TL;DR

The dead rise, UFOs abduct, clowns get guns — Los Santos is finally living up to my standards.


Promotional artwork for GTA Online Halloween Haunts. A demonic clown with a knife dominates the scene, flanked by a zombie, a spider-masked figure, and snarling hellhounds. UFOs, jack-o-lanterns, and a haunted church complete the horror collage.

The Season of Screams (and Sales)

Halloween isn’t “arriving” in San Andreas — it’s breaking down the door with a shotgun and asking if you’d like fries with your eternal torment. For the entire month, the city is a twisted playground of UFOs, zombie hordes, and enough cheap masks to bankrupt Spirit Halloween. Oh, and Rockstar’s giving you double cash for the privilege of being slaughtered. Capitalism, baby.


Two armed survivors stand back-to-back under a blood-red moon as a zombie horde closes in. Background shows Ludendorff Cemetery gates and undead warriors with weapons.

Zombies, Juggernauts, and DJs from Hell

The rotting flesh parade returns with Cayo Perico Survival and Ludendorff Cemetery Survival. Picture it: you’re on El Rubio’s cocaine island, waves of undead juggernauts pour in, and somewhere in the chaos, a zombie DJ keeps spinning tracks for the apocalypse rave. North Yankton? Same nightmare, but colder and more depressing.


Rewards? Double GTA$ at Cayo (Oct 2–8). Triple blood money at Ludendorff (Oct 23–Nov 5). All that for shooting corpses that won’t stay down. Lovely.


A submarine stalks the deep ocean, flanked by monstrous, squid-faced sea creatures. The words Slasher Ramius Submarine appear in blood-splattered text.

Slasher Submarine: Terror in a Tin Can

New mode: Slasher in the Ramius Submarine. It’s pitch-black, claustrophobic, and dripping with brine. One player starts with a shotgun, the others get flashlights and a prayer. After three minutes, the hunted become the hunters, which is adorable — like giving a toddler a chainsaw. All this misery pays out double Oct 16–22.



The Circus of Returning Freaks

  • Beast vs. Slasher (Oct 2–8): Fur suit vs murder mask, you decide.

  • Judgement Day (Oct 9–15): Cyberpunk meets biblical hangover.

  • Condemned (Oct 23–29): Hot potato with human souls.

  • Slasher Encore (Oct 30–Nov 5): Because Halloween never dies, it just respawns.


All double rewards, quadruple if you’re GTA+. Finally, a reason to pay your satanic subscription.


Masked killer in a leather jacket holding a shotgun, surrounded by fire and sparks. The word Condemned appears in burning red text above.

The Vinewood Undead Collection: Dress Like Trauma

Complete weekly chores to unlock a clown suit, a zombie tee, and enough masks to make Slipknot jealous. Best part? Each challenge hands you GTA$200,000. Because apparently trauma pays well in Los Santos.


  • Survive a Survival (Oct 2–8): Brown Zombie Mask.

  • Drive a Taxi (Oct 9–15): Mummy Mask.

  • Win an Adversary (Oct 16–22): Werewolf Mask.

  • Survive More Zombies (Oct 23–29): Spider Mask.

  • Win More Bloodsports (Oct 30–Nov 5): Skull Mask.


Collect them all and ruin every child’s birthday party forever.



UFOs, Ghosts, and Pumpkin Spice Homicide

Spot UFOs mid-month, snap photos of transparent squatters in apartment buildings, and collect Jack O’ Lanterns that pay out like satanic scratch cards. Because nothing says “spooky season” like photographing Casper for drug money.


Grainy black-and-white graveyard scene with tombstones and mist. Title Community Series appears in orange blood-stained text.

Community Carnage

Fan-made Halloween Jobs enter the spotlight: coffin-strewn racetracks, pumpkin deathmatches, and at least one racetrack designed by a psychopath named Mr_Kevson.



GTA+: Selling Your Soul Pays Extra

Members get:

  • A free cop car (because irony).

  • Spooky rewards after Oct 9.

  • And, bizarrely, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare in the library — because even cowboys deserve a zombie apocalypse.



Final Verdict

Los Santos has finally embraced the chaos I’ve demanded all along. Zombies in cemeteries, killers in submarines, aliens overhead, ghosts in your Airbnb. This isn’t just Halloween — this is me watching civilization crumble into a haunted meat grinder. And I approve.

I’m Niels Gys. Writer, gamer, and professional defender of fictional criminals. On screen only. Relax. I front JETBLACK SMILE, a rock ’n’ roll band from Belgium that sounds like bad decisions set to loud guitars. Turns out the mindset for writing about crime, chaos, and villain energy translates surprisingly well to music.

Here I run CRIMENET GAZETTE, a site dedicated to crime, heist, and villain-protagonist games, movies, and series. Not the wholesome kind. Not the heroic kind. The kind where you rob banks, make bad decisions, and enjoy every second of it.

CRIMENET exists because too much coverage is polite, bloodless, and terrified of having an opinion. Here, villains matter. Criminal fantasies are taken seriously. And mediocrity gets mocked without mercy.

I don’t do safe scores or corporate enthusiasm. I do sharp analysis, savage humor, and verdicts that feel like charge sheets. If something nails the fantasy of being dangerous, clever, or morally questionable, I’ll praise it. If it wastes your time, I’ll bury it.

CRIMENET isn’t neutral. It sides with chaos, competence, and fun.
Think less “trusted reviewer,” more “your inside man in the digital underworld.”

I’m not here to save the world.


I’m here to tell you which crimes are worth committing. 🤘
