Lifeless By Daylight is a survival sport that’s recognized for its collaborations with large names in beloved TV and movie horror franchises. We’ve seen acquainted faces, together with the infamous killers Ghostface, Michael Myers, and Freddy Krueger, in addition to iconic areas reminiscent of Silent Hill’s Midwich Elementary Faculty, and Stranger Issues’ Hawkins Nationwide Laboratory. Holding this in thoughts, we’ve compiled an inventory of nice horror settings that may make an ideal alternative for the subsequent map within the sport. With out additional ado, listed below are 10 horror areas that may make excellent maps in Lifeless By Daylight.
Worry Avenue 1994’s Shadyside Mall

Lifeless By Daylight maps are so darkish, and grim trying. What higher inclusion than a spacious, empty, neon-lit mall so as to add a little bit of selection to the obtainable picks? Shadyside Mall is a location from the movie Worry Avenue Half 1: 1994, and incorporates a traditional ’90s native mall.
A mall can be a really fascinating location for a Lifeless By Daylight map, as the varied shops would offer loads of nooks and crannies to cover from killers and repair mills. Alternatively, this map might ditch the entire generator mechanic and have gamers work collectively to shut down doorways to shops instead of fixing gens, and entice the killer inside. This could be a enjoyable little characteristic, contemplating that’s precisely how Worry Avenue opens; with a poor younger worker making an attempt to close down the shop and get dwelling for the night time, while being stalked by a creepy, halloweenish determine.
Plus, simply think about how good the likes of Trickster, Yui, and Yun-Jin would look on this map; It completely matches their aesthetics. Shadyside mall additionally simply looks as if the sort of map that I’d get pleasure from being chased round, with all of the retro lights, meals stalls, shops, and arcade machines lining the constructing. Let’s simply hope I wouldn’t get too distracted and find yourself a sacrifice to the Entity.
American Horror Story’s Briarcliff Asylum
![Briarcliff Manor from American Horror Story: Asylum](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Briarcliff-Manor-1.jpg?resize=1000%2C563)
There’s nothing that fairly screams ‘creepy Lifeless By Daylight map’ like an outdated, dated Asylum. Lo and behold, American Horror Story: Asylum’s Briarclif Manor is the right alternative for such a setting, as not solely does it have loads of creepy rooms to throw mills into, however Asylum is mostly regarded to be one of many creepiest and hottest American Horror Story seasons of all time.
Simply think about creeping across the dusty outdated Manor whereas making an attempt to remain hidden from the killer, setting foot into the music room the place the creepy track Dominique by the Singing Nun performs on a damaged loop, repeating time and again.
This additionally wouldn’t be Lifeless By Daylight’s first TV horror crossover. We’ve already had Stranger Issues content material prior to now, so American Horror Story isn’t out of the query. Moreover, I can completely think about the survivors and killers that may be included in a Lifeless By Daylight DLC Bundle that options AHS: Asylum. Lana Winters, Package Walker, and Bloodyface, anybody?
The Blair Witch Mission’s Black Hills
![The Blair Witch Project](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Black-Hills-1.jpg?resize=1000%2C563)
The Blair Witch Mission is likely one of the most iconic horror movies of the ’90s, and maybe my favourite horror movie of all time. The movie single-handedly helped set up the found-footage horror style, and even led individuals to imagine it was a real story upon its launch. What higher horror icon to characteristic in Lifeless By Daylight than the legendary Black Hills?
The Black Hills is the forest wherein the pic takes place in, and the rumored location of the place the Blair Witch Lives. Lifeless By Daylight might simply recreate this labrinth-like forest, together with vital little particulars such because the Blair Witch’s signature stickman-like Twanas charms, and the creepy little shack within the woods wherein the characters stumble throughout. The map might even characteristic deserted campsights and empty tents to assist recreate that feeling of isolation and abandonment that’s current within the movie.
Whereas the inclusion of mills could take away from the environment of the Black Hills, the mechanic can at all times be swapped out for one thing to do with the Twanas charms. Maybe survivors must untie and accumulate them from bushes scattered throughout the maps to find the exit, after which attempt to get out earlier than the witch hunts them down. One other nod to the movie may very well be the inclusion of a particular basement hook within the deserted shack/cabin that the Blair Witch is proven to take her victims.
IT’s City of Derry + Underground Sewers
![IT's town of Derry](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Derry.jpg?resize=1000%2C563)
Don’t inform me you couldn’t think about the city of Derry as a Lifeless By Daylight map, full with an underground part that includes the darkish, spooky sewers the place the ultimate showdown with Pennywise takes place. The map may very well be break up into two halves, an higher part that options the streets of Derry, lined with homes containing mills and hiding spots, and an underground part that includes the sewers, with extra mills and naturally, hooks.
Gamers might soar between every part with using ladders and potholes, and there might ever be a lot of soar scares labored in to the sewers, reminiscent of a creepy look or voice line from Pennywise upon coming into, much like the sound results utilized in Silent Hill’s Midwich Elementary Faculty map.
Slenderman Forest
![Slender Man](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Slenderman-forest-1.jpg?resize=1000%2C563)
I do know, I do know, one other creepy forest? Certain, Black Hills is already talked about above, however hear me out on this one. Who remembers when Slenderman despatched the web right into a craze with the indie horror sport, Slender: The Eight Pages in round 2012 or so?
Everybody, in every single place was scaring the hell out of themselves with that sport, and there’s no denying that in his prime, Slenderman was one of the iconic horror figures of all time. So simply what would make a Slenderman Forest map so particular compared to any common forest? Properly, Slenderman Forest presents the possibility to take away mills from a map, and substitute them with a web page mechanic. Slender: The Eight Pages has the participant accumulate 8 pages with clues about Slenderman, while making an attempt to not be caught by the faceless, fearsome man himself. However, have you ever ever questioned who wrote these pages?
I feel that on this state of affairs, the Lifeless By Daylight survivors may be those writing the pages as warning to others about Slenderan and the Entity. Mills take a hard and fast time to finish, so this may be replicated in survivors having a hard and fast time to write down the pages, and stick them to a number of designated areas, reminiscent of bushes and buildings, earlier than lastly escaping by means of the exit.
Simply as mills may be interrupted, there could be a writing mechanic the place a pencil or pen is dropped upon a failed verify, and the survivor should choose it again up utilizing a flashlight, subsequently alerting the killer with a quick flash of sunshine, and momentary location reveal. This could make this map a selected problem and actually shake issues up a bit, holding issues recent with new mechanics and featured inside a brand new, however acquainted location for a lot of.
The Conjuring Home & Surrounding Property
![The Conjuring](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/The-Conjuring-house.jpg?resize=1000%2C563)
Should you’re a horror fan, you’ll recognise this horror film location immediately. Sure, it’s the unforgettably creepy home setting of the primary The Conjuring movie primarily based on Ed and Lorraine Warren’s paranormal investigations. With this place being one of the widespread horror and paranormal areas each within the horror movie franchise, in addition to in real-life, many gamers will personally really feel the fear run by means of them because the killer chases them round such a setting.
Incorporating the Conjuring home and its surrounding property in Lifeless By Daylight can be the right crossover, contemplating how widespread the Conjuring franchise has turn out to be with its a number of movies and spin-offs. There are many areas to throw mills in, in addition to an actual number of landscapes that may assist survivors disguise or killers entice their prey, reminiscent of the home itself, the open, foggy land out entrance, and the overgrown surrounding sections.
Insidious’ The Additional
![The Further in Insidious](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/The-Further-1.jpg?resize=1000%2C563)
Should you’ve seen Insidious, there’s little doubt the terrifying pink door, and dimension of The Additional is without end engraved into your mind. Severely, I’ll admit that watching this film as a teen made me a little bit paranoid of going to sleep at night time, simply in case I in some way slipped into an identical sleep paralysis or out-of-body state and wound up on this hellish place. What higher method to convey again that insidious terror, than with a map in Lifeless By Daylight?
The Additional can be such an fascinating map to seem within the sport, as there’s presently nothing fairly just like the overly-red dimension of doom as of but. Simply think about the creepy environment, and having to sneak your method across the map, repair mills, and go away by means of that iconic pink door. A map like this could actually put a knot in my abdomen every time I noticed it loading up on the display screen, and I feel that’s precisely the kind of feeling Lifeless By Daylight ought to goal to convey again in its future content material, as different maps, whereas pleasurable, usually have an underwhelming concern issue for a horror sport.
The Shining’s The Overlook Lodge
![Timberline Lodge](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Timberline-Lodge.jpg?resize=1000%2C563)
Oh, wow, The Overlook Lodge. There are few horror areas as important as this place, having appeared each in Stephen King’s The Shining, in addition to its sequel, Physician Sleep. The Overlook Lodge is sort of a big constructing, so this offers the right alternative to create a brand new indoor-only map that resembles this creepy lodging.
There’s loads of little easter eggs and symbols that may be added right into a map like this for horror followers to understand, reminiscent of a scribbled ‘REDRUM’ on one of many doorways, or the axe gap within the door from Jack’s “Right here’s Johnny!” second. Not solely this, however the structure of The Overlook Lodge is extraordinarily disorienting, which might make the right problem for survivors to navigate and proceed working as a crew, particularly when a chase with the killer happens.
Worry Avenue 1978’s Camp Crystal Lake
![Camp Night Wing in Fear Street Part 2](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Camp-Nightwing.jpg?resize=1000%2C563)
Worry Avenue’s Camp Nightwing is simply your common summer time camp set within the late ’70s to early ’80s, proper? Properly, considerably… minus all of the historic curses and bloody slaughter. However significantly, Lifeless By Daylight has been in dire want of a summer time camp map for a very long time. In spite of everything, the summer time camp slasher is simply too good of a horror cliche to move up. And whereas Friday the thirteenth’s Camp Crystal Lake might be the contender that involves thoughts first for many, that is just about a no-go, contemplating there’s already a separate Friday the thirteenth sport.
So, the subsequent smartest thing is Worry Avenue’s creepy Camp Nightwing, the summercamp that suffered when Tommy Slater was affected by Shadyside’s curse, and commenced slaughtering all the campers. There’s loads that Camp Nightwing must provide within the type of a Lifeless By Daylight map, with separate cabins, halls, and small bathroom/bathe cubicles to cover in in case you’re a survivor, and entice survivors in if you end up within the position of the killer.
It might even be notably fascinating to see if the devs needed to throw any easter eggs within the film within the map, reminiscent of Tommy’s axe being embedded in one of many buildings, or Mary Lane’s journal left dumped on the bottom, maybe with pages pulled out, mentioning the Shadyside curse. Moreover, the map might even embrace extra of this lore from the film with inclusion of the underground tunnels and chamber that Cindy finds herself caught in, and that Deena and Sam uncover in Worry Avenue Half 3.
Escape Room: Event of Champions’ Lethal Escape Rooms
![Escape Room Tournament of Champions](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Escape-Room-Tournament-of-Champions.jpg?resize=1000%2C563)
Most of Lifeless By Daylight’s maps characteristic an identical construction, which is ok, because it makes the sport comparatively simple to play when you’ve acquired the cling of the fundamentals. Nonetheless, there’s at all times the chance so as to add a map right here and there that operates in a totally completely different method, bringing one thing recent and new to the sport to interrupt up that repetition.
Escape Room: Event of Champions is an ideal instance of what a Lifeless By Daylight map may very well be. Hear me out: there’s no mills, however as an alternative, you and your fellow survivors begin in a single giant space of the map, with the remainder closed off. The killer begins in an underground stage, and has no entry to the primary space for a selected variety of seconds originally of a match, however can use this time to choose one among a number of pathways to method the primary space.
You and your survivors should work together with completely different objects across the space to realize a selected variety of ‘puzzles solved’ as a crew. After you meet a selected variety of puzzles solved, the subsequent part of map will unlock, the place you have to repeat the method in an escape room-styled format. Your goal is to remain forward of the killer, and outsmart them by hiding and holding them busy with chases whereas your crew finishes puzzles. Killers goal to interrupt and sabotage these puzzles, in addition to work together and set a lot of traps, which is able to reveal a survivor’s location when triggered.
Survivors should remedy all puzzles to make it to the ultimate space of the map, the place the exit is positioned, all whereas avoiding being slashed and hooked by the killer. Maybe some puzzles are timing-based, some are small on-screen mazes, and others are spin, or drag-based goals. Take into consideration the duties in Amongst Us, for the place I’m going with this. This creates one other aspect of problem past merely holding a button to repair a generator, and will create some significantly entertaining and nail-biting enjoyable.
