Halloween is coming up. What games are you going to play? Which ones would you recommend?

I'll start:

>Castleween (PS2 and GBA versions are both great)
>Rule of Rose
>The Addams Family (SNES)
>Clock Tower
>Castlevania series
>Scooby-Doo Mystery
>House of the Dead 1&2

Also, excellent resource here for anyone who needs recommendations:

MediEvil
Ghouls & Ghosts
Resident Evil 1-3
Typing of the Dead

Those are usually my go-to's for October.

Anyone know what's the best way to play Silent Hill 1? Emulator? I heard theres a remake, or is that the second game?

>> No.9158342

>>9158254
Remake (Shattered memories) is a completely different game, granted, it's alright, HD remakes should be avoided. It's not the type of "oh the pixel on the left bollock of the dog is lightish brown instead of red-brown and the monsters AI responds to you .5 times slower, it ruins everything", it's actually fucking terrible.
Play the first one on PS1 or the emulator, rest (2-4) on the PC with fan patch.
Here's the rest
>Origins
Trash
>5
Trash
>Shattered Memories
alright
>Downpour
Trash, but not as bad as 5 and Origins, but you'll only get that impression if you'll bother with them, which you should not.

Halloween is one of the most cringey things about USA, i don't get why they have to watch, play horror exclusively during halloween, what the fuck is this herd mentality, most of them don't even like horror or watch the same shit again and again

>Those are usually my go-to's for October.

and you listen maria cariah christmas album for december too?
And watch Baywatch in august?

I played Haunted Mansion recently, really good game, give gregory horror show a shot as well.

You asked the right person, anon. I will reply later tonight with some recommendations after I make sure I'm not forgetting anything. There are a lot of Scooby-Doo video games out there, and most of them are actually good.
This is /vr/, so you know ZAMN already.
Ghost Master (the game in the OP) is also horror-themed but not horror. The gameplay is brilliant and addictive, and it's legitimately pretty funny. It's like The Sims but you scare people with ghosts.
Castleween (also mentioned in the OP) is one of my favorites. PS2 and GBA versions are both worth playing.

>about USA
It's actually not an American holiday. It came from Ireland. As a person of Irish descent, I love the fact that my people brought the greatest holiday of all to one of the most influential countries on the planet.
I don't get why so many people whine about cultural appropriation. Having your culture appropriated is a huge compliment.
> i don't get why they have to watch, play horror exclusively during halloween
I do that all year, nigger. I eat, breathe, and live horror. But starting in August until the end of October, so does everyone else, and it's great. There's actually stuff on TV I might actually want to watch, decorations in stores I might actually want to put in my house, can run around wearing a monster mask and nobody calls the police (unless I do something illegal while I'm wearing the monster mask, in which case at least the police have a hard time identifying me).
>you listen maria cariah christmas album for december too?
Christmas is for faggots. That said, I instead recommend
>Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics
>Have Yourself a Meaty Little Christmas
>Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas
>Cryptic Collection: Holiday Edition
but I mostly listen to those to mock Christmas music. I like getting presents, but Christmas candy is mediocre, the music sucks, and the goodwill and holiday cheer just makes me sick.
>And watch Baywatch in august?
No. August is the start of Halloween. We do horror now.

Playing through Fatal Frame right now on PCSX2. I have a high horror tolerance, but that game is legit creepy. Highly recommend.

So I'd been thinking of making one of these for a while, but I finally got around to it. A chart for pre-Resident Evil horror/spooky games. Nothing after 1996.

Be kind, it's the first time I've made one of these things.

It's a bit big, so here's an Imgur for it at full size:
