If you didn't know before now, you will after this post... I like Grim Reapers. If I was ever going to get a tattoo it would be of a grim reaper. I don't find them scary at all, I find them fascinating, mysterious and a little sexy. I might have a problem...
If I had to say I had a favorite type of spooky image or type of spooky Halloween décor that I like, it would definitely be Grim Reapers.
Do you have a certain type of spooky image or décor that you like this time of year?
What is it about Grim Reapers? I'm not sure. Is it the cloak? His dominating presence? The fact that he has dark, soulless eyes or that you can't actually see his skeletal face in most pictures? Could be...
I would probably get on the boat with him if he beckoned me with those gloved hands. I definitely have a problem. I love this time of year. Bring on the Grim Reapers.
What's your favorite spooky image or décor this time of year?
If I had a favorite type of Halloween imagery, it would probably be things that evoke the ancient roots of the day, more than the modern ones. I'm somewhat partial to witches, for their association with ceremonial magic. But almost anything can be spooky and awe-inspiring in the hands of a good artist.
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with Jenny Jinya's Loving Reaper, the harvester of animal souls?
You may find this amusing. I did.
As I said yesterday we really don't do Halloween here. There are commercial images in the shops that leave me cold.
ReplyDeleteI have always like Terry Pratchett's DEATH and like your previous commentator warm to witches.
As Blue Oyster Cult says, Don' Fear the Reaper!
