Our complete guide to Hearthstone's imminent Halloween event.
The Hallow’s End celebration returns to Hearthstone a little later on this month, and will temporarily see the Dual Class edition of Arena take over the format for the duration of the event.
Hallow’s End begins on October 17th and runs through to October 31st. It will reward players with a golden edition of Witch’s Cauldron when they log in.
The Headless Horseman Tavern Brawl will also be in play once again, and a handful of enemies from The Witchwood’s Monster Hunt single-player content will also appear in a separate Brawl.

The Headless Horseman Rides!
In this special Tavern Brawl you play the part of a Stormwind Investigator, tasked with tackling the Headless Horseman.
Your deck consists of many Stormwind Champion cards, but before you start the encounter you must first choose a costume. Here’s what’s available:
- Cat Costume – You’ll receive a cat-based deck with a Passive: Whenever a non-Boss enemy survives damage, summon a 1 / 1 Cat.
- Pirate Costume – This provides a lot of Pirate minions for your deck and you get Captain Cookie too.
- Witch Costume – This is a spell-heavy deck. If you’ve the Mana to make it happen, your spells cost twice as much but go off two times.
You’ll need to beat the Headless Horseman using your costume of choice. He has 30 Health and a three mana hero power which does two damage, split among all enemies.
