*― Bob Velseb, Spooky Month 5 - Tender Treats*

**Bob Velseb** was a serial killer who first appeared in *It’s spooky month*. In his first appearance, he tried to kill *Lila* but was distracted when *Skid* reminded *Lila* that it was spooky month and she gave him a piece of candy. He began doing the *Spooky Dance*, and was then promptly arrested by *Jack* and *John*.

He later returns as the main antagonist of *Spooky Month - Tender Treats*. Bob had escaped from prison three years later (after the events of It’s spooky month*)*, and resumes what he started by stalking *Lila*. He first stands outside *Lila*’s house smiling menacingly before he manages to enter, and tries to kill her again throughout the episode. He ends up failing and then goes to kill *Skid* and *Pump*, though he doesn’t succeed here either, and he is then shot and eventually killed by *Jack* and *John*. It's later shown in a childhood picture of *Lila* and *Jaune'*s that Bob was originally a fry cook and butcher, and seemed friendly and sane, leaving the reason as to why he became a murderous cannibal unknown, and with the only thing being revealed is that he apparently had a fixation on *Lila*, which lead to him targeting her twice.

## Appearance

Bob was a tall, overweight adult man with black hair and a wide, toothy grin. In *Spooky Month 4 - Deadly Smiles*, he appeared on TV for a short while in his inmate outfit. In the first scene of *Spooky Month 5 - Tender Treats*, he wore a red shirt with a black collar and sleeves along with black pants, and shoes. When murdering people, he would wear his usual attire plus a dark red turtleneck sweater, red devil mask with horns, and red demon gloves. Underneath his sweater, he has a belt which holds a smaller knife, a carving fork, his knife sharpener and a salt shaker. He can be seen chasing victims with his knife and knife sharpener. After *Jack* and *John* shot him, he had holes in his body.

## Personality

Bob is a sadistic, bloodthirsty killer. He shows pleasure in taunting people through vile information. Before trying to kill his victims, he would say a food-related fact (specifically relating to meat or cannibalism).

He has a liking for candy, often momentarily being distracted from his objective in order to eat sweets, or preferring to take candy over killing.

## Relationships

### *Lila*

Bob seems to have known *Lila* at a very young age as seen from *Lila'*s photobook, causing her to rip up the picture in fear.

### *Jaune*

Bob also knows *Jaune* seen in the picture *Lila* tore up, she is with *Lila* and Bob in the photo.

## Trivia

* Despite being a cannibal, he seems to have cravings for candies too.
* On January 2nd, he escaped the local jail with two other thieves.
	+ The thieves were most likely *Fat Thief* and *Thin Thief*.
* Bob formally worked as a butcher at a restaurant called "Boys & Grills" before police temporarily closed it down. He had supposedly dismembered his victims and put the remains in the food he sold, or kept them to himself.
	+ In the *official OST for SM5*, *Skid* and *Pump* eat at Boys & Grills. Bob himself can be seen in his work attire serving burgers to Skid and Pump before leaving and stalking them in his demon costume for the rest of the OST.
* In the Newgrounds post-credits of Tender Treats, Bob was revealed to have the same pendant as the Cultists*Cultists*, implying they worked together. This could explain Bob's insane durability of being able to withstand many gunshots before succumbing to death, and implies that the cultists share this ability.
* Bob is durable, as he survived getting ran over and got shot multiple times. This is probably due to the pendant in his chest, supposedly causing immortality.
* Bob has been drawn drinking moonshine in two separate drawings by *Sr Pelo*, suggesting that he drinks alcohol.
* Despite seemingly just wearing a costume, if Bob DOES wear a mask and not just paint, it moves with his face, and his costume is never removed, even when in the morgue in the real ending. This may imply Bob is an actual demon or part-demon.
	+ This is supported by the fact that Pump's eyes had turned cyan near the end of the short - something that only happens in the presence of a hostile demon.
		- Bob's eyes had also become cyan at that point as well.
* His name is a pun on *Beelzebub*, one of the seven princes of Hell, who represents gluttony.
* He share's a few similarities to Dead by Daylight's rendition of *Ghostface*. Namely, finding a victim, and then using his costume to stalk them. He also holds his knife in similar ways, swapping how he holds it depending if he's in chase. Lastly their costumes depict a supernatural entity in a color-coded costume (Ghostface being monochromatic and Bob being red and black). This is likely a coincidence, as the similarities end here.
* Bob is very likely to be based on Joe Metheny, a real-life cannibal serial killer who served human burgers to unsuspecting customers.
* Bob is the first antagonist to make an appearance in Spooky Month, appearing in the first 15 seconds.
* In Bob's house at the beginning of Tender Treats, there are many items on the floor, including: 10 bones and 6 bone fragments, a sledgehammer, an axe, bloody locking pliers, and a chainsaw.
* Bob's personality is based on the two horror movies, Leatherface and Michael Myers.[1]
* As a first idea, Bob would use normal cutlery, he would use the classic large kitchen knife, but Pelo, looking for kitchen knives, found another one, a filleting knife that is used to clean the fat from the meat and remove the skin from the fish.[2]
* Bob originally would remove his facial hair (like removing feathers from a bird) and paint himself.[3]
