I would be so relieved when all the gory horrible halloween images are gone from the Poser sites. I may be squeamish but I really hate this stuff. I realise that Poser/Daz images lend themselves well to the halloween and horror themes because it enables you to exploit the uncanny valley effect and not have to try to avoid it. Personally I couldn't look at some of these things long enough to even compose an image for rendering.

I did not grow up with halloween, it is not really celebrated in my country, but I thought it was fairly harmless fun stuff for kids. Apparently I underestimated the dark side. Some of the themed products have really profoundly disturbing images, and while they may be artistic they don't make me want to buy anything. I don't have a use for the horror stuff and I don't enjoy having it thrust at me. I think next year I'll stay away from the Poser sites during this season. Carved pumpkins I can handle but rotting oozing zombies, and blood-drooling vampires no.
