16 Horror Video Games You Must Play Before Halloween

15. Slender: The Arrival

Some think he's a total joke, others that he's more terrifying that finding out how much tax you're owing that month. Regardless, ol' Paleface became something of a horror icon overnight, thanks to a very creepy backstory involving the stalking and kidnapping of children that spread like wildfire when he was first unveiled. Instigating the first-person horror revolution, the Slender games have a simplistic approach that preys on the unrelenting fear of being trapped in an unknown environment. Trying to navigate the dank murky forest knowing Slender is only a few steps behind easily makes him one of the best pop-culture Halloween characters of all time, so expect to see a great many costumes throughout the end of this month too.
