League of Legends skin preview: Fright Night for Halloween

pcgamesn.com:

League of Legends skins will be taking a decidedly scary turn in the next patch with the release of Fright Night – a skin line that takes more than a few pointers from movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice. The MOBA will, on occasion, celebrate a certain time of year or occasion, with a set of spooky skins to be released as the night draws ever closer…

Annie, Trundle, Draven, Urgot, and Renata Glasc are all on the receiving end of a Halloween makeover this time around; the majority of the release isn’t overtly horror-themed but appears to be centered around the more whimsical side of the scariest time of year. Burton-esque, if you will.

Urgot’s visual twist shares more than a few similarities with Oogie Boogie, the animated burlap sack filled to the brim with creepy crawlies. Nothing is quite as terrifying as a bug-filled piece of cloth with crab legs scuttling towards you on the Rift – that’s even before you’ve been harpooned and dragged to your inevitable demise.

With Victorian-style clothing and a penchant for voodoo dolls, Annie is channeling her inner Wednesday Adams with this skin. Tibbers, the creepy protector, lurks in the background, knitting the Dark Child a new victim. Just real creepy stuff, Riot. Real creepy stuff.

More of your traditional horror tropes are on offer here – hockey masks and chainsaws are classic and fit Draven perfectly. At first, I figured it was a straight-up Jason Voorhees homage, but then I remembered the time Homer woke Bart up to show him his new chainsaw and figured it had to be that.

Like Morticia and Gomez, dancing away in the darkness, surrounded by cobwebs and other, weird monstrosities. Naut appears to be some kind of… large candle? Like a twisted Lumiere.
