I have the Halloween Oracle which I purchased on a whim, thinking it would be a novelty deck (guessing by the card backings and the really soapy rhymes in the guidebooks).
Turns out, it is a really awesome deck, AND lends itself extremely well to this time of year. I just never read the book, and I try to ignore the backings.
What hasn't been mentioned here is Victoria Frances Gothic Oracle - I mean, it may be too over-the-top for some, but to me it's stunning, authentically gothic and one of the few decks that captures emotions so wonderfully.
I would also second Fallen Angels Oracle. The artwork is stunning - recoloured photographs from London's Nunhill cemetery - not over the top, not campy, love it.
