HBO Max’s “House of Halloween” Hub Gets Interactive with Tarot Deck

Last year, HBO Max embraced the Halloween spirit with a horror hub that assembled frights for all ages. That entailed an interactive IT-inspired trio of doors labeled “Not Scary,” “Scary,” and “Very Scary,” that featured revolving horror titles. This year, HBO Max is back with a brand new seasonal hub that comes with a different holiday-inspired interactive element.

HBO Max will launch its “House of Halloween” spotlight page on October 1, assembling all its seasonal appropriate films, specials, Halloween episodes, and more. As for the interactive element, “House of Halloween” will feature an interactive tarot card element to help fans pick their next title to stream. Fans can click on one of the tarot cards on screen, which will then lead to a recommended title based on the card.

The tarot cards include:

The Fool reveals a surprise curated title related to horror comedies

The Magician reveals a surprise curated title related to fantasy/magic

The Devil reveals a surprise curated title related to demons/possessions

The Executioner reveals a surprise curated title related to slashers

The Lovers reveals a surprise curated title related to romance-related titles

The Creature reveals a surprise curated title related to creature features

Here’s a sneak peek at the Halloween hub, launching October 1…

In addition to the tarot-based recommendations, fans can also enjoy curated collections including Spirit of the Season, Family-Friendly Frights, Scoobtober, Very Scary, Costume Ideas, and more.
