Following the announcement that actor Matthew Lillard will voice and appear in Dead by Daylight as a legendary skin for Springtrap in the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s chapter, fans are now speculating that more crossovers may be on the horizon—specifically, a possible collaboration with Scooby-Doo or even a new Ghostface skin.
While no official confirmation has been made by Behaviour Interactive, these theories are gaining traction for a few key reasons.
Why Fans Think Scooby-Doo Might Join the Fog
The speculation around a Scooby-Doo crossover isn’t entirely new. When The Houndmaster, a Killer who commands a dog, was introduced to the game, many fans joked—and later seriously hoped—that a Scooby-Doo skin might be added for that character. Those wishes never materialized, but the idea lingered in the community.
Now, with Matthew Lillard making his Dead by Daylight debut in the FNaF chapter this June, those rumors have intensified. Lillard famously portrayed Shaggy Rogers in the early 2000s Scooby-Doo live-action films, and his presence in the game has fueled hopes that a Scooby-Doo-themed skin—or perhaps even a full chapter—could one day join the ever-growing DbD roster. Notably, Scooby-Doo has appeared in Behaviour’s community polls asking fans which franchises they’d most like to see added to the game.
Speculation surrounding a potential Scooby-Doo collaboration in Dead by Daylight is further fueled by the fact that Behaviour Interactive has repeatedly included Scooby-Doo as an option in its official community surveys, where players are asked which franchises they’d most like to see join the game. The cartoon mystery classic has consistently appeared alongside other major horror properties, suggesting that the developers are aware of the strong fan interest and have at least considered the idea internally:
Could Ghostface Get a Matthew Lillard Legendary Skin?
There’s also speculation that Ghostface, already a Killer in Dead by Daylight, could receive a legendary skin modeled after Matthew Lillard’s character from the original Scream (1996), in which he played one of the two killers. Since DbD has introduced celebrity-based cosmetics in the past—like Nicolas Cage—it wouldn’t be out of the question for a Lillard-inspired Ghostface skin to appear, especially with his renewed involvement in the game.
Nothing Confirmed—But the Hype Is Real
As of now, these are just rumors and fan theories, sparked by Lillard’s confirmed role in the FNaF chapter. However, given Behaviour Interactive’s recent history of surprising and ambitious crossovers—Alien, The Ring, Resident Evil, and now Five Nights at Freddy’s—these ideas don’t seem as far-fetched as they once might have.
With Dead by Daylight continuing to expand its horror universe, it’s clear the Fog still holds many secrets—and perhaps a few meddling kids too.
