Just coming back to make one more suggestion cause it crossed my mind and well... Please?
Cloaks, all different colors, some with designs, some tattered, others sheer, hoods up, hoods down, almost capes. Yes I know these could be for other holidays but sometimes a good cloak works well with costumes right?
Also more hoodies! Subeta pet themed or even some Phug themed hoodies would be so darn adorable! Maybe even Jaxon patch minion hoodies with their little faint glows or not but have the option to transform them.
Ok I will stop now.
On 's suggestion: why not an apothecary shop background? Poisons were sold alongside medicines.
is on a very good track about Crimson Peak. It was so hotly anticipated, so an Edith doll would likely make many Guillermo fans happy, especially if it's Bloody Edith! I personally would love a Mother Ghost. Also, that dress is from Punk Rave for anyone curious. PR does TONS of steampunk/goth/fairytale-like clothing so definitely a good source of inspiration for Morostide! Since it's largely black and flowy :P (Plus quality)
? :D
Kiyo sort of played on the Hungry Ghost Festival, mistakenly referred to as "Asian Halloween". It's "the scariest month of the year for thousands of years." As well as playing on the Buddhist Obon/Bon festivals. Its to honor those who are departed, along the lines of Dia de los Muertos. :3
A relatively stable site.
All jesting aside, more apothecary/magical fantasy items that don't have awkwardly positioned background elements that just seem to clutter up or jumble things.

Yes to more Don't Hug Me I'm Scared reference items!! The series just finished up this past Father's Day, and there's plenty of material to go through.
For example, maybe take the character Roy and make him as a wearable background item? He's typically hidden in the BG throughout the videos.
I'd love to see more cats, bats and spiders.

i'd love to see some kubo and the two strings references? kubo, little hanzo, or the sisters would make good choices for rag dolls, i think. and i'd love to see more lantern items. not necessarily paper ones since, as others have mentioned, the ghost festival is a summer thing, just lanterns in general.
Thanks! Not quite what I was looking for, but I did discover this item (about 4 HA changes too late) that's just about perfect for the HA I had!
I'll have to put it back on for Morostide or something ;P
You're welcome. At least there are sorta close items, right? Always worth a shot to try suggestions!
Can we please get a Super Girl rag doll and Ghost Rider rag doll? (since hes on agents of shield now) or deadshot or joker rag dolls.
Bathory is hungry for MORE MORE I SAY. - If you think you are unattractive just remember you look like your ancestors, and hey all of them got laid-
Not sure if it's been suggested, and I know Morostide isn't officially zombies, but dang I'd love to see some more rotted clothes =/
bird and bear and hare and fish give my love her fondest wish
I'd love to see some more tribute rag dolls! I'd die for some Stranger Things-related items as well. Definitely maybe some '30's classic horror references (Dracula, The Black Cat, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Raven, White Zombie, Freaks) just to name a few. 😉

Going slightly off topic, but can Oatmeal have his own costume for Morostide? The other NPCs like to dress-up, and pet costumes are popular...
Support for Oatmeal having a costume of some sort ~
Definite support for Oatmeal in a costume.
Also, what about costumed Oatmeals as items/plushies? We have the costume pfugs already, but oh man I want little collectible costumed Oatmeals.
-rubs hands together- Ok so since the theme is dark and spooky this year, It's time to get the suggestions flowing.
I would love to see some spooky shadow backgrounds like suggested and just spooky bg's in general, Something for the ground layer like a creepy skeleton coming up out of a grave or the dirt like this: SPOILER (click to toggle)
A cat with rotting flesh that sits next to the HA or some other animal or even a creepy skeleton that sits next to the HA or even a group of skeletons that layer behind the HA but wrap around the HA's body in different ways. Bones that the HA can hold onto and have blood dripping off the end.
Reference pic for spooky bg
SPOILER (click to toggle)
Creepy scarecrows like mikidacrow suggested, would be an awesome HA hex.
Voodoo related stuff, More items like
Basically echoing like 99% of the posts, bones,black cats, just spooky spooky spooky!!!!
gonna sneak in my post from the recolors thread 'cause it fits in here more
i think a sun version and more phases of the moon would be nice... i don't know how feasible an eclipse one would be (maybe a diamond ring-style outline?), but some kind of eclipse totality one be super cool o anyway i think moons would fit for morostide because we get all the spooky nighttime stuff then, hah. gimme a regular non-hunters moon to go with and , pretty please
For this year?
Loki inspired rag doll
Cloaks with hoods raised up or lowered
Wigs inspired by Subeta pets for costumes
Auras/mists
Boots with of varying size (ankle, calf, knee high) with skulls, crosses, chains, bones, etc as decor
My suggestions for this year's Morostide? I'm insisting in ragdoll ideas for the Grand High Witch from The Witches, the ghost mother from Crimson Peak and the four main characters from The Ministry Of Time. I may post some more suggestions later.
