Now clear your minds. It knows what scares you.

Austin based illustrator and artist Ricardo Diseno has created some frightful oracle cards to add to your Samhain altar, give as a Halloween gift, or use as your everyday inspiration guidance. This gorgeous deck of 50 cards uses inspiration from modern, classic, and underappreciated horror movies, each using the film’s undertone theme as guidance. Each card highlights characters and concepts from said film and is paired with themes such as Family, Hunger, Nature, and Experience.

Oh, and don’t forget about those dreams… and nightmares.

I can also sincerely appreciate films used within this deck that are often looked over or barely even recognized, like THE ISLAND OF LOST SOULS, HAXAN, and EYES WITHOUT A FACE. It’s nice to see such a variety of deep cuts mixed in with classics and even some more modern horror flicks like IT FOLLOWS and HEREDITARY.

What will you learn from Cat People, Scream, They Live, Get Out, Ringu, and more? Can you guess which films embody Fate, Escape, Harvest, and Friendship? The Classic Horror Oracle Deck releases to the public on September 12th, 2023. You can pre-order your deck online at CHRONICLE BOOKS and AMAZON!
