    I love this content so much. The structure and framing are AMAZING. 😍 But I do also have to stick up for the owls- as far as my knowledge on Halloween’s history goes, owls were one of the first icons associated with the holiday. Because the ancient Greeks thought that a person could transform into an owl by rubbing certain oils on their bare skin and usually, the people accused of doing so were their equivalent of witches. The strigae, I believe? I may need to reread.

    Oh wow! I certainly didn't know that. Thanks for that piece of history! I actually changed my mind on that matter since then (this video is almost two years old)! I can see how they are mystical and spooky. And even more now (thanks to you)!!! 😊

    I love the stuffed people/monster decorations. Very creative. Halloween in the 1990s was so fun and I truly miss the spirit. 🎃 My grandmother had a big scary looking 2 story house that was at the end of the dead end street and we would decorate it every year for Halloween. Kids were terrified to knock on the door because the house itself had a scary vibe, and the decor made it even creepier! My cousins and I would go trick or treating throughout the neighborhood and come back home with piles of candy and trade. It’s so sad to see that neighborhood become so boring and lifeless now. Oh well. I’m carrying on the tradition in our new neighborhood with my son! Luckily this neighborhood had a lot of holiday spirit and keeps the holidays alive!! Happy Halloween 🎃

    I am really impressed by how this witch turned out. 💜🤩🌟 While I was watching the video I had such a nostalgia, because when I was young... still a child, my mother used to make this kind of stuff, not for Halloween, but for Christmas... for some reason I could smell how the materials smell (the scent)... I think I had some emotional memory lol. Thanks for that 💜

We have a lot in common... it's crazy!

But with the editing, the voiceover, and all... it's a lot! Ahah your comment is so funny (about daddy and mama). I don't know about today's magazines, I think they do. But I bought a bunch of 90s magazines, and let me tell you, some of those crafting are horrible. I'm always wondering if people were really making these! Lol! Thanks for watching!

    Hello! This is Hayden Geary from Frightman Frights. I saw your completion video for the Polar-lights Munster model kit, and I’m very impressed by your painting skills. I’ve always wanted to build this model kit for a long time. I like how you painted the model just like the box artwork. You should consider building and painting the Aurora monster models if you can get your hands on them. I’ve seen reproductions kits you can buy for pretty cheap. Also, just for the future, you may consider using grey primer spray paint before painting your model kits. I’ve found using grey primer paint and sanding the edges of model kit parts before gluing to be very helpful prior to painting. I can’t wait to see more of your creations! Your channel is very unique and nostalgic to me.

    Oh!! Hi Hayden! I LOVE what you did on Mark's channel!! Thank you so much. It's such a compliment, coming from you. You're truly an incredible artist. It was my first time building a model, and it was very interesting. I learned a lot. Thanks for the tips (for the grey primer/sanding)! I would like to build more models in the future, for sure. And if I do, I'll certainly use those tips. Thanks again. I can't wait to see more of your work on Frightman Frights' channel.
