What is "scissorman"

Scissorman is a nickname of several antagonist characters featured in horror fiction franchise Clock Tower by Human Entertainment, Sunsoft and Capcom. Each Scissorman is a serial killer, who is constantly in hide-and-seek type pursuit of the player character, and whose trademark weapon is a massive pair of scissors or garden shears that he uses to stab and cut his victims. They were introduced in the point-and-click adventure game Clock Tower in 1995 and since then have been widely regarded as one of the scariest villains in gaming history.
