HALLOWEEN 2026 SIGNAL DROP · FREE PRIZE DRAW. Entries open Saturday 31 October at 12:00 GMT and close Monday 2 November at 20:00 GMT. This is the official event page.

A Halloween of indie horror
Explore the independent horror developers we’re talking to for the Saturday 31 October, 8:00pm GMT Coloured Static Press Twitch special. The games below have developer-approved gameplay/footage permissions; their appearance during the stream is under consideration, not a confirmed running order. The free prize draw is administered separately, and no game is an advertised prize until the final rules and eligibility checks are approved.
Horror livestream: Join us on Twitch Saturday 31 October at 8:00pm GMT. Watching the stream is optional and does not grant or improve any prize-draw entry.
Our free community prize draw is promoted through the website and social channels alongside the Coloured Static Press Halloween Twitch special. Entry is limited to the confirmed opening and closing times. The secure form automatically blocks submissions outside the entry window.
Halloween horror prize pool: FOUR Steam PC keys for four separate winners. Two full-commercial-release EXCISA keys (Zooyos), plus two Graveyard Shift: A Sage’s Last Stand commercial Early Access retail keys (MonkeyMan Games). The developer confirms the Graveyard Shift retail keys carry over into the planned 1.0 release; the game is currently Early Access, not a completed full release. All four keys are developer-authorised, reserved and securely held for the eventual winners. Other non-horror game keys remain set aside for future Signal Drops. Entries are accepted only through this form during the stated dates; no prizes can be claimed through comments, chat or email.
For Halloween, we are prioritising horror game spotlights. The separate non-horror Signal Drop titles are being held for future campaigns.
