With the same excitement that Hocus Pocus 2 stirred among families last fall, Akiti’s Halloween edition is ready to take its place in seasonal traditions. Families can pair it with our recommended movie list—curated for courage, fun, and just the right amount of spookiness.

This addition comes as the publishing industry is rethinking seasonal content. Diversity in Halloween storytelling is still rare, and Akiti is breaking ground by putting an African hero front and center. The cultural impact mirrors what we saw when Encanto took over Christmas playlists: representation resonates deeply during holidays.

By blending heritage with holiday spirit, Akiti isn’t just joining Halloween—he’s rewriting it.
