Spooky season kicks off as creators share horror picks and Halloween events

Aquarium Drunkard began October by uploading each volume of Grey Haas's Trick Or Treat mixtape series for its patrons, kicking off a wave of seasonal posts. Creators shared horror watch picks such as I Know What You Did Last Summer and Zombieland and recommended new viewing windows like Widow's Bay. Artists posted seasonal work including an evil scarecrow self-portrait, a spookiest-illustration mug design inspired by a prowling wood, and a Pikachu redraw for the month. Writers offered a short spooky-season essay series aimed at authors, and one itinerary-style post marked day eighteen in Salem, Massachusetts, referencing the 1692 execution of Margaret Scott. Others suggested rituals and small traditions, for example making a partner “boo basket” filled with a horror movie, candy, and a scary book. These postings are driving communal activities this October: mixtape listening, shared watch nights, seasonal art releases, and local Halloween gatherings.
