Dia de los Muertos means Day of the Dead. A holiday celebrated in November 2nd.
I know its late for Dia but I couldn't think of a christmasy hero/villain for this contest challenge >_>....
I don't celebrate the holiday but I think it's really cool. I like the little skeleton dolls I see for decorations for this holiday.
