Last year’s character addition was the WEREWOLF… all with fangs, but some with a bit more blood & scars… some a bit cuter & cleaner! I mean… a werewolf has got to be a bit bloody, right?! That’s what they do!

A good assortment of werewolves to get you howling
tomorrow morning only on my Facebook page at 10:10am!
