The story mode in Halloween: The Game hides 14 recordings across the Prologue and five chapters. Picking them up is optional, but each one adds a bit of extra story and unlocks cosmetics you cannot get any other way. Most sit in plain sight once you know which building to enter and which surface to check.
Quick answer: Collect all 14 recordings by clearing each chapter and grabbing the logs listed below, then confirm your progress in the Graveyard menu on the main menu, where each tape appears on the left once retrieved.

Prologue recordings (Smith’s Grove)
The opening chapter at Smith’s Grove holds two logs, and both are easy to miss because they sit behind you rather than along the escape route.
Loomis Log #2
Right after the chapter starts and you are told to escape, turn around and head into the courtyard. Look toward the left side of the area for a trash can. The tape rests on top of it.
Loomis Log #4
Continue to the gate that blocks your path, but do not leave yet. Turn left and follow the path past the light to a small shelter. A trash can sits there with a shelf above it, and the log is on the shelf.
Chapter 1 recordings (the Inn and service station)
Chapter 1 is larger than it first appears. Two logs are tucked into the bar and the auto shop nearby.
Loomis Log #6
Once you reach the Inn, go inside and head to the Restrooms at the back of the bar. A door on the left opens into a changing room with makeup mirrors. The log is on top of the dresser.
Loomis Log #8
Wait until the option to explore the area appears, then open the door to the garage. Head into the office where the mechanic was, and the log sits on the desk.
Chapter 2 recordings (Cemetery and Music Store)
Loomis Log #3
Enter the house north of the Cemetery and find the fireplace. The recording sits on top of the mantel.
Loomis Log #9
Step into the A-Side Music Store and walk to the back near the counter. The log rests on top of a box. Tanya is in the same spot.
Chapter 3 recordings (the neighborhood)
Michael returns to his old family home here, and both logs are inside houses along the same street. Clear the residents first, then search.
Loomis Log #1
After you find Marcus, go to the house to the left of his and move all the way to the back. The log rests on a cabinet in the hallway, and the lit area makes it easy to spot.
Loomis Log #5
Head to the house in the southeast part of the map with a yellow van parked outside. Pass through the dining room and enter the bedroom on the opposite side. The recording is on a desk in that room.
Chapter 4 recordings (three to find)
This is the first chapter with three recordings, including the first named tape, Sheriff Brackett’s Recording.
Loomis Log #10
Enter the house opposite the Wallace house. The recording sits on top of the fireplace in the living room.
Loomis Log #7
Once you get the objective to kill Annie, head to the outhouse in the southern part of the map. Inside the laundry room, the tape sits on top of a machine.
Sheriff Brackett’s Recording
When the objective to fully stalk Laurie appears, return to the house where you grabbed Loomis Log #10 and enter the one to its right. Go through the front door and turn right into the dining room. The tape is on the dining table.
Chapter 5 recordings (the final three)
The last chapter holds three recordings. Collecting Loomis Log #11 also unlocks the Collector achievement.
Laurie’s Recording
This is the easiest of the three, sitting in the house where you begin the chapter. Find the dining room and check the small table by the lamp.
Loomis Log #11
Enter the Wallace house bedroom where you found Annie. The tape is in the right corner of the same room. Picking it up triggers the Collector achievement.
Nurse Chamber’s Recording
Look for the sports field in the northeast area of the map and the house just east of it. The recording sits across from the fireplace in the living room.
How to confirm you got them all
Each recording registers the moment you select Retrieve Collectible, marked on the surface by a small circle. After a level, open the Graveyard menu on the main menu and scroll to the tape on the left to review everything you have gathered and read the extra lore attached to each one. If a chapter still shows a gap, replay it and check the exact building listed above, since the tapes only appear inside those interiors and never along the main objective path.
