I was thinking about Halloween a few minutes ago, wondering what they have in store for Servants. We know the Bathory saga is (supposedly) over, so the freebie may be different, unless they want to be trolls. But I'm questioning the themes here.

In 2015, we got Tamamo, a shapeshifting fox-lady. We also got witch Elizabeth, very stereotypical yet colorful, pumpkins and everything.

In 2016, we got a zombie girl walking like an egyptian whom qualifies for Assassin before she killed herself. As a bonus we got the non-vampiric, berserker-like Lancer form of the sane-looking aristocrat Berserker vampire. I'm not sure where the Dragon Quest fits into all of this, but the event itself looked like a Ghouls'n'Ghosts map so Liz was the fearless knight fending off vile beasts to save the day.

In 2017, we got mechas... yes, that's a Halloween trope for sure! We got a bat-themed castle ghost too, that's more like it.

In 2018, I wonder what monster we are going to get, or rather what character will represent that monster. A mirror demon (Bloody Mary)? A mermaid version of the new freebie? Or maybe a jiangshi? --they can also give us characters that has absolutely NOTHING to do with Halloween, and I would be very disappointed.
