2025 This was a rather bittersweet year for The Deadman’s Journal Showcase. Due to troubles behind the scenes, a decision was made to make it a rerun of 2024 with a few new additions. Without this year, the anthology wouldn’t branch out to Insta nor bsky.

2024 This further honed the mixed-media style The Deadman’s Journal Showcase and introduced new characters to the anthology; including the Red Lily Undertaker, Big John Desmond, Killer Princess Opal, and Count Radley.

2023 Not much happened this year aside from an improvement in the mixed media art style. Some of the new characters introduced this year include the Wendigo of Northmoor Peak, the Creature in the Crate, The Dreaded Krasue, and the Fallen Angel Killer.

2022 It was the start of a new era with many changes to the tradition. These changes include a new mixed media art style and a drastic step down from 31 drawings to 20 drawings. New characters include the Horror of the Subway, Sister Nigella, Sweet Reese, and the Shriek-O-Rama Slasher.

2021 This year marks the 5th anniversary of The Deadman’s Journal Showcase, marking a final chapter before a new era. One of the year’s new characters include the Tooth Fairy, Ban Sto, Hyde Coffinly, and “Tripp”

Ready for round 2 of the history of The Deadman’s Journal Showcase?

2020 It was a year where the world stood still because of COVID-19. Despite the worldwide lockdown, the show must go on for The Deadman's Journal Showcase. This year brought monstrosities like the Diver from the Deep, a Draugr Warlord, and Dr Alyssa Fidmi.

2019 The Deadman's Journal Showcase has debuted on Twitter for the very first time. This year introduced characters like Raisenstein, "Gus", and Kane. (Unfortunately, a majority of the art from 2019 has been deleted from the computer by accident at some point)

2018 This was the final year where The Deadman's Journal Showcase was hosted on Google+ before its demise in 2019. This season gave everything it got, before leaving to a new social media site, from the Phantom of Lillie Creek, the Headless Lumberjack, and Boris "Butcher".

2017 This was the first year where every drawing has their own story, leaving behind morbid facts and kooky humor in order to make the series more scary. This year was also the first to introduce color, and returning characters are met with new characters and their stories.

2016 Back when artist @ghaztboi.bsky.social was in middle school. He felt like he was getting too old to trick or treat, and he wanted to create a Halloween tradition using his artistic talent. So he created spooky drawings for each day of October, and thus The Deadman's Journal Showcase was born.

For the past ten years, The Deadman’s Journal Showcase has told terrifying stories from the lens of a paranormal investigator with illustrative art. This year marks its 10th year of bringing those stories. More details coming soon…

The Deadman's Journal Showcase 2025 has come to a conclusion. Before we close the curtain, why not have a look at the slideshow that compile every entry of the 2024/2025 season? Thank you for joining us this season. We'll meet again next year. ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTvv...
