no.1: Luigi's Mansion cover art - GameCube
(suggested by PacePlusle)

~Happy Halloween, one and all~

Luigi has a bit of history with my Halloween Countdowns. Back in 2013 he was planned to be second place, but was kicked off of that pedestal by the Ghostbusters. I mean, I can't very well have the pretender show up the originals, now can I? Still, the eternal second banana getting ranked no.3 never sat right with me. Last year, when I revisited all of my previous countdowns, I almost put him in again but he just didn't make the cut once more -- all this mixed in with my undying love of the original Luigi's Mansion, I just felt like I needed to give the ole' Player 2 his time in the lime light much like they did all those years ago on the GameCube. So, imagine my surprise when I was given that exact opportunity! Sure, I've draw plenty of Luigi to the point I've developed my own style for him and Mario, but to actually replicate the iconic covert art of Luigi's Mansion in said style? It was a project I was both happy and eager to take on!

And as we conclude our season of scream down to yet another bitter-sweet conclusion I want to take one more moment to thank everyone who contributed to this year's Halloween Countdown. This was more than just giving fun to my watchers, but letting those of you into a very important time in my life. October is always a time for me to both enjoy myself and give something in return for my favorite holiday and this year's been particularly difficult. It was nice to see such a turn out and be reminded of why I do what I do, and I hope in some way this made you all happy too.

Once again, Happy Halloween to you all and here's hoping we can get through the end of this year mostly unscathed. Until we meet again, stay spooky my friends!
