BOO! Welcome to the spooktacular Halloween edition of StarLevelUp.

Look, I know that Malaysia doesn’t really celebrate this spooky holiday, mostly because the country doesn’t have pumpkins, has a lack of cute ghosts, and has a surplus of terrifying hantu (I once had to explain what a penanggalan is to my British friends, and they wouldn’t stop screaming), but I couldn’t resist pitching a Halloween-themed gaming article to my editor.
