    Dec 1 2025

    This creepy holiday bonus is wrapped in shadows and delivered straight to your ears as a gift of terror filled with fun frights!

    In The Horror Blueprint, we chart a twisted subgenre where eerie spirits gather at your door, caroling with shrieking voices screaming through the winter night.

    With a variant on Fear Architects, we twist the spotlight toward one of the great horror architects in history—unearthing the chilling foundations they built—and unveil a special surprise lurking within the same segment.

    In Echoes of the Past, the frost creeps in as we explore a chilling, cold subject that rattles like icy chains in the dark.

    Pour some hot cocoa, keep the fire burning, and brace yourself…

    ...this holiday horror gift is yours to unwrap.
