'The Gatekeeper' was born from a question - who keeps the peace when the dead come alive?
On Halloween night, when souls stir and push against the veil, he walks the inner fences. A being woven from leaves and vines, crowned with a pumpkin head, carrying an ember-lit lamp through the dark. He is neither living nor dead - he is something older than both. His patrol keeps the emerging souls within the barrier, hidden from the human world above, and the fragile secret of their existence intact. Without him, there is no Halloween. There is only chaos.
Hand-drawn in charcoal by artist Barry Gray, this original surrealist Halloween artwork now guards your doorway. A heavy duty indoor floor mat that sets the tone before anyone even steps inside - eerie, atmospheric, and unlike anything else you'll find at the door.
Made from 100% polyester with a non-slip rubber backing, black trim, and one-sided print. Assembled in the USA from globally sourced materials. Available in 4 sizes (18×27", 24×36", 36×60", 48×72"), horizontal orientation.
