Horror is my everything. You’ll rarely catch me at a time in my life when I’m not reading, watching, or playing something in the genre. If you can relate, then you surely also love the Halloween season, because it’s a time when so many others try to match your vibe, if only for a few weeks. Even for folks too scared to play horror games themselves, many like to watch others play them on Twitch. During the Halloween season, Twitch itself gets in on the action with its annual Fright Fest, which is back for 2025. You can read about everything going on in Twitch Fright Fest 2025 on the official website.
With all that in mind, we’ve put together a list of the six best horror games to watch or stream on Twitch. Whether you are hosting the playthrough for your viewers or letting someone else do the dirty work of facing down the terrors that pursue them, below you’ll find a half-dozen scary games that fit snugly in the Twitch world, for both creators and their audiences.
For even more horror content, don’t miss our lists of the best multiplayer horror games, the best gateway horror games (for genre newcomers), and, of course, the best horror games in general.
