Description
Technically that last picture could have been classed as a Halloween picture, and so could this: convenient AND unintentional.

So spookables. The term spookable has an in-joke-ish-not-really-funny-if-you-really-think-about-it quality to it, but the Seven Spookables were (or quite possibly are) going to be arch nemeses of the Ghost Blunders team. Maybe not arch, I haven't decided yet.

Anyway they have complex roots, it all started with "The Ghost of the House" "The Ghost of the Shed" and "The Ghost of the Box" who were then introduced into the Seven with Miasma, Gusto, Panic and 2-Bit (Now Hi-Scare.) Then House became Grimshoe, who is very very slightly referenced in Phantomime, Shed became Thingimajig, who eventually evolved into Uncle Hekyll, and Box is now Corrugattix. Also Gusto and Panic were scrapped for Mr. Wufflekins and J.P., who himself has quite an extensive backstory which is why he's the makeshift leader of the Seven. I said they were complex.

Anyway it was first unintentional, then intentional, then I couldn't really make up my mind, but several of these ghosts are send-ups of already popular geists: Uncle Hekyll has roots in Freddy Kreuger, Phantomime is not a million miles away from the Phantom of the Opera, Hi-Scare references PacMan and Miasma is inspired by the Chinese Jiangshi though I'm not too confident of her colour scheme right now. Also I might change a couple of the names: Corrugattix sounds almost sci-fi, but I was trying to hint at "corrugated" and "attic."

Anyway they have tricks up their respective sleeves, many of which are not shown but I'll hopefully be able to use them for something soon.
