2023 update - this went over extremely well, and is to date probably the best Christmas present I have ever managed to make for someone overall. Honestly, I'm a little sad about that, but what can you do?
Probably the most complicated, contrived gift I have ever done. No, it’s not Halloween – this is for Christmas :’D
I’m related to an unrepentant Dark Shadows fan, you see. There are weekly gatherings to watch the series, which is why I know all about the triumphs and failings of the props department – specifically in this case, regarding the cursed hand of Angelique (that bitch, uuuugh…). Unfortunately, plastic skeleton hands all seem to come in right only, unless you get an entire body…which I didn’t want or need. So the gift in this case is the less-cursed right hand of Angelique Bouchard Collins. With verification from Miskatonic University (couldn’t resist) and a letter from Professor Stokes for good measure. I may actually have had too much fun with it. We’ll see how this goes over in a few hours!
