Horror and games are a match made in heaven (or maybe hell). Sure, the best horror movies are frightening, but add a layer of control and immersion, and you can truly terrify anyone. Sometimes it feels good to be scared. Horror games can even help you deal with real-life anxiety. 

Halloween is the perfect time of year to dip into the darkness. The genre has always been with us, lurking in the dark and occasionally creeping into the mainstream to claim a victim. These scary titles will unnerve, unsettle, and outright terrify you. Whether you want jump scares, psychological torture, or a blood-soaked battle for survival, you will find it here. We have highlighted games included with subscription services like PS Now or Xbox Game Pass, which means you won’t need to pay extra to play them.
