To celebrate horror fans’ favorite time of year, the folks at Nerdist and Geek and Sundry have put together a chilling slate of Halloween-themed programming dubbed Nerdoween! Here’s the complete lowdown from last week’s press release:

The spookiest time of year is fast approaching and Nerdist and Geek & Sundry are teaming up again for another season of scares during NERDOWEEN, an annual celebration of all things eerie, macabre, and just plain weird. Throughout this ominous season, NERDOWEEN will frighten and entertain once again with a full lineup of ghastly programming on Legendary Digital Networks’ Alpha, this year with three new series, Bizarre States: California, Vampire: The Masquerade – L.A. By Night, and The Dark Side. See below for just some of the hair-raising highlights:

  • NEW SERIES – Bizarre States: California
    • Bizarre States hosts Jessica Chobot and Andrew Bowser are expanding their exploration of the oddball world of the occult, supernatural, and inexplicable with Bizarre States: California, a video series building on last season’s Bizarre States: Los Angeles with even more hauntings, urban myths, and unsolved mysteries.
  • NEW SERIES – Vampire: The Masquerade – L.A. By Night
    • The Vampire: The Masquerade – L.A. By Nightchronicle follows after the events of the Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines video game, in which the Camarilla clan failed to install a new Prince of Los Angeles. Since then, they never stopped their attempts to reclaim the city as their own. Another player in the power struggle is clan Ventrue, led by Vannevar Thomas, who has declared himself Los Angeles’ new Prince. Blood, politics, and betrayal sit at the foundation of the City of Angels. This new series stars Erika Ishii (as Annabelle), Cynthia Marie (as Nelli G), B. Dave Walters (as Victor Temple), and Alexander Ward (as Jasper Heartwood), each player representing a different character from a different clan with their own motives and moral drivers. The first two episodes have entertained thousands of fans and received immensely positive responses.
