The All Hallows Project! Day 5

"Under the bed." Okay, so, technically the bogeyman doesn't have a canonical appearance. But this seems like something a reasonable person would be less than excited to see staring at them while they lie in bed."Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Civil Law, Doctor of Laws, Fellow of Royal Society, etcetera." Well this one was interesting. I wanted to keep the foreign language thing going, but there's really no more quintessentially English monster than the revered London doctor. So instead, the caption is from the first chapter of the "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde," where Mr. Utterson is reading through Dr. Jekyll's post-nominal titles."Even death may die." Art Nouveau. Cthulhu. You're welcome. The blurb is from the Necronomicon passage appearing in The Call of Cthulhu, "That is not dead which can eternal lie. / And with strange aeons even death may die."

Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde (English?), Cthulhu (Creole), Bogeyman (Traditional Chinese).

If you're wondering why there's a question mark after the word English up there, now might be a good time to discover the mouse-over text.
