Villager Ideas for Haunted Island?

[Khte]

My second Switch is on its way and I think I'm going to hop on the 'Haunted Island' bandwagon.
I really want my villagers to match the theme and have a general list of who would fit the theme pretty well.
My problem is it's hard for me to even look at villagers I think are 'ugly'.
I'd appreciate if ya'll could give me your thoughts! Feel free to list other villagers not on this list if you think they might fit in!
I want at LEAST one of each personality. Meaning I can get only two villagers with a duplicate personality.

UPDATE: I've gotten a lot of good ideas, thank you! I've edited the front post because I'm having a hard time deciding now!
If you have a preference of the villagers listed, please lmk!
MUST-HAVES (Villagers that will get a spot no matter what):
4/10
Lazy: Lucky, Raddle
Normal: Coco
Sisterly: Muffy
Jock:
Snooty:
Cranky:
Smug:
Peppy:


POSSIBLE OTHERS?:
Lazy: Clay, Rodeo
Normal:
Sisterly: Agnes
Jock: Genji, Peck
Snooty: Ankha, Greta
Cranky: Rasher, Roscoe, Kabuki, Spike
Smug: Ken
Peppy: Ruby

You may need the dog who’s wrapped in paper like a mummy

 

[Dormire]

Coco and Lucky for sure! They're the first one I thought of.
Coco based on Haniwa dolls, Lucky being based off of mummies.

If you are considering another Smug, I think Pietro would make a good creepy clown!

This may be a weird pick but I have had Kidd in my Pocket Camp for Halloween every year, Nan might also be a good choice. I just associate goats (especially black goats) with spooky stuff because of their ties to occult symbolism, and I've seen the movie "The VVitch" like five times.

Other than that if you're trying to narrow down who you want on your island I'd suggest looking up their house exterior. I just kind of deal with it if a villager I like has an ugly house exterior but that might be something to take into consideration for an island theme.

 

[Seira]

Zell might be cool. He fits with a black and white color scheme

 

[Ace Marvel]

It's not on you list, but Tiffany (Snooty) reminds me of Dr.Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, maybe I'm the only one that see it. But She is my recommendation.

 

[Lokidoki]

You really need Pietro to up the horror o-o

Hopkins is a blow up doll bunny not alive, Stitches/Peaches/Cube are dolls XD they were in my old dreamsweet Hollow, i miss the dead perfect trees...it worked so well on nl.

 

[xxxxnatalie]

might I suggest roscoe? I think he's a cranky

 

[Spunki]

Jitters looks like a Zombie Bird and Axel and Samson have Smiles that could Kill someone. Biskit is also kinda creepy with his pure white Eyes.

@SirBadger Yes, I agree! Lucky is def on my list. I don't think anyone would disagree with Lucky xD Thank you for the suggestion!

@Dormire Most definitely! They were the first to spring to my mind as well xD I think they definitely have a spot on any haunted island. Thank you for the suggestion!

@Nerakil Ya know, I was thinking Pietro. Especially because I HATE clowns, but he seems too 'happy'. Maybe once the island is made and the scenery is set, he might fit in more? I'm honestly still debating on him though because he might make a really good one. Thank you for the suggestion!

@moomintroll Omg I never thought to put a goat in due to occult symbolism! Kidd actually looks pretty cool! I might use him. Thank you!
I did actually look at some of the exterior houses, but even some of the 'creepier' villagers don't have creepy houses. D: It would be cool if in the future we could adjust them. Thank you for the suggestion!

@Seira Ya know I was looking at Zell for a bit, but his eyes kill me xD They look more lazy than scary. But idk maybe once I get the island aesthetic down he might fit in more. It's a bit hard to imagine some villagers when I don't have the island yet. ; A; Thank you for the suggestion!

@Teddy345 Omg she does! xD I can't believe I didn't see it before, but now I can't unsee it lol. Thank you for the suggestion!

@Lokidoki Pietro seems to be one that a lot of people suggest. Tbh I might go with him just because so many people dislike clowns.
Stitches was def one I was looking at, but I just kicked him off my current town and I kind of want to go with someone different... I might end up going with him though because I think he might fit pretty well. I've never even SEEN Peaches! But out of the three, I might lean a bit more towards Cube. Thank you for the suggestion!

@xxxxnatalie Roscoe is reaaaaaally one I was considering. I always thought he looked like some sort of demon horse lol. Along with Rodeo the bull. If I don't go with Rodeo, I think I would try to find a spot for Roscoe since they look very similar.

 

[moonolotl]

his colour scheme might be a bit too colourful but maybe stitches? im just throwing out a weirder one since everyones pointed out the obvious halloween-y villagers

 

[BlueCherry]

maybe cherry the dog too?

 

[SaltedKaramel]

A black cat would fit great here due to their association with bad luck and all that jazz (I love them don't get me wrong).

Kiki would work really well if you want another normal

 

[MyLifeIsCake]

Greta might be an interesting choice, she reminds me of the new paintings in the game that look normal then change at nighttime. Have you seen Greta's face when she gets mad?

Spoiler

Also Peck maybe, he always looked creepy to me without pupils.

 

[tonkuri]

for one thats not been mentioned, marcel maybe? i love him and hes underrated, i want more people to love him too ;_; hes a bit odd looking and a lot of people think mimes are creepy

 

[SCORPA15]

Just some ideas i had:
Clay
Cobb
Del
Drago
Gaston
Jambette
Kabuki
Mathilda
Olaf
Peck
Ribbot
Spike
Sprocket
Vic

Just trying to bring up some that haven't already been mentioned.
If your island has a story, that could definitely have an impact on who you pick for your island.

@Spunki Omg I love Biskit lol <3 I would put him on, but I have him on my current island and am looking for new ones. Otherwise he would get a spot lol. Jitters if def creepy lol I might have to put him on the 'maybe list, because I can def see him as a zombie bird . A. Thank you for your suggestion!

@moonrose Stitches I think would work, but I just kicked him off my island and I want to try other villagers. xD I'm sad I got bored of him already, cause he's really cute :c Thank you for your suggestion!

@BlueCherry Cherry is a DOLL! I was def thinking her, but she's on my current island and I want to try different villagers. ; A; Otherwise she would get a spot cause she's SO dang cute <3 Thank you for your suggestion!

@SaltedKaramel Kiki would be a good choice! . A. I guess I passed her over because that nose... kills me xD But I still might put her in because you make a good point with the black cats! Thank you for your suggestion!

@MyLifeIsCake Omggggggg I totally skipped over her because I didn't think about it, but now I can TOTALLY see her in a spooky island! She looks like one of those scary Noh masks! I really want her to have a spot! But I'm wondering if she would eb batter than Ankha for the snooty spot. ; A; Thank you for your suggestion!

@tonkuri I'm gonna be honest, I REALLY love Marcel xD But I can't see him as scary ; A; He's just such a cute! Maybe I'm partial to dogs, but I can only smile at his sweet face <3 Thank you for your suggestion!

@SCORPA15 Clay and Kabuki were also ones I was looking at tbh. but idk if I want to switch Clay with Lucky or Raddle. D: I wish he had a different personality type! And idk if Kabuki should replace Rasher or Roscoe. Some of the really good ones have all the same personality type T_T It's unfortunate. I haven't thought about adding a story to my island, but that's

 

[BlueCherry]

ok cool

Katt looks kind of creepy, in a nice way. With her fangs, you might be able to dress her up as a vampire, or something.

Ribbot and Sprocket are robots, if you want a Mad Scientist area. With Graham as the Mad Scientist.
