I've been exposed to all kinds of mascot horror over the years, from Five Nights at Freddy's and Bendy and the Ink Machine, to Poppy Playtime and Garten of Banban!

Mabey it would be about the zodiac killer, or have a realistic Capricorn impaling someone with its horns. Or have someone who drowned in an Aquarius slowly sinking down to the bottom of the screen as a swarm of Pisces nibbles their skin away. Oh! Or it could have a bunch of Scorpio crawling all over someone and stinging them with their stingers. Oh, it also could have a Leo eating someone WHOLE!! Okay that's it.
