If you were going to do this song as a "project", what figures would you use? And, just to be "complete", how about a European Wild Hunt? |

I suppose you want mounted figures? The range "Dracula's America" available from NorthStar has plenty of suitable dismounted figures, but unfortunately, only one mounted figure (Pale Rider). Knuckleduster has some great mounted figures that should be easy to convert into what you want. |

I Googled, and found some very expensive ones from Etsy. With flaming lariats. Being 3D printed, I can't imagine the lassos being very sturdy. |

I just checked Etsy as well. Here's one for $2.99 USD. link |

I believe that's an STL, and I don't own a printer.
He's even less of a Hessian, but could work for a Wild Hunt. |

This is cool. link What is a 'Wild Hunt?' |

The "Wild Hunt" is a Germanic thing. I think.
Basically, on One of Those Nights, the Gods ride across the sky.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Hunt
Walpurgis Nacht, Halloween, the day "We Built this City on Rock and Roll" was released. Horrifying days.
The painting in the Wikipedia article shows it. It's a sign that the viewer is damned. In the CW song, the Cowboy is told to mend his ways, lest he be damned to join them for all eternity.
"Ghost Riders in the Sky" is an Americanized version. I actually prefer Vaughn Monroe's version that came out in 1948. |

I always considered the "ghost riders" to be cowboys not undead/skeletons. The song speaks of being soaked in sweat. A ghostly paint job on a "hell bent for leather" rider may work IMHO

The "Wild Hunt" is a Germanic thing. I think. Norse. And English folklore. And…. …like most such eldritch manifestations there are a dozen or more variations. Every county has a Black Shuck. |
