As I get older, I find I have no interest in playing the cutesy/silly games that are everywhere on retro consoles (obviously, they were targeted towards kids). But I also don’t have the patience for survival horror games like the resident evil or silent hill series. I’m just looking for a fun spooky game that I can jump into and start playing.

So what are your favorite action-oriented games featuring skeletons and bats and horror movie monsters that aren’t actually trying to scare you? Any platform, any year. I’m looking for games whose entire theme is spooky, not just a single haunted house or graveyard level.

    the difficult game of Fester’s Quest on NES

    Fun fact, the European release is vastly easier due to the simple fact that you can shoot through walls!

    All enemies and bosses take less hits for them to be killed. The projectiles fired from the gun can go through walls and obstacles.

    It still makes me angry for what we got in the US! 😤😅
