Spooky Season is a great time of year if you like either pumpkin spice or horror. I love horror movies, and so does some of the WWE 2K25 community. In their vast character creation suite, you can download user-created versions of the biggest icons in horror. I compiled a list of the absolute best ones for you to enjoy!
If you’d rather see these icons in the ring than on the loose, terrorizing teens, I’ve provided the user for each design so you can search for them in WWE 2K25.
Ghostface, Scream
Scream is probably the most popular slasher going today, and user Neon#6541991 in WWE 2K25 created this fantastic version of the Ghostface character. It looks even better in the ring than it does in the creation screen. With Scream 7 right around the corner, this is a relevant character and one you’ll enjoy using in the game.
You can tweak the character’s vitals and attributes if you want. This version is a Super Heavyweight, but you can make Ghostface any version you want.
The Grabber, Black Phone
Black Phone 2 just opened in theaters. It’s incredible — you should see it — and you can relive Finney and Gwen’s battle against the Grabber inside the ring. The Grabber’s mask has made the Joe Hill creation iconic, and the version created by user SURVIVALISTTUK#78493 looks just like the villain. I’m thinking that a Hell in a Cell would be the perfect comparison to the Grabber’s basement.
Michael Myers, Halloween
The first time he came home was way back in 1978. Michael Myers has been terrorizing Haddonfield ever since, and now he can terrorize WWE rings. This design by OrlockBJ perfectly captures the character’s essence. Myers is wearing the mechanic jumpsuit he has in every film, and the mask is in line with the better versions in the franchise. A Buried Alive or Last Man Standing match would feel perfect for the iconic killer.
Jigsaw Billy, Saw
Jigsaw is known for using his traps as elaborate trials for people who have done bad things. The Saw mascot, Billy, feels perfect for a match against some of WWE’s more dastardly heels. It’s harder to take a puppet and turn it into an in-ring character, but Snowyforce#12134 has managed to do just that with a rendering that looks like he should be riding the tricycle out to the ring. Just remember: he wants you to succeed and atone for your in-ring sins.
Pinhead, Hellraiser
There are two ways to summon Pinhead. First, you can assemble the puzzle box just right. The other is to find and download this WWE 2K25 character by Snowyforce#12134 that looks exactly like the menacing villain. I hope you enjoy it, but summon him to the ring at your own risk.
Jason Voorhees, Friday The 13th
Jason Voorhees is one of the most recognizable names and faces in all of horror. In WWE 2K25, fans have really had a good time with the character in the creation zone. There are multiple different versions, including the Sackhead Jason from Part II, the Jason in Space version, and you can even find his mother, Pamela Voorhees, as a playable character. I selected the version that closely resembles supernatural undead Jason from Friday the 13th Part VII. User Cerastes#70348 has done an admirable job of capturing the character’s decomposition and menacing nature just right. There’s even the chain around the neck for good measure. It’s the perfect way to commemorate the upcoming A24 Crystal Lake show.
Regan, The Exorcist
I’m admittedly a little biased — The Exorcist is one of my favorite movies ever made. But we also need some love in the Women’s Division here, too. Once Regan becomes possessed in the 1973 film, Linda Blair delivers a performance for the ages that matches the incredible makeup of the era. Here, user Neon#6541991 brings that creepiness to the WWE ring, where Regan can crawl backwards down the ring stairs against any opponent you choose.
The Red-Faced Demon, Insidious
If you’ve seen the Insidious films, you know that the Red-Faced Demon plays a big role in the early entries. The entity provides one of James Wan’s best jump scares at the end of the first Insidious. Now, you can bring this uber-creepy villain into the WWE ring to haunt the opposition. He’s more slight than some of the other baddies, so a high-flyer arsenal would work better with him. Design by BaddestTakeOverLTD#65582.
Valak, The Conjuring
Annabelle is great, but Valak is the best villain in the Conjuring universe. The demon we know as the Nun was in The Conjuring 2, as well as two Nun films. If this character starts running at you behind a painting in the ring, just run. Or try to counter…if you dare. Design by KieranPoss#99256.
Voldemort, Harry Potter
OK. So I know Harry Potter isn’t horror. But Voldemort scared the hell out of numerous kids in the early part of the century, and He-Who-Will-Not-Be-Named will be back in the upcoming HBO show. Voldemort is like the Yankees — he might diminish in power, but the evil never disappears. This design by Nawledge#33907 lets you see what dark magic you can pull off in the ring.
Which of these horror baddies do you prefer in the WWE ring? Personally, I feel like Jason Voorhees would be a perfect choice for John Cena’s last match.
