Halloween season is upon us! For some it means dressing up like their favourite horror characters, for some it’s about drinking all that pumpkin spiced latte. Well, for us it’s another reason to play new games (like we need one, ya know what I’m sayin’?) and what better way to kick off the spooky festival celebrations than to look at some scary-crap-your-pants horror games?
