13 More Horror Themed Video Games To Play On Halloween

1. Castelvania

Castle

First released in September, 1986 Castlevania is the oldest entry on our list. Exploring haunted castles in a search for Count Dracula is perhaps the most perfect of plots to enjoy on Halloween. You won't just come across the king of the vampires, however. Almost every iconic movie monster is featured as a villain in this series including Medusa!

Combining eerie atmospheres with music of the same degree, Castlevania featured among many lists of the best games on the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo. It may seem a bit outdated to gamers of today's age but the gameplay is still solid and incredibly fun. If you're old enough you'll experience nostalgia on top of the thrills and chills Castlevania delivers. Stick with any of the games from the third and fourth console generations for a hell of a good time but don't be afraid to check out Castlevania 64 or Symphony of the Night for the Nintendo 64 and Playstation, respectively.

Any of these thirteen games is perfect for the season of fear and you'll have a great time no matter which you choose to play. For those of you that are quite familiar with the entries - have any of the games ever caused you any sleepless nights? Hit the comment section and let us know.
