The folks at Protodimension magazine have done an incredible job on the new issue.

The whole award winning magazine is available for free!
Tad Kelson does some really sold articles in this one and The Thoughts Run Wild piece from Geoff Skellams is very good. The From Under The Floorboards Retrotek could be adapted to many different old school horror games.
Did I mention that the mag is a free digital download?
Much of the material could be adapted to your favorite old school games with little work.

The Day of the Rat Adventure From Stainless Steel Dragon For Your Old School Horror Games

 Get It Right Over
HERE

This is a system agnostic dungeon crawl with rats and lots of 'em. This is an eight page quick and easy dungeon to slide into and it makes a great Halloween adventure!
According to the blurb on Drivethrurpg :
More rats then you can wave a sword at! (Some with unusual powers.) Plus Traps, (With detailed pictures for the GM.) and of course, treasure. (Some fairly rare, but not unbalancing stuff here for lower level characters.)
 This is basically a low level crawl that can be easily turned into a Gothic horror extravaganza with a little DM effort. Color maps round out the package here, 
This one is like a small eight page step back in time! 
 Why Did it have to be rats! 
Maybe its me but there is a bit of an Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade vibe whenever rats are involved! 

All in all a great little eight page horror fest of ratness! 

The Free OSR PDF A Magical Medieval Society: City Guide From Expeditious Retreat Press For Your Old School Horror Games

Get It Right
HERE 
This is a soldly done and easy to use Pdf with lots going on and its free. Recently I've been rereading Edgar Allen Poe's Masque of the Red Death. The story outlines a Gothic city, the plague and enough set pieces where a book like this could be very useful to actually breath life into the surroundings!
 Here's the Roger Corman version an old favorite of mine to be sure. 

Given the nature of the product this is really a perfect fit.
See the description from Drivethrurpg :
This excerpt from A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe is the winner of 2 ENnies awards! "Best Electronic Product" and "Best Free Product". Since the release of A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe, we at Expeditious Retreat Press have fielded more questions concerning cities than other questions combined. Because of this tremendous interest in city creation and the utter lack of material to support needy GMs, we've decided to gather all the city specific information from A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe into one free product. A Magical Medieval Society: City Guide is the complete third and fourth chapters from A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe (second printing).
This is a solid fit for doing just sort of game and with Halloween upon us now is the perfect time to download this one and get started on something just like this! Best of all its free!

Archaeology seems like it’s a lot of careful picking and boring dusting that is occasionally spiced up by scenes of unspeakable evil". Also lots of trash and sewage. Much of it fossilized. Which is how we know what the locals ate and all sorts of data.
