I'm not sure about exclusively but I usually go for some dark RPGs like Shadow Hearts, Folklore, some of the MegaTen games. I'm thinking of mixing it up this year with some Ao Oni and Yume Nikki though.

I love Horror games that focus mainly on atmosphere like Silent Hill and Fatal Frame but I play those year-round so I tend to try and find something new each year.

Resident Evil (Sega Saturn)
Dracula The Undead (Atari Lynx)
Silent Hill (Playstation)
Escape from Monster Manor (3DO)
Alien VS Predator (Atari Jaguar)

As a side note though, the new Haunted House is well worth checking out and a good time with the lights down and I have to also have an honorable mention for Grabbed by the Ghoulies on the original XBOX.

Except for Demon's Souls which was because of a pure black server, I don't play games just because a specific holiday. If playing on a certain date gives me a bonus, such as Gurumin giving you the Christmas outfit, I just change the date and reload the game.

Super Castlevania IV
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Zombies Ate My Neighbors!

My brother makes it tradition to play a different Castlevania game every year around Halloween. I love the two games I mentioned to death. Also, Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a Halloween staple.

Some spooky games that I find set the vibe of the Halloween season include the likes of Demon's Crest, the Ghosts 'N Goblins series and, lastly, Ghost Manor on TG16. I fired up Demon's Crest again a few nights ago and it's as atmospheric as ever.

Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti- nothing else seems very Halloween-ish to me, possibly Zombies ate my Neighbors, maybe.

I don't have a top five, but by coincidence I recently picked up Decap Attack and Addam's Family Values and those are definitely in season.

I always play Zombie Revenge on the DC for Halloween, that's my little ritual. Might play a little Castlevania Chronicles or a Wii light gun shooter this year, depends if I have any time.

That reminds me, I need to boot up Saw II on Halloween for an achievement.

Having a costume party on Saturday evening, we will likely be doing the "standard" party fare games, nothing Halloween-centric, but always fun stuff for parties:

Rock Band 3
Singstar
You Don't Know Jack
Buzz Quizz World
Fighting Games
Move and/or Wii motion controller multi-player games

I'm shocked no one mentioned any of the House of the Dead games. I had a couple of Halloween parties where I had HOTD2 set up with 2 light guns. Seemed very appropriate. That being said:

House of the Dead 2
House of the Dead 3
House of the Dead: Overkill
Castlevania: Bloodlines
Vampire Night

Pretty much any of the Silent Hill games.

I don't know if I have a top 5, but Castlevania would certainly be in it.

The other game would be something in the Heroes of Might & Magic series after the first game. Fire up an army of the undead and then take over all the world. Same might hold for Warcraft III.

I watched that a few days ago. It was great. I thought you guys were going to suffocate in those masks LOL

It was close. Not a lot of oxygen can get through the air holes in the mask.

I'm happy you liked the video. We have a blast making them.
