Call of Duty: Warzone will be receiving a variety of new content when Season 6 arrives, most of which was revealed in a recent post for the season. The post revealed details about the content that’s coming next week, and it also dips into the Halloween-themed content for a little bit. For this year, Warzone will be receiving a Halloween event called The Haunting, and the post confirms the start date.

According to the post, The Haunting will start on October 19, then it will continue through Halloween to November 2. The post doesn’t provide too many details on the event itself, but it does provide some foreboding hints that The Haunting will center around a horror movie theme this year. The Haunting will be available for Call of Duty players to enjoy in both Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War when it comes out.
The post does state that players should check back on the main Call of Duty blog on October 18 for more information on the event. However, before The Haunting was officially announced there were some leaks about the Halloween event in Call of Duty: Warzone released online. The leaks got the name wrong, however, they did suggest that the Halloween event for 2021 will be leaning in a cult-classic horror film direction this year.
Also, the leaks stated that the Halloween event would add the iconic horror movie villain Ghostface from the Scream franchise as an operator in the game. Other leaks suggested that the event will have a second operator named “Donnie” who fans speculated is referring to the eerie bunny figure Frank from the cult-classic film Donnie Darko.
None of the information has been confirmed by the developers, but the possibility for cult-classic horror characters showing up is there. The post clearly hints that the event will have something to do with horror films, though whether any particular ones or just the genre itself remains to be seen. The previous Halloween event “The Haunting of Verdansk” in 2020 featured the horror characters Jigsaw from the Saw franchise and Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as operators in the game. The Haunting could do something similar this October in Warzone and Black Ops Cold War.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
