Some trading card sets chase power. This one chases footsteps in the attic.


The new Natios TCG set, Things that Go Bump in the Night, is out today, bringing a Halloween release packed with spirits, folklore, strange legends, and a few figures that feel better left in the dark. The set pulls from Japanese Yokai stories, Canadian and Quebec folklore, and eerie modern legends to create a release that feels built for late October play sessions.


It also arrives with a new starter deck centred on La Corriveau, available at the shop, giving players a clear entry point into one of the set’s most atmospheric themes.


Yokai bring mischievous spirits into the set


This Halloween, play tricks with the Japanese Yokai cards, featuring mischievous little spirits that give the set its restless energy. Yokai stories often sit somewhere between playful, strange, and unsettling, which makes them a natural fit for a trading card release about hauntings and things hiding just out of sight.


These cards give the set a different flavour from a simple monster lineup. If you decide to collect the Yokais, every card you will play features a different Yokai, shaking things up within the Natios universe.


That kind of theme works well in a card game because it can support many play styles:


  • Yokais have very powerful effects

  • To play Yokais you will need to fuse them together

  • Spirits that feel small at first, then become hard to ignore


For collectors, Yokai cards also give the release its Halloween charm without making every card feel like the same kind of horror. Some can be spooky. Some can be sly. Some can feel like they are watching from a paper lantern across the room.

Canadian and Quebec folklore take the spotlight


The set also reaches into Canadian and Quebec folklore, which gives Things that Go Bump in the Night a strong regional identity. These are stories with deep roots, passed through oral tradition, local history, winter warnings, and fireside retellings.


The inclusion of La Chasse Galerie brings one of Quebec’s most memorable legends to the set. The tale of the flying canoe has all the ingredients a card game could want: a dangerous bargain, a wild journey through the night sky, and the feeling that one wrong move could doom the whole crew.


Then there is Marie-Josephte Corriveau, often remembered through the legend of La Corriveau. Her story has been retold in many ways, shifting between history, folklore, ghost story, and symbol. In a Halloween set, that mix gives the character real weight. It is not only about being scary. It is about how stories change after they are told for generations.


The set also includes the Wendigo, one of the most chilling figures connected to northern forests and winter dread. This legend carries serious cultural weight, so it works best when treated as more than a simple monster. In a card set built around folklore, the Wendigo can bring a sense of hunger, isolation, and warning rather than simple jump-scare horror.


Hidden themes reward players who look deeper


Deep within the set, players can also find cards tied to a thematic deck built around All Colours Sam, the Sandown clown, and the terrifying legend of Jack o Lantern. This is where the release starts to feel like a haunted cabinet of curiosities.


All Colours Sam and the Sandown clown bring an uncanny, almost surreal edge. They are not the kind of folklore that feels ancient and distant. They feel odd, close, and hard to explain. That makes them perfect for a deck theme that can surprise people at the table.


Jack o Lantern, by contrast, sits right at the heart of Halloween imagery. The carved pumpkin is familiar, but the legend behind it has darker roots. In card form, that gives the theme room to play with lantern light, bargains, wandering spirits, and the glow of something watching from the path ahead.






A strong release for spooky season


The Natios TCG Things that Go Bump in the Night Halloween Set Release with Yokai and Folklore arrives with a clear identity: eerie, story-rich, and packed with figures that feel made for October play.


The Yokai cards add mischief. La Chasse Galerie, La Corriveau, and the Wendigo give the set folklore depth. All Colours Sam, the Sandown clown, and Jack o Lantern round out the release with stranger, more unsettling themes.


For anyone ready to build around haunted legends, the new La Corriveau starter deck is available now at the shop. The cards are out, the lantern is lit, and something is already moving in the dark.
