Brief Bio

Anubis has a natural association with Halloween due to his role as the ancient Egyptian god of mummification, the afterlife, and death, making him a popular figure for spooky costumes, decorations, and themes related to ancient Egypt, funerals, and the supernatural. His imagery, like a jackal's head and association with the underworld, aligns perfectly with the holiday's macabre and mysterious atmosphere.
