Killer Frequency is a unique horror-puzzle game. It is based on the 1980s slasher-film aesthetic. You start playing as a late-night radio host in a small town, and must guide callers to safety from a killer. You will be required to use clues and information found around the radiation station.

9. Crow Country

If you grew up playing games on the PS1, then you might be familiar with this puzzle-box design classic. Crow Country is a horror game that made it to the Plus catalog in September, and it is very similar to the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series. The only difference is that here you will solve puzzles without any combat. 

8. V Rising

V Rising launched on the PlayStation Plus catalog on October 21, 2025, and it’s an incredibly fun action RPG. Here, you awaken as a weakened vampire and must hunt for blood. You have to rebuild your castle and battle supernatural beasts. PVP is also available, but you can go completely PVE without facing other players online. Give this a shot; it will be well worth your time.

7. Outlast 2

Outlast 2 is one of the scariest and jump-scare-filled horror-type experiences. Over here, you are a reporter, armed only with a video camera, and must navigate a rural Arizona village inhabited by a deranged cult. There is no combat, and the only option is to run, hide, and manage your camera’s battery; otherwise, it’s game over.

6. Days Gone

Days Gone is one of the most well-optimized titles on all platforms, and story-wise, it’s phenomenal. You start as a drifter, Deacon St. John, and you must navigate the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest on your motorcycle. It stands as one of the best open-world games of all time for its sheer size and unique survival mechanics. You have to scavenge for resources and uncover the cause of the pandemic.

5. Siren

Siren is not just any horror game; instead, it’s the most disturbing game to play on Halloween. The game takes place at Haunda village, which is cursed with Shibito enemies. For example, here you have to escape enemies not by watching them; instead, this unique Sightjacking mechanic allows you to see yourself from the enemies’ eyes and then avoid them. Difficulty-wise, it’s best suited for hardcore horror fans who sign up for the most disturbing games during Halloween.

4. Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight is considered the king of asymmetrical multiplayer horror titles. What makes this game interesting is that you can play it together with your friends, and you have to survive one single powerful killer who is hunting you and your team. In terms of survival, you have to repair generators, open exit gates, and tactfully avoid the killer. If you like teamwork-based horror games, this one is for you.

3. Until Dawn

Until Dawn is a classic remake built on Unreal Engine 5; the remake amplifies the cinematic horror experience, and the overall experience is absolutely stunning. Every choice you make in this game matters and impacts who lives and who dies.

Thanks to the Butterfly effect system, there will be suspense in every decision you take in this game, and if you want to keep a particular NPC alive, your choices have to be made with all the consequences considered. The lighting and the newly amped-up details make the gameplay even spookier than before.

2. Alan Wake 2

Alan Wake 2 is one of the most disturbing and unsettling games to play on Halloween. For starters, there are the sounds of a chainsaw, possibly cutting down someone, followed by screaming, and the entire atmosphere is creepy from the very beginning.

You start the game as two protagonists: FBI agent Saga Anderson, investigating ritualistic murders in the Pacific Northwest, and Alan Wake, a novelist trapped in a nightmare dimension called “The Dark Place”. As you play through, you will uncover more of this game’s twisted plot and why things are like this. If you have played Control, which is a different journey game, both stories are somehow connected.

1. Silent Hill 2

Silent Hill 2 is also a classic horror game, and arguably the best among all of the titles. You play as James Sunderland, exploring the fog-covered town of Silent Hill, battling grotesque monsters, and uncovering an emotional story of guilt and loss. The game is available through the PlayStation Plus Extra Game Catalog, and if you like horror games that look stunning, give this a go.
