Below is the complete chronological history of these spooky releases, starting with the newest additions to the archive.
2026 — Do You Want to Play a Game? (Saw)
The latest masterpiece by Brian Allen features a terrifying, disc golf-themed nod to the Saw franchise.

In 2025, Discraft leaned into modern grindhouse gore by summoning the "Buzzzifier"—a chilling, sharp-toothed tribute to Art the Clown. This release officially marked the highly anticipated debut of Discraft's premium, long-lasting Mega-Glo plastic to the Halloween collection, serving up an insanely vibrant, high-contrast glow blend for late-autumn night golf.
2024 — Afterlife Flair (Beetlejuice)
The 2024 milestone version introduced Discraft's first-ever triple-foil hot stamp run alongside traditional single-foil and full SuperColor finishes. Heavily inspired by classic afterlife chaos, this release adds incredible contrast and depth to any bag or wall display rack.
2023 — Arcane Rituals (Evil Dead)
Stepping back from specific slasher killers, the 2023 design drew inspiration from ancient, cursed books and a dark forest demon. Evoking forbidden ceremonies and relentless woodland shadows, this layout captures a vibe that lives just past the edge of the fairway map.
2022 — Sinister Playfulness (Child's Play)
A deceptively innocent toy became the star of the 2022 release, leaning heavily into a Chucky theme. Showcasing bright red hair matching a scarred, wicked face, this stamp emphasizes the dangerous, playful mischief that creeps into fall disc golf rounds.
2021 — The Ghostly Robe (Scream)
Paying homage to Ghostface, the 2021 drop used striking art to build massive suspense. The image of a flowing black cloak mixed with a distorted, pale face reminded throwers of the tension that comes from sudden phone calls and dark, blind corners off the tee pad.
2020 — The Cube of Horrors (Hellraiser)
In 2020, Discraft pushed boundaries with a complex Pinhead tribute. Highlighting an intricate, geometric box puzzle and a face lined with sharp metal pins, it challenged golfers to conquer their deepest course anxieties before letting their drives fly.
2019 — The Whimsical Grin (IT)
Taking notes from Pennywise, the 2019 stamp paired a whimsical circus look with a deeply terrifying tone. Complete with a manic smile, a layered ruffled collar, and floating red balloons, this design warned players that their scores might not be the only thing floating in the woods.
2018 — Wilderness Brutality (Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
The 2018 drop took players into the deep backwoods with a raw Leatherface concept. Featuring a crude mask and a heavy mechanical tool of destruction, this variant brought an aggressive, unsettling vibe to the fairway.
2017 — The Shape of Terror (Halloween)
Discraft brought out the ultimate horror icon for 2017 with a Michael Myers tribute. Wearing a mechanic's jumpsuit paired with a haunting, expressionless white mask, the artwork perfectly embodied the slow, relentless pursuit and silent panic that define the legendary film franchise.
2016 — The Nightmare Lurker (A Nightmare on Elm Street)
This release targeted the subconscious with a direct tribute to Freddy Krueger. Showcasing a weathered fedora hat and a razor-sharp clawed glove, this design blurred the lines between dreams and reality, making it an instant favorite for collectors who love classic 80s slasher flicks.
2015 — Slasher of the Deep (Friday the 13th)
In 2015, the series shifted toward cinema pop culture with an unmistakable artistic nod to Jason Voorhees. Complete with a tattered outfit and a classic hockey mask, this creepy character rose from the imaginary depths of disc golf lore to bring nightmares to anyone throwing a midnight casual round.
💡 Collector's Trivia Note
Ever wonder why Discraft's official visual timeline skips from the original 2008 pumpkin bee straight to 2015? While 2014 was technically the first character release (illustrated by Ken Frampton), 2015 marked the official debut of legendary artist Brian Allen's iconic slasher tribute run. Discraft's graphics celebrate the continuous Brian Allen era, but true collectors recognize 2014 as the true catalyst for the shift!
2014 — The Gourd-Headed Bee
The modern era kicked off in 2014 when Discraft transformed its famous logo bee into a sinister, pumpkin-headed entity. Perfectly capturing the spirit of the autumn harvest, this variant quickly caught the eyes of players and collectors hunting for a haunting aesthetic during Halloween rounds.
