Halloween has stretched to become a month-long celebration for many people, with many seeking to play new horror games, discover the best horror movies, and eat pumpkin-flavored treats. We already have a list of the best horror games to play in 2024, and it’s loaded with a few-dozen timeless classics, newer hits, and everything in between. But if you’re like me, and your horror backlog is painfully short because you’re all caught up on the genre, don’t worry. October 2024 is going to be a good, busy month for new horror games. We’ve rounded up all the major releases you can expect in the genre this month, which is a scarier sibling gallery to our broader list of October 2024 new video game releases in general.
The horror games you see below are listed in order of release date, so if you’re really diligent, you can keep up day by day, week by week. If you’re in need of even more horror content, don’t miss the best horror games on Game Pass and the best zombie games. On the movie side, we have a list of the best vampire movies, the best movies set on Halloween, and a list of horror movies that, for some reason, went to outer space. If you don’t mind Scream spoilers, we’ve even ranked every Ghostface.
