Happy Halloween week, where spooky, scary skeletons send shivers down your spine and shrieking servers speak with such a screech in ensuring they stay alive long enough to give you yet another supernatural Weekly Releases post, this time for October 31st, 2025. Have a ghoul-d time this week, and remember: we must move forward, not backward. Upward, not forward! And always twirling, twirling, twirling toward freedom! This is indeed a disturbing universe.
