The main face of “Hallowed Halls,” this character who started off as a book character and later a television puppet, is probably one of the more well known characters on this website, especially those with memories of being terrified by the character and her stories around the early 90s.

Hallowed Halls was a series of horror novels written by Jeffery H Klein and illustrated by his wife Deborah H Klein. The books were episodic in nature, with each story focusing on a new child facing some sort of horror. These horrors ranged from mutant butterfly people sucking out people's brains, to a story about killer curtains that strangled whoever came too close. The stories where anywhere from decently written to laughably ridiculous; however what made them stand out was the imagination of the author's inventive creatures and the books being aimed towards a young audience.

Among the cacophony of butterfly men, killer curtains, mutant hummingbirds, and evil closets from outer space, one creature would emerge as the face of the series. This creature was Winerva Woeful, a scarecrow puppet that could tell the future. However, the visions described would be so far into the future that it drove the seeker mad. When the book series was adapted into a television show, Winerva would be among the first episodes of the first season and through her creepy portrayal, she became one of the most infamous characters of the series. In future seasons she would be at the face, returning for more books written in the wake of the televised adaptation such as, “Winevera Walks at Dusk” and “The Destiny of 50000 Wakes.”
