Great set-up and photo.
About those Holy Black Vampire Hunter sundries: I sure hope they don't smell like garlic. Did they come packed in little coffins? Were the wooden stakes included?
LOL. Honestly they were all packed in the kit as shown with some real garlic. It is like a mini luggage type case covered with dust and fake cobwebs. When it arrived the garlic was a bit rotten and it did smell bad. The ordor is long gone now, but it was a bit shocking when I originally opened the box. The good news is none of the garlic scent contaminated the products. The kit did come with a wooden stake under the wrapped vials. No coffins, but the pomade came in a ceramic cross. The shave soap was not part of the set and was offered later during one of their secret stash drops. The straight edge came with their Clue like game, Murder at the Holy Black. It was a great and fun shave this morning. I give the Holy Black credit for making some fun, themed products.
