I’m not normally one for themed, seasonal gaming… but Halloween seems to lend itself particularly well to playing a particular type of game.
So what are you playing this spooky season?
This year, I’m playing through Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (DS version, via the Retroid Pocket 2S). It’s not the spookiest entry in the series, but has enough creepy castle exploration to fit the bill.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors on SNES
MY CHILDHOOD
Came to say this. Great co-op fun.
Decided to give the first Silent Hill a try finally. Figured on my small MM+ and it being an older game graphically it would be easier to handle but uh…nope! Still scaring the shit out of me :)

Luigi’s Mansion has both that fun and spooky ambiance, pretty short game also, perfect to play just for a few evening
There are a couple of really cool Metroid Zero Mission rom hacks called Metroid Spooky mission and Metroid Spooky Mission 2 which are high quality and fun to play on the GBA.
I also picked up the Resident Evil bundle earlier this year that I should fire up. RE4 is my jam.

Monster Bash by Apogee
One of the first games little-me could get running through those old MS-DOS commands
Halloweeny and nostalgic. Perfect for the season
OMG Apogee. Blake Stone, Secret Agent, Halloween Harry … So many great memories.
Never did quite get that sound blaster 16 driver working with all of them though!
Another World. Maniac Mansion.
Forbidden Forest on C64 (1983)
I’ve always wanted to play Eternal Dankness. Is it any good?
It’s considered by many, myself included, to be one of the best horror games ever made. The fact that a sequel or even a remastered version has never been made is incredibly disappointing.
Yes, very unique survival horror game. You play as people from different points of history and one of my favorite moments is when a character in 1485 in a church in France has a hallucination with hospice tents from World War I, which you later see again when you play as a different character in the same church in 1916.
Ghosts 'n Goblins, yo!
Super Metroid is an unintentional horror game.
Fun to see games that came out what you consider “recently” referred to as retro, lol. Great game though!
It’s not particularly good, but now I feel like playing through Splatterhouse again.
Castlevania: Bloodlines on Emulator on the Nintendo Switch :)
Silent hill 1 is a classic
