i think people love him so much because unlike most horror game antagonists, he has some sympathetic aspects about him.

he isn't a mindless evil force, he actually has a motive to do what he does. and he doesn't seem that malicious... however if you dig a bit deeper, he becomes all the more disturbing and tragic.

especially if you consider his relationship to HER.

instead of simply chasing and scaring the player, he manipulates them, emotionally.
