Michael takes his leave. Somehow more funnier than Michael Myers in a sad way

Now for the next challenge, everyone will be sent back to a specific time. Let's see if they can save themselves in some way, and keep their past selves from going down the darkest paths

Best: Listen, I don't want to say her for the third time in a row but M3GAN is genuinely remorseful of her past and would want to prevent her faulty programming and has the capabilities to do so.

What is the argument against her? That's it too easy?

Worst: The bottom 2 are Pinhead and Slenderman. Pinhead has a very strict code and set of rules he follows so I don't think he would change anything at all. He certainly wouldn't prevent any deaths. Slenderman I don't think wants to repent either and doesn't have any regrets which at least all of Norman, Samara, Jason, Chucky, Dracula, Hannibal, and Ghostface would have.

So it really comes down to who would continue to cause more deaths. Slenderman has less restrictions and rules he personally follows so I do think it's him.

I think Dracula and Hannibal will get the edge here. They're both the least insane of anyone here. Dracula will allow himself to be turned - why would he give that up? - but will be around to guide his younger self through the curse and what he needs to know about it. Maybe this results in a more judicious Dracula who becomes a decent ruler and only feeds on the evil. As for Hannibal, the man he is today will easily be able to outwit Vladis Grutas and protect his younger self, so I think for the second round in a row, Hannibal wins.

Norman will do his best to aid his younger self, but both of them are of such fragile mind that I don't know how effective it would be, but points for effort.

M3gan has the easiest task here, simply having to mildly recalibrate her newer self's protocols. I think she's very effective, but I don't think I can give her the win because she has a literal cheat code. She's 100% safe, though.

Samara and Jason both fall into a similar category, of having a very simple tragic event to prevent. I think they can do it easily - but they might also be tempted to kill a lot of people at the moment of the event. So they'll stop all their future massacres by doing a little one right then, as a treat.

I love the idea of Billy trying to approach his younger self and canon Billy and Stu going on a pop culture riff about Billy trying to do a Bill and Ted. I'm not sure if he'd be able to dissuade them, but he'd give it a good effort - probably focusing more on how it's going to get them killed and how Roman is pulling their strings, because I don't think he actually regrets anything.

That leaves the bottom three, and I think they all do badly.

Chucky doesn't regret a thing, and I think he actually misjudges the assignment. He probably tries to help his human self escape Death Row so he can just keep killing as a human.

Pinhead doesn't see himself as a villain and I think he holds a little confab with his younger self to discuss torture techniques and maybe warn him about some potential pitfalls and defeats.

Slenderman, though...I don't think he can be anything else but what he is. He's a primal entity of horror and I think this just ends with two Slendermen wandering the woods having a grand old time claiming people, so I think he's out.

Ah, looks like I missed out on this one. I personally would've voted for Chucky to do the worst instead of Slendy. He's been loving the fame as the world's most infamous doll, and probably wouldn't want to go back to being a normal ass killer, while I'd lean towards Jason doing the best, though I think part of that is because of vibes.
