Hocus Crow has a passion for the past – particularly the ghostly bits. Graveyards at dusk, medieval curses, haunted tapestries, he loves it all. He insists he once saw a ghost toad wearing Victorian ruffles – possibly related to Ricky Rain Frog (“Same glare,” he says gravely). Whether or not the sightings are real is beside the point. Hocus lives for the lore. Bartholomew Bear swears Hocus’ Halloween party stories are the best! And he loves his midday mystery tours – they’re less scary than his midnight mystery tours (rumor has it, Hocus created the midday tour just for Bartholomew).
Mysti Ghost is the mastermind behind some of the most talked-about Jellycat soirées – her events need to be seen to be believed! Think luminous garlands, floating balloon formations, and the kind of entrance that makes guests gasp. Literally. Admittedly, her music taste leans paranormal (expect a lot of spooky synths), but once the lights dim, and the cobweb disco ball spins… Well, you’ll be glad you RSVP’d.
Broox Bat has a problem... he doesn’t like the dark. He’s not scared of it, he’d just rather avoid it (at all costs!). That means no cinema trips, no nighttime flights, and absolutely no tours of haunted houses. Plus, he can only sleep with his nightlight right beside him (yes, it’s glued to the ceiling). If you’re looking for a bat to get brunch with, Broox will be there. Just don’t invite him to dinner!
Bartholomew Bear Spider has no plans to stand against the wall all night – not when there are Halloween parties to attend, and certainly not in a costume this fabulous. With eight extra legs (plus two of his own), Bartholomew soon discovered a new world of dance possibilities. His current favorite? The “Spider-Strut”. In fact, he was so excited to show off his moves, he even forgot he was a bit afraid of the dark... for a while! Fancy dress, dancing, and sweet treats. Of course Bartholomew loves Halloween!
Amuseables Skull Planter is all about good vibes, green shoots, and taking things slow. Stick on a lo-fi playlist and he’ll chill in the corner all night. With a head full of cacti and zero time for drama, he brings zen to every haunted house. His motto? Don’t overthink it. Water lightly. And if you need advice, he’s the best in the game – he even helped Bartholomew Bear Spider decide on his Halloween costume. Need a bit of calm? He’s got you covered – top to pot.
