This was the first thing that came to my mind before even reading your reply. Splatterhouse 3 is starting to become a halloween staple for me after missing out on it in my youth.

I gutted a 60s TV and put a Trinitron into it and put it on my front porch with a Wii inside and real retro controllers plugged into it. Going to run retro horror games on it as part of my Halloween decorations I'll probably post some pics of it closer to the holiday. I've got 92% on Rondo of Blood so far with an NES pad. Next may actually be REmake... Or Splatterhouse. They need to have a good Attract mode.

That's the best thing I've ever heard. Splatterhouse would be ideal.

What's that 2D zombie arcade light gun game?

I said "2D"

Carnevil, the arcade game.
Good thing its easy to emulate, eats quarters like a mo. Miss out on the pump action shotgun lightgun, though.

There is also this cool SNES platformer called Majuu Ou. Guy travels through Hell to rescue his daughter.

This game is solid hard and when you start the game, your wife's ghost is with you but she dies instead of you the very first time you run out of energy which makes it clear that you need to no-death run it to get the best ending. Sick.

Also game goes for like $800

If you are willing to slip just a bit out of /vr/ then go with Clive Barker's Undying.

I liked Jericho more. Never understood why that game was not more popular. It has a cool dual wielding pistol texan old priest as one of the characters. The ending is pure shit, though.

It's a bit cuter than your average Halloween game, but it works. It's fun, looks, plays and sounds good.
