Welcome to the FIFTEENTH Gothtober Countdown Calendar!
The Gothtober Countdown Calendar™ is an annual curated time-release autumnal symposium showcasing 31 works by 31 different contributors. Behind each numbered day waits a new Halloween treat for you!
This irreverent grotesquerie of the season is a grab bag of multimedia offerings such as tiny films, crafts, recipes, stories, and more. We really want people to make strange things with their pencils, cameras, cut-outs, animations, potions, paints, and presentations.
It’s a DIY love letter to pumpkin spice, sweater weather, costumes, candy, and all that goes bump in the night. At this year’s calendars completion, Gothtober will proudly host over 400 works within its archives.
We want you to know that only the most fresh, imported cyclops eyeballs, spider fangs, and crispy peanut brittle goes into every calendar we build.
