HBO Max has announced that on Saturday, October 1, it will be launching a “House of Halloween” spotlight page, bringing an interactive Halloween experience to fans all month long. Recognizing that Halloween goes beyond the horror genre, this spotlight page will offer frights for all ages, costume ideas, animated episodes, and more.
Last year, HBO Max had three doors to celebrate the season, labeled “Not Scary,” “Scary,” and “Very Scary,” which suggested a title to stream based on the door that was chosen. The “House of Halloween” will feature an interactive tarot card element to help fans pick their next title to stream. Fans can click on one of the tarot cards on screen, which will lead to a recommended title based on the card. The tarot cards include:
- The Fool; reveals a surprise curated title related to horror comedies
- The Magician; reveals a surprise curated title related to fantasy/magic
- The Devil; reveals a surprise curated title related to demons/possessions
- The Executioner; reveals a surprise curated title related to slashers
- The Lovers; reveals a surprise curated title related to romance-related titles
- The Creature; reveals a surprise curated title related to creature features
In addition to the tarot-based recommendations, fans can also enjoy curated collections, including “Spirit of the Season,” “Family-Friendly Frights,” “Scoobtober,” “Very Scary,” “Costume Ideas,” and more. Select Halloween episodes from series including “South Park,” “Looney Tunes,” “The Middle,” “and “Courage The Cowardly Dog” will also be featured in the collections.
Below is a list of some of the films that may turn up when you pull your card in HBO Max’s “House of Halloween.”
