“This is my character, Honest Alexander Templeton. I went for a mysterious look for my pirate, with the mix of the trenchcoat and of course the hoodoo hat.

Faithful Mariah Nightingale

“As you enter the witchdoctor's bunkhouse, you get a spooky feeling in the dark room. The spooky cauldron boils her pirate blood and her magic can make crystals move from a foot away. In the shadow, she likes to play the piano. She lights up the room with candles and lamps yet lights up your mood by giving you a seat to enjoy some tea. Her face looks at you and she says, ‘I hope that you had a good Halloween.’” - Faithful Mariah Nightingale

Dark Eric Pew
null


“Dark Eric Pew is a very powerful witchdoctor and his monstrous companions are helping him to get to El Dorado, but right now they are in Eric's dorm which looks like a cave, not just for Halloween but for their cold needs.” - Dark Eric Pew

Unfair Jonathan Thatcher
null


“You can guess but you can never truly know what creeps and spooks lurk around the corner especially if it's on Halloween, or in this case... a tunnel with a creepy pirate floating in the air and spooky eyes behind it.” - Unfair Jonathan Thatcher
