General Lore of Halloween Terrors
Now before I get into the characters of Halloween Terrors let's start off with the general lore around the world of Halloween Terrors.
First off, what is the story?
Well the world of Halloween Terrors was initially a story told by Reinhardt during a Halloween party, in an effort to show up Cassidy's werewolf story;
(Side note: I love this comic)
However, considering how the story has progressed, I don't think that is just the case anymore. I think at this point the Halloween Terrors Universe is on the same playing field as Starwatch, that meaning I believe it is it's own separate universe.
Now what is the general backstory of this universe? Well let's start off with a few foot notes.
Before the events of Junkenstein there was a war, a war that The Gunslinger and The Solider talk about in voice lines, no other character mentions this war so it can be assumed that this war only happened in America.
The world and countries of this world are exactly the same as our own, at least existence wise. There are no renaming's of any countries.
There is no question in this universe on whether or not magic is real, magic is defiantly real. However, alchemy and divine channelling are not considered magic. Alchemy is considered science and divine channelling is considered a separate thing from magic.
It's not just Halloween monsters that are real in this universe but fantasy creatures as well, such as dragons.
Now with that out of the way let's get into the surface level story of Halloween Terrors.
The first event is Junkensteins Revenge, after being scorned and insulted by the king Dr. Junkenstein tries to prove him and everyone wrong by creating life. With body parts he acquired from The Butcher, he created his monster. However bringing it to life was proving to fail time and time again.
Until The Witch of the Wilds saw potential in him and gave him a magic crystal in exchange for his service to her;
After that Junkenstein's Monster was given life;
However as a reaction to this rampage Four Heroes appeared, The Gunslinger, The Archer, The Alchemist and The Solider. Together they banded together and put a stop the Junkenstein, his monster, The Witch and her minion The Reaper.
There was peace for a time...
But the Witch was not done, she herself wanted revenge and so she plunged Adlersbrunn into an eternal night;
Now initially four more heroes were called to aid, The Countess, The Viking, The Monk and The Swordsman. However, they were not enough as several other heroes ended up joining the fray. The Will-o'-the-wisp, The Outlaw, The Shield-maiden, The Renegade, along with the return of The Gunslinger and The Solider.
Eventually The Witch and her minions were defeated again and peace was restored.
Until Wrath of the Bride.
The Bride attacks Adlersbrunn and kidnaps the king, the only people to stop her? The Sleuth, The Outlaw, The Fortune-Teller and The Butcher.
Now I can't actually explain much about the story of The Bride without getting into theory territory and that's for another post.
After defeating The Brides allies and eventually The Bride herself, Adlersbrunn is once again at peace.
....But for how long?

Continuing with the Month of Halloween, here is another Overwatch Halloween drawing. 🎃 I always enjoy pumpkin themed outfits in video games when it’s October. From Mario Kart Tour to Overwatch, it’s always my favorite things in Halloween. The moment they revealed Bastion has a pumpkin themed color, I had to draw it already. Like Mario and Reaper beforehand, here is a drawing of Pumpkin Bastion with Moonlight Mansion from Kirby and the Amazing Mirror in the background. 🎃
