There's something spooky brewing over at PokerStars, with the operator getting into the Halloween spirit as Spooky Season brings a packed schedule of themed tournaments to the site from October 9 through November 11.

The series features 48 Halloween-themed tournaments across 94 total events, with buy-ins ranging from just $3.30 up to $215. Alongside PKOs, players can also expect Mystery Bounties, Heads-Up tournaments, HORSE, 8-Game, and PLO varieties, providing plenty of treats rather than tricks over the next few weeks.

The crown jewel of Spooky Season comes right at the end, with the $109 Season Finale Sunday Million guaranteeing a huge $1 million prize pool on November 8.

Win Your Way Into the Sunday Million Finale

Fancy a free entry to the Sunday Million Finale? PokerStars is making that happen for players through the Spooky Season Puzzle.

Players who complete five poker challenges will earn entry into a Spooky Season All-In Shootout, with four shootouts taking place on Sundays throughout the series. Each shootout awards $100,000 worth of Sunday Million tickets, meaning a total of $400,000 in tickets alone is up for grabs.

And that's not all. You can also win Sunday Million tickets by knocking out PokerStars Ambassadors during selected Spooky Season tournaments. Ambassador events include:

Date	Event	Buy-ins	Host
October 15	Thursday Thrill	$11 / $109	Spraggy
October 22	Thursday Thrill	$11 / $109	Marle Spragg
October 23	Friday Fright Night	$8 / $75	David Lappin
October 29	Thursday Thrill	$11 / $109	Felipe Phil
October 29	Twisted Thursday	$5.50 / $55	Flavio del Valle
October 31	Haunted HORSE	$11 / $55	Seb Huber
November 1	Spooky Sunday Special	$33 / $75	Kenny Hallaert

“I’m warning everyone now, if you sit down in my Spooky Season tournament, you’d better be prepared to fight for that Sunday Million ticket,” said Spraggy. “Halloween is all about tricks and surprises, and I’ll be bringing plenty to the table.”

Plenty of Treats Across the Schedule

The opening Sunday on October 11 features the first major Spooky Season events, including the $75 Spooky Sunday Special with a $250,000 guarantee, while the $8 Mini version carries a $30,000 guarantee. The same pair returns on October 25.

Super Sunday on October 18 also brings a trio of events, headlined by a $215 tournament with an $80,000 guarantee and a $75 Mystery Bounty event with $200,000 guaranteed.

Halloween itself gets its own collection of tournaments on October 31, including the $75 Trick or Treat Mystery Bounty, $55 Monster Mayhem and $55 Haunted HORSE.
The series then builds toward its final weekend, with the $109 Season Finale Sunday Million taking center stage on November 8. The Progressive KO event carries the headline $1 million guarantee, making it comfortably the biggest guaranteed tournament on the Spooky Season schedule.

The full schedule also includes plenty of lower buy-in options, with events starting from $3.30, meaning players can get involved without needing to brave a big bankroll bite.

The final Spooky Season events take place on November 9, with the $75 Season Wrap-Up followed by the $82 Turbo Epilogue - Last Scream, bringing the Halloween-themed series to a close.
