tbh i’m not really a huge horror movie fan (but there are some i do love!) but their characters have been fun to make as Furbys with Halloween coming up. here are two i finished in the past week: Billy the puppet from Saw and Beetlejuice AKA Beetlefurb. they’re up for adoption: garlicfurb.etsy.com

There is moss attached to his face and ears.
