The Dreadful -- Chapter 12: James

MSperoni · 11-01-2013, 07:00 PM

I tried coming up with a typical Halloween Special, but I couldn't think of anything that didn't come across as filler or a stupid parody.

Also The Dreadful is full of undead horrors and demons and whatever else anyway, so there's not much to do to it that would make the Halloween Special stand out, at least not in the way people expect thanks to the modern idea of the holiday.

So I looked up a bunch of information about the origins of Halloween traditions, and went from there. Lighting of candles, eating little soulcakes, talking about lost/dead family members, etc.

This scene here is probably more like what Halloween actually means than the previous one, really.
