10 super spooky horror games to play this Halloween

While nothing is stopping you from playing horror games at any time during the year, there's something extra special about scaring the pants off yourself during the month of October. Horror games are an equally fun alternative to cramming into an amusement park horror maze, and for the cost of a ticket, you can buy several games that provide many more hours of scares. Whether you like slashers, ghosts, psychological horror, or anything in between, these video games are sure to get you in the Halloween spirit. Alien: Isolation is the ultimate horror video game for the season. Set 15 years after the events of the first Alien film (1979), you assume the role of Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Ellen Ripley, and quickly find yourself exploring an abandoned space station.
