  • Hello BHVR team,

    I know the Halloween license situation is complicated and that, as Mandy said recently, it is unfortunately “out of our control.” I completely understand that there are legal and licensing matters involved, and I am not asking for something that may simply be impossible right now.

    However, I would like to respectfully ask BHVR to consider trying to bring the Halloween Chapter back to Dead by Daylight if an opportunity to renegotiate the license becomes available in the future.

    Michael Myers and Laurie Strode are not just another licensed collaboration. Halloween was the first major horror-film license to enter Dead by Daylight in 2016, and it helped establish the identity that DBD has today. The chapter has a unique place in the game's history.

    For newer players, the removal is especially disappointing. Many of us discovered Dead by Daylight years after the original chapter was released and never had the opportunity to purchase The Shape, Laurie, their cosmetics, or experience Haddonfield as part of the original chapter.

    I also think there is still a strong community interest in seeing them return. There are already multiple discussions from players asking for the Halloween Chapter to come back, and the recent community response shows that Michael and Laurie still mean a lot to DBD players.

    The return of Stranger Things also showed that a licensed chapter leaving the game does not necessarily have to mean that it is gone forever. If circumstances ever allow another agreement with the rights holders, I hope BHVR will consider pursuing that opportunity.

    I am not asking BHVR to break any agreements or reveal confidential licensing information. I simply hope that, if the door ever opens again, the team will try.

    Michael Myers belongs in Dead by Daylight.

    Thank you for everything you have done with the Halloween Chapter since 2016, and thank you for listening to the community.

    Hi DbD Team,

    I am writing to express how much I appreciate your ongoing work on Dead by Daylight. The Halloween chapter featuring Michael Myers (The Shape) and Laurie Strode holds a truly iconic place in the game’s history and identity.

    I understand that licensing agreements are complex and that the recent expiration of the Halloween license was outside your direct control. However, I want to strongly encourage the team to consider renegotiating with the rights holders (Miramax / Trancas) to bring the DLC back to the in-game store for new players.

    We saw how amazing it was when the Stranger Things chapter made its triumphant return thanks to community passion and your team's hard work. Bringing The Shape back to the Fog would mean the world to many fans who missed out on purchasing him earlier.

    Thank you for your time, dedication, and for bringing these horror legends to life!

    Best regards!
