now Starbreeze Studios wants you to get ready for Freddy.
That’s right, in a new trailer, the developers hint that the Springwood Slasher himself, Freddy Krueger, is the latest addition to Dead By Daylight. While the trailer itself is only 23 seconds long, it’s undeniable who it is that Starbreeze is teasing. Of course, there’s also no date as to when Freddy would be added, or what powers he’d have in the game, but that’s all part of the fun. Plus, you know, that thing called Halloween is just around the corner…
Who knows what other icons Starbreeze will be able to snag next?
Dead by Daylight is available now for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

‘The Blob’ and ‘Dream Warriors’ Filmmaker Chuck Russell Has Passed Away at 74
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
