Introducing my Halloween Horror Nights OC: Moonbow the Lunatic
They're a mysterious cartoon-like entity who wants to spread happiness to the world, but unfortunately their idea of happiness is... twisted. They'll find any means to drag you into their rainbow wacky pomo Hell dimension and subject you to their corrupted versions of cuteness and whimsy, and they won't let go until they get a smile out of you.
They're meant to be a deliberately silly and satirical (but still affectionate) homage to creepypastas, mascot horror, horror fandom "Mary Sue" OCs, and the general concept of taking something innocent or fun and making it scary ("what if that kids cartoon was evil and fucked up???," etc.). They would star in a stage show called "Colors of Horror" and would perform alongside Hamikuma, because even tho they are their own thing, I was inspired by how Beijing (and, later this year, Singapore) had their own original creepy cute characters join Hamikuma when he started showing up in the other parks. Plus I just love Hamikuma so much. 🥺💗
I am realizing that hhn is a perfectly Universal haunt.
And its for one reason and one reason only.
A lot, and I mean a LOT of the lore goes into the dark side of creativity. How creativity can be dangerous.
Jack is a creator who makes weapons of destruction. He also uses phrases like "think outside the box", which are heavily associated with the concept of creativity
Albert literally reshaped the islands of adventure into his own twisted image, the first icon to actually do something like this.
Both Paulo and Elsa are creators by default with different mediums.
Paulo's creativity goes into the concept of horror that seems real. One of his trailers says it best. "My best performances are thanks to some rusty hooks, or a piece of rope". This entire character is about taking simple things and making scares out of them
Elsa's creativity is in her worldbuilding. If youve never deep dived hhn15 I would heavily suggest you do so. There is so much more to her than her promotional material. Creating worldbuilding with set rules that are so memorable that your characters get their own scarezone 15 years later is peak creativity
Just. Just read through Mary's diaries and see what she subject people to. Thats some Jack and Chance level macabre creativity.
Julian, while not a creator himself, is heavily focused on the creations of others. His entire persona is based on the world of old horror movies, echoes of frankenstiens monster and the phantom of the opera visible in every word he says.
Fear has nothing. Fear is defined only by his heralds and that phases me off.
Lady Luck is literally responsible for one of the most prolific hhn creatives of all time. Shes also a shape shifting actress. So. Yeah. Really creative
Chance takes the idea of a vivid imagination and turns it dark, making a mix of maladaptive daydreaming and reality bending that defined her year.
Oddfellow is a creator who is very good at making people see only what he wants them to. That is a core part of theater and film and all sorts of visual arts.
Bone, Sinist3r and Surr3al all have a type of creativity regarding their individual festivals. They all created a self centered celebration of their individual traits.
And finally, Sergio is a cautionary tale about the influence of others in your creative works, and how the environment you are in can influence how you create
cindy caine funny as fuck for putting julian in the ticket booth (the environment he loves), setting lady luck next to a pot of flowers, and then trapping paulo in a box that says “DO NOT OPEN LIVE SPECIMEN”
