Questions

Things people ask before they scratch.

Is this a pre-order?

Yes. The calendar is for October 2027 and ships by August 2027. You are charged when you order. Cancel any time before it ships for a full refund, and if fewer than 50 calendars are ordered the run is canceled and every order is refunded without asking. See refunds and delays.

Why order now for next October?

Because the pre-orders decide what gets printed. Thirty-one relics per edition are drawn by hand, proofed on real scratch-off stock, and printed in one run. Ordering early puts your edition in that run. Your money is treated as yours until the print order is placed.

Can I use the lists this October without buying?

Yes, and please do. Every edition is a free printable checklist, a calendar feed and a night guide for October 2026. Nothing is behind an email address.

What is The Unsealed Print?

An 18 × 24 inch print-ready PDF of the list, no scratch panels. Emailed after purchase. A plain typographic print for your own printer or a local print shop, $6, available now. No relics and nothing to scratch.

Do I see the relics before I buy?

Not the ones on the poster. Each edition page shows one concept rendering for style and scale, and three off-list relics for films on no edition are shown as they are drawn. The thirty-one under each poster stay sealed until it is in your hands.

Are the film titles hidden?

No. Titles and dates are printed in plain type above each panel, and every full list is on the site. Only the relic underneath is a secret.

Why 31 panels when the name says 30?

October has 31 days. Thirty films across thirty nights, and a thirty-first panel for Halloween that behaves a little differently.

What is the scratch layer?

Opaque latex ink, the same as a lottery ticket, proofed on the real paper stock before the run. A coin or the scraper in the tube takes it off cleanly.

What is the enamel pin?

The $39 tier adds a completion pin. It is the thirty-first panel made physical. Wear it after Halloween.

Can I buy more than one edition?

Yes. Add each to the cart; they ship together in one tube. The second edition is $5 off and the set of four posters is $99, applied automatically at checkout.

Is it a gift?

It can be. Add a gift note in the cart; it prints on the packing slip and nowhere else. The tube carries no price.

Do you ship internationally?

Not yet. Shipping is free within the United States and that is the only place it goes for now. See shipping.

Where does checkout happen?

On Shopify. We never see or store your card details.

Where is my order?

Shopify's confirmation email has a link to your order's status page. Anything else, email us with the order number.

Is any of the art AI-generated?

The printed relics are hand-drawn. The concept renderings on this site are labeled as such and are not what gets printed.
