Can be one you will play throughout the month, or just on Halloween and then never touch till next year.

Some context: I hate scary games, they make me…scared. Got gifted Alien Isolation by my brother a few years back, made it to when the alien starts hunting you, stopped there, never picked it up.

This time I’m thinking to play Resident Evil (the first one) with my wife on a Steamdeck, that small screen can’t be that scary, right?

 

[John Bilbo]

I started playing Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition yesterday. Damn the atmosphere is still thicc in that one.

I'm also playing RE3make and OG RE4 currently.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Haven’t played the remake and it just dropped on PS+

 

[xrnzaaas]

Already replayed Dead Space Remake and Hellblade (had some horror bits) in the first days of October. I'm thinking about playing Observer, or replaying OG Silent Hill 2 / Alien Isolation.

I still have the OG Dead Space in my Steam account, maybe I should play that…

 

[envyzeal]

Spooky enough?

Throne and liberty will probably keep me busy this month, but I want to give dead space remake a go.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I did that a year before the remake was released and it still holds up really well. Only the Zero-G sections have awful controls and I'm glad they've fixed that in the remake.

 

[dreamstation]

Started Pathologic 2 again tonight after the announcement of Pathologic 3

 

[ClanOfNone]

Never played Silent Hill 2, I’ll dive into that tomorrow if the hurricane doesn’t knock out the power.

 

[Robb]

Always Luigi’s Mansion.

Not sure which one yet though. Might go for a replay of the first one.

Jesus Christ, nightmare material right there.

 

[DaciaJC]

Going to start my annual Vampire Counts campaign in Total Warhammer III on Halloween. Going through a Mount&Blade II campaign until then.

 

[SJRB]

Mortuary’s Assistant, probably.

And Bloodborne, of course.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Possibly:

 

[FreeY$L]

Silent hill 2, made it to the apartment complex level, forgot how terrifying that place is, except in third person perspective, and despite the change in perspective, its still claustrophobic. A surround sound system is essential for this game.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Gonna Blood and maybe The Bunker.

 

[Pejo]

My gf wants me to play Phasmophobia with her, so I'll be picking that up. Outside of that, I might give Dead Space remake a try if I can find it for ~$30, or that Alien Isolation game that I picked up cheap and never played yet.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Almost done with Signalis which I kept postponing and it's pretty damn good. I'd say an 8/10

I also have in my backlog

and Silent Hill 2 remake so I guess that might be it if I decide to get Metaphor.

 

[acm2000]

nothing because halloween is pointless

 

[lh032]

silent hill 2, its on the way now.

Signalis was great, a nice surprise especially at $20.

I bought Bone Totem on sale, and the console interface is so terrible that I shelved it. Looks great though!

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Finished RE2 Remake last week and now I'm playing through RE4 Remake on PC but will be grabbing it tomorrow for PSVR2. Outside of that I think that's my horror fill for this month.

 

[The Cockatrice]

nothing because halloween is pointless

 

[Guilty_AI]

the spookiest of them all: life

 

[Majormaxxx]

I was thinking:

-PT


-Hocus Pocus (not spooky but I kinda feel it fits)


-Zombies Ate My Neighbors

 

[Little Chicken]

Might finally jump into Costume Quest.

 

[Sooner]

The obvious answer is Silent Hill 2.

 

[Holammer]

Maybe play some Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion again, haven't played it since 2015. Simple graphics and it starts in a whimsical manner, but it ratchets things up a notch every time you descend further down. Even if I think the pixel jank elevates it, there's a paid HD version.

I've been aware of the Backrooms phenomenon for awhile, but I finally sat down and watched Kane Pixel's interpretation the other day and it was actually pretty good! Worth checking out in the middle of the night. The horror aspect is pretty effective as it builds slowly without employing cheap jump scares.



Just look how many Backrooms games there are on Steam, where to even begin if you want to play something? There's 353 games there (some SCP overlap).

Steam Search

[Duchess]

Alan Wake Remastered. It's not scary in the slightest, though.

I'm hoping that Visage will be on sale on PSN shortly, so I can play something a bit scarier.

 

[Punished Miku]

I turned on Still Wakes the Deep but never set aside enough time for it. Going to run through the whole thing.

I also still have Alan Wake 1 and 2 to play, so maybe I'll get to that by next October.

Clocktower is coming out and I'm interested, but will likely wait for a discount.

 

[Rivdoric]

Alan Wake, what else ?

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Possibly MediEvil remake.
Deadspace remake. Picked it up for peanuts on Series X.
Dustborn

 

[Majormaxxx]

Here's another one

Sleeping Dogs - the dlc with the ghosts

 

[Gambit2483]

RDR Undead Nightmare,
GYLT and
Luigi's Mansion 3
for me

 

[fart town usa]

I've played through Organ Quarter, VR survival horror. Awesome game.

Also played a bit of Exorcist VR, pretty damn good.

Right now I'm chipping away at HappyFunland, VR walking sim/puzzle game. Explore an abandoned Disney World filled with crude humor and horror themes.

Also playing Alone in the Dark 2024.

Plan on getting SH2 later in the month.

Also want to plow through Splatterhouse PS3, possibly C:VX, and some other VR horror.

I'm going all out this month. Also been watching horror movies in the theater and at home. Haunted Hayride/Haunted House in a week and also a corn maze/pumpkin patch. Absolutely love the Halloween season.

 

[fart town usa]

My gf wants me to play Phasmophobia with her, so I'll be picking that up. Outside of that, I might give Dead Space remake a try if I can find it for ~$30, or that Alien Isolation game that I picked up cheap and never played yet.

That's coming to PSVR2 soon! I'm so stoked.

 

[Punished Miku]

I also pre-ordered Shadows of the Damned. Forgot about that. Kind of feeling it this time.

 

[mayham2199]

Probably none. I can't stand scary games.

 

[PendekarRajawali]

Spooky enough?

Throne and liberty will probably keep me busy this month, but I want to give dead space remake a go.

How is throne and liberty? Is it p2w? I don’t mind spending money but it must be fair.

 

[Robb]

Jesus Christ, nightmare material right there.

Yeah, those CGI trailers for Smash Bros. Ultimate were just..

Hope we get another round for the next Smash Bros. game on the “Switch 2”.

 

[HyperSeg]

Realms of the Haunting and Clive Barker's Undying.

For the more modern games, Silent Hill 2 of course and maybe casting of Frank Stone.

I always play P.T. (still on my PS4 and the only game that has actually made me feel uneasy) and Zombies ate my Neighbors annually.

 

[Roman Empire]

Replaying Little Nightmares 1 and 2. Also Soma.

I don't know if I'll grab Silent Hill 2 now, but I'll eventually buy it.

 

[Krathoon]

It seems like the best time to play indie horror games. There are some pretty good collections on Steam.

You also have the Haunted PS1 collections too.

I got a couple of Backrooms games to play.

 

[El Muerto]

I got Alone in the Dark coming in from Gamefly. Also playing The Quarry. Might go through my backlog if i got time and check out The Chant, Tormented Souls, The Sinking City, Maid of Sker, and the Remothered series.

 

[Krathoon]

You have the Dread X Collections and Spookware.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Pumpkin Jack is like $3.50 on steam, may also finally play the original Until Dawn.

 

[Generic]

Fortnite is having its early Halloween event.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I got Dead Rising last week, and Alien Isolation yesterday.

I'll probably play... Apex Legends.

 

[ByWatterson]

Not for October specifically, but going for the platinum in Doom Eternal, which fits nicely with the season.

 

[amigastar]

The only acceptable halloween spooky game for me is probably Luigis Mansion 3 for the Switch since i'm not really into horror games.
