Your top 10 best games to play on Halloween?

[Turbo Kid]

Just 10 games that you think really capture the spirit of the season. I'm curious to see what everyone chooses, here's mine:

 

[Max]

I'm not much into horror games but I'll play House of the dead, Splatterhouse, Ghosts 'n goblins and maybe try Paranoia escape

 

[Guinea]

Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp are always my go-to Halloween games.

 

[bjork]

Chiller

 

[Morgana Veil]

Splatterhouse, I'm not going to try and think of ten good horror games because a lot of good ones have already been posted, but Splatterhouse embodies the spirit of Halloween for sure.
Edit - I mean the OG Arcade version

 

[Jangiku]

Not so much horror as other games may be but I always get a kick outta this gem.
