Call of Duty’s next season will summon Todd McFarlane’s Spawn as part of its battle pass — the series’ first to be headlined by a licensed character — and publisher Activision is going all-in on the undead hellspawn for Halloween. Call of Duty’s season 6 battle pass will include two Spawn-inspired Operators and six Spawn-themed skins when the new season launches later this month.

The games’ crossover with McFarlane’s 31-year-old comic book hero is timed to Call of Duty’s annual The Haunting event, which will run through spooky season.

Spawn will also get a “more tactical” skin, modeled after his “Commando Spawn” look from the comics and toys.

And if you prefer your Spawn well done, there’s a Burned Spawn skin for the Al Simmons Operator.

Spawn’s friends and foes are also coming to Call of Duty as skins for existing Operators. Here’s the full list, via Activision:
