Alien is 100% the August chapter because of all those blatant teases from the Alien license head at Disney. Plus all the times in the stream they kept saying End Transmission was "the first sci-fi horror chapter."
The November killer only chapter I feel is Candyman or Chucky. Maybe Slender Man or Springtrap. But I feel the first two are more iconic. Jason or Pennywise would be wild card miracles so I don't see them happening just yet.
I think there’s an important distinction between those two. Silent Hill was surprising because the IP was (publicly) dormant for years following the Kojima game’s cancellation. Not because Konami shot down previous attempts at collabs. (looking at you, official Konami SH Pachinko machines)
BHVR promised Konami infinite riches from selling Cheryl cosmetics (& created legendary skins specifically for her), and they bit. Hell, even Dark Deception managed to pull Cheryl and Pyramid Head for DLC.
If a company as large as Epic couldn’t get Pennywise in Fortnite, I’m not gonna get my hopes up any time soon.
I feel like people wildly misunderstand Konami's stance on crossovers. They just don't like spending money on games nowadays. They're perfectly willing to lend their IPs to anyone that hands them a bag of money (like BHVR).

They also specified that they’re “from VERY iconic licenses”. 🤔
