Supernatural (I might even be changing my username back to Lady Winchester for the season if this is an option)
Jurassic Park/World
Pirates of the Caribbean (I'd love to bring Miranda Spano back, since it's been a while since I played her. I had to create her when Mordor did this theme on the Old Plaza because I wasn't familiar enough with the character of my rank to actually role play as him)
Guardians of the Galaxy (the movies, not the TV series)
Coraline (who wouldn't want to play as the Other Mother)
Kill Bill

I was sent here to suggest weird animals! Uhhh...
Halloweeny/spooky animals (cats, bats, spiders, snakes, toads, weird nocturnal creatures like angler fish, aye aye, potoo)
BEARS
Geese! They are obviously evil and there are plenty of different geese species, we could have a selection
Black and/or orange animals for a color theme? Orangutan, clownfish, black leopard, black bear, Tasmanian devil, indigo snake
Spooky deep sea creatures!

'halloween sucks we shouldn't do it' = spoilsport
'i'm not into the icon switcharoofest and would rather keep my own' is not only an opinion I share but exactly why I made the thing where folks can just keep their normal icons/ranks etc, so it's helpful to know that some people would like us to keep that. So as one of the folks with the job of trying to make the site kinda be more or less what most people would mostly like it to be most of the time ish, I am grateful for feedback both of the effusive and ineffusive varieties to help calibrate that. Thanks all for the input so far!

Frost: You're not taking me too seriously, are you?
Narv: Indeed. Halloween isn't culturally in my scope. And Thanksgivings either. Those days pass by as normal days in Holland. There are people who are celebrating it and some stuff is sold in shops. But I ignore it all in daily life. I just made here a bit of fun. I like your option to choose. And in the ideas of a theme... why not the characters from Downton Abbey, all masters and servants? If there is a character I like it's Daisy, the scullery maid. Played by Sophia McShera. Just a small idea. But perhaps they came by in the past as well that I don't know off?

I'd say the option not to change the icon might be good for those who don't feel like switcheroo.
There are so many suggestions that I can't even think of any! Maybe will return if something interesting comes to mind.

Considering we need 9 themes, 60 suggestions is quite reasonable.
And tagging on to the BotW theme, what about Zelda?

My last minute ideas:
For those who want to stay in ME but have some fun - ME animals. My ulterior motive is that I want to see an oliphant icon.
And

I still have these icons from last year for special ranks if you care to use them. It would be fun to have a sort of weekly lottery game/RP during October whereby folk picked numbers to win a special Halloween icon and wore it for the week. Maybe in the Shire, where a lottery would seem most likely.
