How Turnip-Head from Howl’s Moving Castle Could Have Been Creepier

Oh, Good Old Turnip-Head! Simply a spelled Prince who just LOVES Sophie so! How cute! How tragically romantic! How… originally terrifying? Why did "Howl's Moving Castle" Turnip-Head always give me too-creepy "Hollow Man Jack" stalker vibes? The answer, of course, is in the original Diana Wynn Jones book! (and in the terrifyingly different use and portrayals of turnips across cultures… but watch and find out more!)

So - Prince or Creep? Let's dig into the roots of turnip lore to unearth this mystery! We start by looking at the differences in turnips across cultures - games, folklore, food, etc., zeroing in on such cool creepy legends as "Jack of the Lantern" or "Stingy Jack" - a folktale from Ireland and one that I've never forgotten! Then, as always, we look to the Book "Howl's Moving Castle" by Diana Wynn Jones and how differently she portrays Turnip-Head (er, just the unnamed scarecrow?) than the Studio Ghibli animation! It's not quite a book vs movie, but a deep excavation you didn't know you needed into Howl's Moving Castle Turnip-Head's origin story! So, get comfy and cozy and grab a shovel for today's Howl's Moving Castle origin and lore animation of how Turnip-Head could have been creepier!
