Move the Halloween Sale to the beginning (or at least middle) of the month.

So newly purchased horror titles can be enjoyed throughout the whole (or half of the) month. As it stands we only get four days to enjoy the games before the IRL spooky vibes die off.

It is set for Halloween every year.

Steam Scream Fest 3 (cheekier name pending): October 28 - November 4

Yes, that why the suggestion is to move it. A lot of people, even those like me that do not actually celebrate Halloween, use October and the run up to Halloween to have horror marathons as there is just such a great spooky vibe during the month. For example I am watching one horror movie a night during October. It would be great if I could also play through any newly acquired games throughout the month. Currently the sales starts a few days before the Halloween fun ends and we loose the extra atmosphere it creates.

But then it wouldn't be a Halloween sale. It would be a beginning of October sale.

It would be nice if it started earlier for the given reason.

You could always play those games at the beginning of the month next year while you are playing last year's games now.

That will make it feel how actual holidays are treated over recent decade or so where we will see each respective holiday's decorations showing up much earlier than needed which sort of takes away from the holiday itself. Halloween is at the end of October, makes sense the sale would happen around that same time.
