Just like some people, there are Pokémon that thrive in
darkness. They consort with shadows, drifting at the whims of wind and fate,
haunting everyone they encounter. These are the Pokémon that artist and
storyteller Vic Lee chose to explore in the Scary Stories collection—available at
Pokémon Center. Drawing inspiration from Dark- and Ghost-type Pokémon including
Zorua, Mimikyu, Banette, Phantump, and Drifloon, Lee applied his elaborate
black-and-white illustrative style to some of the scariest stories the Pokédex
has to offer. The result is a collection of hauntingly cool apparel, decor so
stylish it’s scary, and accessories that are frightfully gorgeous.
The darkly beating heart of the Scary Stories collection is
a series of five posters, each featuring a different Dark- or Ghost-type
Pokémon. More specifically, Lee drew from each featured Pokémon’s eerie,
tragic, and mysterious Pokédex entries to create an image that’s as haunting as
the Pokémon that inspired it. Available individually or as a series, these
posters make a bold decor statement for fans of Pokémon, Vic Lee, and
Halloween.
The artwork from the posters is replicated and expanded upon
in accessories including peculiar pins and appallingly appealing apparel to
keep you warm and stylish on adventures through forbidden forests and haunted
cemeteries. And if the posters are looking lonely, Scary Stories figures
epitomize the theme of terrifying tales by capturing the Pokémon as they emerge
from the storybooks that contain their tales. Freed from their hardcover
confines, what mischief will they unleash? Bring home your favorite Scary
Stories figure to find out.
