Last night I was thinking about "Casper the friendly cryonicist".
Sometimes a negative type (eg frozen heads or ghosts) can be made
postive by creating a nice and likeable but misunderstood character of
that type. People then identify with the misunderstood part. Kids
choose halloween characters the identify with and like in some way.
So creating a misunderstood frozen head halloween character could be a
good thing.
