3. Darth Vader - Speaks for itself, albeit in a heavy smoker, asthmatic sort of way.
4. Darth The Governor - best baddie on the box bar none.
5. Darth Daryl Dixon - Personally, I prefer Merle as a character.
6. Darth The baddie from Toy Story of Terror (whoever that may be)
7. Darth Bowie - Released an album especially so that Ryan would carve him
8. Darth Vampire Diaries - The dark handsome one who was in Lost......for the wife.
9. Darth Christopher Lee - advancing in years but not quite a grave icon unlike number
10. Darth Peter Cushing - just because he is the grave icon of 2013 as voted for by The Church of Nosferatu.

Are you hinting at something Nos?

[nosferatu]

Only in a very subtle way. Incredibly you have noticed the small nuances of suggestion.

[Mayor of Haddonfield]

How about:

1. Laurie Strode
2. Dr. Sam Loomis
3. Stephen King
4. Darth Vader
5. The Myer's House
6. The car from Christine
7. The Bates Motel
8. Daryl Dixon
9. Daryl Dixon's cross bow
10. Superman Logo

7. Loki
8. Superman
9. A grinning jack
10. Dean from Supernatural (a girl can hope)

2 tonto
3 tinman, scarecrow and lion from the wizard of oz
4 storm trooper
5 wolverine
6 the governor
7 penny wise
8 assassins creed character
9 hagrid
10 tony stark

I'm usually on top of this but these are some patterns I'd like to see this year.

[Euri]

It's always so hard to predict what train of thought Ryan will follow! So every pattern is a wonderful surprise. However there are some that I would love to see or I think would be likely:

1. Fruit Brute or Yummy Mummy from the Monster cereals. I've seen the re-release of these and I think we should have a full set!
2. Hunger Games or Katniss Everdeen
3. Another Munsters character
4. Hawkeye from Avengers
5. MEDUSA!!! (really hoping for this one!)
6. Superman
7. Sully

And I'll have to give the others some thought.

[SuperSonic]

1. Xenomorph (Alien)
2. Luigi
3. An amazing Bat related stencil (the animal, not a baseball bat).
4. A Mascot stencil
5. Another Grinning Jack
6. Eggman or Tails (gotta show some more love right)?
7. Tim Burton
8. Gus (The Haunted Mansion)
9. The Mayor of Halloween Town
10. More great Unique Creations (nothing specific)

I've got two so far

[zombombie]

2 out of 10 this year. Ouch. Poor showing from me

[purple1worm]

I only got 3 /10
I was really hoping for a medusa and balrog.

[Zombie Pumpkins!]

Yeah, nobody really ran away with the guessing game this year. Most of you with correct predictions got around 2 or 3. With Daryl Dixon and Luigi being among the most common guesses. Also some prophetic mentions of Pennywise, Jareth, Sulley, Frute Brute, and Yummy Mummy.

But I will say... most of you were on the right track with your other guesses too. If you think about what's popular, what's oft requested, what fits with this site, and what my tastes are... well you can probably make some great educated guesses. And I did indeed want to make patterns for almost everything you suggested. Hey, many of them still might happen!
