Scissorman

Scissorman (Japanese: シザーマン, Hepburn: Shizāman) is a name used for multiple characters in the Clock Tower series, the first Scissorman appearing as the main antagonist of the original Clock Tower video game, a 10-year-old boy called Bobby Barrows. Later incarnations include his twin brother Dan Barrows and multiple copycat killers in the PlayStation Clock Tower and a pair of people called Scissorman Ralph and Scissorwoman Jemima in Clock Tower 3. The original incarnation was created by the game's creator Hifumi Kono and designed by artist Kuniomi Yoshida. He was inspired by multiple works, including the film Phenomena, film The Burning, and manga God's Left Hand, Devil's Right Hand.

Scissorman has been generally well received, regarded as among the scariest horror villains in and out of video games. This was attributed to multiple factors, including the original version's childish interests and being an early and inspirational stalking villain in video games. He is said to have inspired multiple stalking characters, including Mr. X from Resident Evil 2.
