It's that time of year for the spooky stuff so I was wondering if people had any plans for this month involving these types of games for the season? I figure we could use this thread to just talk about these kinds of games in general too just for fun, new and old.
I'm currently trying to find something newer to play for this season. Last year I played SOMA, which turned out to be way better than I was expecting and highly recommend it (I say this as someone that isn't really into the run and hide horror games like Amnesia and Outlast). The year before that was the Friday the 13th game, which was a good idea, it just had problems and I don't recommend it because the game is technically dead now.
Drawing a blank on this year, though I thought that maybe the Ghostbusters Remastered game could be the right choice. I loved the game when it came out on Xbox 360, so once I hear the reviews on it to see if it's a good update, I might go with that. Open to other stuff too, though I generally only like horror games if they have action to them...Resident Evil 7/RE2 Remake, Evil Within 2, Dying Light, Dead Space 2, etc, though it's not a requirement if the game is interesting in other ways like SOMA, because that game doesn't drag out the hiding and sneaking stuff and everything else about the game was super cool.
A backup I did think of would be dragging out the 'ole Xbox 360 and playing the Splatterhouse remake, because I actually liked that game and been meaning to go back to it lol Or Lollipop Chainsaw, a game I never got around to beating.

I finished Kuon before October, which really set the mood for the month. I'm taking a quick break from the horror stuff at the moment, but I plan on getting into Manhunt on the PlayStation 2.
I also have the RE2 Remake, but...eh. I'm getting sick of my PS4.

their is always Doom 64 for setting the mood and Quake 64, Doom 64 has a more creepy vibe than the original doom trilogy and spooky soundtrack to listen to while you play it
Doom 64 is also an exclusive doom game only found on the Nintendo 64, unless you count the fan made copy of Doom 64 on the PC that I think it's free, but illegal to download.
-
I plan on starting Until Dawn this weekend. It seems pretty fun!
-
I'm thinking of playing Scooby-Doo Mystery for the Super Nintendo this month.
I might try Hidden Agenda. This is a PS4 game that has you and some of your friends catch a serial killer. You can play together as a team or in competitive mood and conspire against each other.
The only sucky thing about it is you must download an app to your phone to play. You can't play with controllers.

I hadn't thought of Doom 64 but this is a great recommendation!
Last year I played REmake on GCN and Layers of Fear (was free on Game Pass) but didn't finish either of them. I've tried REmake so many times but can never get through it...
This year I'm going to start with Resident Evil 4 (Wii Edition), Luigi's Mansion (GCN) in preparation for the end of the month, and if there is time permitting try to get through Dead Space. I've wanted to play through Silent Hill (or 2) for a while now but each year Halloween comes and goes and I forget to look for them.
EDIT: Doom always comes out in November, so November is DOOM month for me. Definitely going to have to revisit Doom 64

Minecraft is a good one to pick for playing on October 31st. It is one of those games that loads different resources for that day. Most notably, it changes any pumpkins to jack-o-lanterns.
-
I might play the original Luigi's Mansion just before Luigi's Mansion 3 drops on Halloween. This series has always been my go to "scary/horror game" when October comes around.

I plan to play that eventually due to the remaster coming up next month.

Yeah I saw that was coming out at the end of the month. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get it or not, I never played the previous games, so I'm not 100% sure.
-
I procured copies of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween (albeit reproductions) for the Atari 2600 that I'm going to play. Also, MediEvil comes out so that should be fun.

I just started Castlevania: Symphony of the Night this evening. I played through over half the game about 10-years ago, but never finished it for one reason or another. It has an incredible October/Halloween vide to it. It also is one of those games that you can tell is very special and is deserving of its reputation. So far I'm really enjoying it despite dying abut 10-times already within the first couple hours of the game :p
Other than that I'll be playing Deathsmiles as part of a Facebook group I belong to, and am curious to see how that game is since I'm a fan of most other SHMUPs Cave has made. It was picked since it supposedly has a very Halloweenish vibe.
-
I've done a playthrough of Deadly Premonition every October since 2013. Also attempting to run through the classic Castlevania games this year.
-
I started White Day sometime ago, but quickly pushed it aside for other games. Might start it back up. I've been interested in playing Sweet Home after seeing ProJared play it. I do have Until Dawn, and Deadly Premonition from the PSN monthly games I could break out.
-
Just in time for the season, NG arrived yesterday. I already started it. If it's anything like Death Mark, then I'm in for a good time.
-
I lost my first (and hopefully only) character in Until Dawn last night. I don’t like that their fate was determined by a single mistaken action like 2 hours before when I had literally done everything else right.
-
I think I might give Super Ghouls and Ghosts on my SNES Classic a play for Halloween ;D
-
Yeah, Spirit Hunter: NG was damn amazing. I hate that it's already over. The good news is that there is a split path decision early in the game that will provide some incentive to replay it.
So, I found a Genesis Mini over the weekend. The first game I'm playing? Castlevania: Bloodlines. Hot damn. I feel like I already got my money's worth. This is one of the most fun entries in the series I've ever (never?) played.

I'm playing through only horror or scary type games for October as part of the 52 game challenge. So far I've finished Super Metroid and the Last of Us; and im currently playing Silent hill and Dead Space.

I played Bloodlines a year or so ago, and it’s great. It’s a shame more people haven’t played it.

I have the following lined up for October:
Outlast: Whistleblower DLC
SOMA
Uncanny Valley

I'm rather late for this topic, but I didn't play anything related to the season, but unconsciously I got into a Resident Evil kick by late September buying a few games in the series that I ended up getting this month. I also bought The Thing for PS2 on September 10th, and after a bunch of delays and mishandling by USPS, I ended up receiving the game on October 1st, which I found drolly. Additionally, I’ve been trying to find a cheap copy of Baroque for PS2 for quite a while and curiously ended up finding and getting it at a good price this month.
If I were to make any recommendation for the sake of staying on topic, but maybe for next year, I guess I would recommend The Thing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(video_game)) and Ghosthunter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghosthunter_(video_game)), as well as Michigan: Report from Hell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan:_Report_from_Hell) if imports are of no concern. Parasite Eve is also a good choice (even though the game occurs during December).
Also, Ghostbusters: The Video Game. I guess that one goes without saying, so maybe that's why nobody mentioned it.
I'm thinking of playing Scooby-Doo Mystery for the Super Nintendo this month.
Maybe give Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights a try. While I remember watching the show as a kid, I've never considered myself a fan of Scooby-Doo (although I loved “A Pup Named Scooby-Dog” growing up), but I’ve always been curious to try this game for quite a while now; I’ve had the chance of getting it, but never do.
