This week is a strong list. It reminded me I got Hunter 2e and the Storyteller Screen, I need to check it out. ;-)

Are you sure that Hunter: The Vigil 2nd Edition is published by Renegade Games and uses D&D 5e as a system? I think the publisher is rather Onyx Path Publishing, and the system is Chronicles of Darkness.

Was Exalted Funeral a click bait?

Edited: No, I was blind and did not see Slasher/Paranormal, hehehe.

Exalted Funeral is one of my favorite publishers and you'll see them here often. They put out a lot of great RPGs both in house and on behalf of other RPG creators.
