👀For those of you with a keen eye at Matsuricon last weekend, you probably noticed this little scamp at my booth!
That’s right, the latest Fiend of The Forest sticker features a rather wily little guy: the Hopkinsville Goblin! In August of 1955, a hoard of these strange critters reportedly harassed a Kentucky family over the course of an evening.
No one seems to know what exactly they were. Aliens? Spirits? Cryptids? Or maybe something as simple as a group of Owls… Either way, the bulletproof little “goblins” have been theorized to live in the caves under the bluegrass state and have been attributed to multiple “little green men” encounters across the region, including the Loveland Frog encounter, as a bit of rare trivia for you!
The folks behind Frogman have actually been working on a new film, featuring these devious monsters, which I’m quite excited for, and may-or-may-not-have inspired his inclusion for this set 😉
Tune in again soon for the next design!
