Halloween Weekly Update: Stranger Things 5, Summerween & Oogie Boogie Bash News (June 15–21, 2026)

There are now just 131 days until Halloween! In this week's Halloween Weekly Update, we're covering the return of a beloved Halloween haunt in Alabama after more than 20 years, Disney's Oogie Boogie Bash selling out on Halloween night despite slower overall ticket sales, and the growing popularity of Summerween events across Tennessee. We'll also take a trip Around the Crypt with the latest on Stranger Things 5 coming to Halloween Horror Nights, Spirit Halloween's mysterious Camp Harbor Lake theme, and Code Orange sightings at retailers across the country. Plus, we remember Daveigh Chase, look back at the release of Jaws in This Week in Halloween History, read a listener review, welcome a new member to the Pumpkin Room, and ask this week's community question.
