We may have Attack Helicopter Week, 80s August, Monochrome May, and finally Jolly Jinglings to close out the year, but the theme event that started them all is October’s Festival of Dread!

And this year’s Festival of Dread event promises to be even bigger than the last! We have plenty of Halloween-themed pieces coming your way, including multiple features, the return of Box Art Bombshells, video game and comic book reviews, and more! It’ll be so scary, you’ll crap your pants!*

We’ve also taken the opportunity to add a few new Festival of Dread items to our TeePublic store. We don’t run any paid advertisements on The Splintering, so if you enjoy the work that we do and would like to support the site – while getting into the Halloween spirit at the same time – check out our new Festival of Dread designs here.

We certainly hope that you will enjoy the special content we have planned for our Festival of Dread, and – as always – thanks for reading!

*Note: Self-defecation not guaranteed.

You can check out more of our Festival of Dread content here, and please consider following The Splintering on social media or bookmarking the site for more independent entertainment news, views, and commentary!
