I love concepts like this - from "Dracula Meets the
Wolfman" to "Jason vs. Freddy", it's given me a dirty
thrill when one sort of Bid Bad encounters another on
its own turf, shifting the dynamic from something with
hapless victims to a surprise competition of
near-equals.

I think the insanity of a movie-produced serial killer
would somehow fold well with many of the unnatural
bits of the OC -- if unaware, it may even provide a
burst of adrenaline for the killer.  In a Jigsaw
situation, my impression was that he studied the
subjects carefully, so would often know something's up
- and may even see this as an opportunity to study the
adept or avatar.  On the other hand, I imagine (and
played) that adepts/avatars will often count on the
shock or other emotional impact the display of their
powers can cause,  and sociopaths of the Michael Myers
and Jason sort just wouldn't care.  They might be
confused, but would pretty much just assume they need
a new way to skewer the person who just blasted them
with a torrent of worms.
