    • Comment: For Halloween. Yes, these are quirkies.

Created by Vaticidalprophet (talk). Self-nominated at 12:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/.monster; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Long enough, new enough, the hooks are all quirky and interesting, and sourced. Would make for a fun Halloween hook. I think that Alt1 is best, but I'm open to seeing if others want a different one. Anyways, I think this is good to go for Halloween. Di (they-them) (talk) 18:49, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
