Earlier this month, I made an itchio collection of microindie games for Halloween.
I'll do my own ranked list of my October horror or witchcraft games here. They're not all from my collection above!

I've been listening to a beautiful podcast miniseries, Noble, which is about the 2002 Tri-State Crematory investigation. The crematory manager stowed hundreds of people's remains on the premise instead of cremating them. The presenter, journalist Shaun Raviv, does a great job exploring the story in a sensitive and thoughtful way. I wanted to add a few more podcasts on similar topics to form a little set:
• CBC Ideas' 2014 exploration of changing funeral practices
• Ologies' 2022 interview with "thanatologist" and grief expert Cole Imperi
• Jamie Loftus' 2022 series Ghost Church, about the American Spiritualism movement and its claims of contacting the dead
• Finally, the 2021 episode of You're Wrong About about how exploitative true crime media -- which Noble is not! -- affects our brains.
