Spooky season’s greetings, Arkham Horror fans. All Hallow’s Eve remains a frightful harbinger of things to come to the world of Arkham – and beyond. 

We’ve conspired with multiple studios to bring you not just a few nights, but an entire Week of Horror celebrating the games, books, lore, and creators behind the Arkham Horror shared gaming universe. Our investigators have consulted Anna Kaslow’s tarot cards, contacted the spirits with Jacqueline Fine, and tried to piece together the maddening visions of Gloria Goldberg to share with you today a preview of the ensuing horrors.  

Check back every day this week for new content and announcements on ArkhamHorror.com, and stay tuned to our social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, X and Bluesky so you don’t miss a thing!  

Tuesday, October 28 

On the second day of the Week of Horror, The Arcane Gamble of Harvey Walters by Rosemary Jones, the concluding book in the Drowned City series, becomes available from your preferred retailer. Arkham is overwhelmed by flooding, and from the depths strange creatures have arisen, drawn from another dimension by the approach of an ancient being determined to destroy the city. But Harvey Walters and his allies aren’t going down without a fight. 

Finally, we provide an overview of some of the best Arkham Horror games to play on a Hallowe’en-themed game night, featuring recommendations from staff members across our studios.

On their website, Fantasy Flight Games will reveal the newest parallel investigator, haunted Actress Lola Hayes, and her accompanying special challenge scenario, “Enthralling Encore.” Parallel investigators are alternate, print-and-play versions of investigators from existing Arkham Horror: The Card Game products. These investigators, along with their advanced signature cards, are fully playable in any scenario or campaign, and “Enthralling Encore” is designed to be played as either a standalone scenario or as a side-story in a campaign. 

Fantasy Flight Games will also be hosting an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session with the design team on the Arkham Horror LCG Subreddit. Head on over early to submit your questions and upvote the ones you most want to see answered. 

Fresh from trawling Kingsport Harbor, our friends at Edge Studio will release an eagerly awaited free PDF of a complete quickstart adventure for Arkham Horror: The Roleplaying Game.

Here on ArkhamHorror.com and on your podcast platform of choice, the tenth and final installment of the first season of Arkham International series will be released, which sees Trish Scarborough and Roland Banks return to familiar territory but a much less certain future. You can catch up on the previous entries in the serial today, or start where it all began in Paris, France. 

Thursday, October 30  

Over on the Fantasy Flight Games YouTube channel, the team is celebrating this year’s Week of Arkham Horror with the first of two livestreams starting at 10:30am CDT. They’ll be playing a round of Mansions of Madness Second Edition and hosting a few discussion panels about the Arkham Horror Files universe, including guest appearances by Sam Gregor-Stewart and Leah Hawthorne of Edge Studio. 

Our friends at Aconyte Books also share some of their favorite Hallowe’en reads, with everything from cozy mysteries to surrealist nightmares. 

But does still more lie in wait, perhaps, shrouded by the storied mists of Kingsport Head? What of the apocalyptic visions of new eldritch terrors looming over the entire world? Only time will tell… 

Friday, October 31 

At last, the veil between our world and that of the spirits draws thin, and the devotees of the Ancient Ones may yet receive revelations from beyond. The second Week of Horror livestream on the Fantasy Flight Games YouTube channel begins at 12:00pm CDT. During the show, the team will celebrate the community, show off some fun recipes in-person, discuss the history of Arkham Horror, and cap things off with an announcement you won’t want to miss! 

And a staticky transmission from Aconyte Books completes our Hallowe’en celebrations with a new tale from Rosemary Jones. 

The Week Ahead 

We’re excited for all that’s in store for you this week, and we hope you’ll join in the fun by tagging your favorite Arkham Horror memories, cosplays, and fan creations by sharing them with #WeekofArkhamHorror. What are you looking forward to most? Let us know on your social media channel of choice!
