This week, “The Mob Won.” If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up.

It was revealed today that we are getting sequels to classic cards in Duskmourn, specifically The Meathook Massacre II. Now, sequels are huge for the horror genre, so tell me: what cards are you hoping get sequels this coming spooky season?
