Halloween Horror Guide

This is Ecto-Web’s running log of the Halloween season in horror: new film and series announcements, release shifts, streaming additions, and game sales as they surface. Every entry below sits on a board labeled Confirmed, Rumor, or Debunked, and each one carries a source grade. A means an official source such as a studio, publisher, or platform. B means a reporter with a proven track record. C covers community findings and datamines. D is reserved for anonymous accounts or sources with a mixed history. Read the grade before the headline, because a D-grade rumor and an A-grade confirmation are very different things.

Nothing here gets quietly deleted. When a rumor is confirmed or knocked down, the original post is updated in place with the new label, and the timeline beneath the board records the date of every report so you can follow how a story moved.

We report on leaks when they matter, but we never host, embed, or link to leaked material, and we don’t guess at who is behind an anonymous source.
