The answer lies in the essence of Halloween itself—a celebration of the eerie, the monstrous, and the supernatural. Halloween is a time when creatures of the night come to life, and what better embodiment of this spirit than Godzilla?

2. Brook from One Piece
Brook, also known as "Soul King," is a musician and member of the Straw Hat Pirates in the popular anime and manga series, One Piece. What sets Brook apart, and what makes him particularly fitting for the Halloween season, is the unique twist in his backstory. Brook is an animated skeleton, brought back to life through the powers of the Revive-Revive Fruit. While his bony exterior may seem intimidating, Brook's character exudes a quirky charm. His penchant for music, witty humour, and perpetual yearning for the company of others, despite his eerie appearance, make him a beloved figure in the One Piece universe.
For collectors looking to infuse their Halloween celebrations with a dash of spookiness, this Brook anime figure from Banpresto is an impeccable choice. Standing approximately 7 1/2 inches tall, this meticulously detailed figure captures every bone-chilling detail of Brook's character. It's not just a figure; it's a masterpiece that pays homage to Brook's portrayal in the "One Piece: Film Red," as part of the esteemed Grandline Men lineup.
1. Michael Myers
On that fateful Halloween night in 1963, the world was introduced to the pure embodiment of evil - Michael Myers. At the tender age of six, he committed an unspeakable act, forever marking his name in the annals of horror history. His teenage sister became his first victim, setting the stage for a descent into darkness that no amount of psychotherapy could ever hope to undo. Michael Myers had transformed into a "Human Monster," and his insatiable thirst for blood knew no bounds.
Moebius Models' hauntingly detailed kit of Michael Myers not only captures the iconic character but also includes a front porch setting the stage for unparalleled eeriness. As darkness falls, watch in awe as the included LED lights bring a Jack'O'Lantern to life, casting an unsettling, flickering glow over the scene.
