There's only one thing better than playing through a good, scary game, and that's playing a good, scary game on Halloween. While it's a decades-old tradition to sit and watch a marathon of horror movie classics on October 31, nothing quite gets under your skin as a truly terrifying horror video game. Because you're in direct control of the main character (or characters), the level of immersion can potentially be far higher than when watching even the best film. Considering the high quality of many horror releases in the last couple of decades, there's already a huge catalogue of brilliant games for terror aficionados to explore. Often, video games designed to scare you will come in the form of survival horrors. These games commonly feature the player being stalked by terrifying foes, with only limited supplies with which to survive and defend themselves with. In some particularly horrifying examples, survival horrors may not even give the players a means to fight back. In anticipation of Halloween at the end of this month, we've put together a list of the 10 most horrifying games available to play now. From old-fashioned survival horror epics to newcomers that were born to be cult classics, each of these titles are guaranteed to scare you silly.
