Drafting Halloween Franchise Characters for the Podcast


The Ultimate Halloween Character Draft: Diving Deep into the Horror Franchise

As the leaves turn and the spooky season approaches, fans of horror have one essential activity to prepare for: the annual gathering of the Halloweenies. This year, the community has convened around the candy bowl, ready to pick their favorite characters across the entire, sprawling horror franchise.

This year’s event builds on the tradition, featuring five exciting categories designed to capture the essence of the scares—from the final boy/girl selections and one-scene screams to crowning the absolute best kid. It’s a treat that promises to celebrate the collective love for the genre in all its spooky glory.

Beyond the fun of the draft, this community offers a deep dive into the history and lore of iconic horror media. The discussions pull from beloved franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, Chucky, Alien, and the Universal Monsters.

But this year, the focus is shifting to a darker, more intense legend: Hellraiser. Fans are eager to explore the intricate mythology and twisted themes of the Cenobites and the world of Clive Barker.

For those new to the world of horror fandom, the Halloweenies podcast serves as the perfect gateway. It provides hilariously irreverent commentaries and essential deep dives into beloved rentals, including titles like Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Manhunter, and spinoffs like Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.

The podcast is more than just a review; it’s a portal into the rich history of horror. Listeners can catch up with the gang by revisiting essential episodes that explore the origins and impact of major film franchises.

The community is thriving and offers plenty of ways for fans to connect. Dedicated listeners can engage further through various platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and X, as well as subscribing to the podcast via major platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher.

For those who want to support the ongoing content and access exclusive, irreverent commentary, a Patreon membership is available. This opens up access to deeper discussions and exclusive content covering everything from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to Darkman.

The excitement for this year’s character draft and the exploration of these iconic horror worlds makes the Halloweenies community a must-watch for anyone who loves a good fright.
