Chucky

Chucky is the reason why I get scared looking at dolls in the middle of the night until now. This doll is a movie character in Child's Play in 1988. He is a "Good guy" doll that turned out to be a serial killer when a closely dying criminal performed a voodoo ritual and transferred the latter's soul in the body of a "Good guy" doll.

Witch

Witch is a magical person who casts spells which can infuse illness or curse people of whom they considered enemy. However, there are others that put spells unto a person for good reasons especially with healing.In fairy tales, a witch puts a curse on a princess for revenge or to take out their young souls to remain its' beauty.

Witches spell out words while holding a stick in order to carry out a magical action. They can also fly by riding on a magical broom.

A witch usually wears a full black outfit with a pointed hat and shoes. It also have a long nose. Other witches who steals a young woman's beauty has a young complexion.

The famous witchcraft characters are from the movie of Harry Potter.

Grim Reaper

There are no mortal people. Death is something that which every person is afraid of. We are afraid of unknowingly what would happen next when we had the end of our life and afraid of leaving what we have.

A grim reaper is the personification of death. It is told in stories that it is the one that fetches the soul of a man that has untied itself from its' body form and guides them to the other side of the world either in heaven or in hell.

By countries, there are different presentation of a grim reaper but it is well known to be in a black long robe holding a reaper that cuts out the ties between the body and the soul of man. However in Poland, it is a skeletal female that wears a white robe.

Devil

According to religious beliefs, a devil is an opposite of an angel. This is the enemy of God's humankind that tempts a person to do sinful acts. They were believe to have the power to control you and the only way to free from it is to pray and have faith in Him, God.

An ugly red skinned creature with horns, long sharp tails, a tail, black shaded eyes, and black lips are their unique features. It only wears a cover for its' genitals.
