Our Ten Best Halloween Games

Halloween greetings to all of the ghosts, ghouls, undead, and other post-living fans of Addicting Games. Welcome to our first annual Halloween round-up of the scariest Halloween games that we have published within the last calendar year. For most people, Halloween is the season of spooks, a month of monsters, or a chaotic night of candy and costumes. For us, it is just another excuse to zone out and jump into some killer games. Since Halloween itself comes in all shapes and sizes, our Halloween games are themselves all a little bit different from each other. Some are mobile, some are desktop, some are shooters, some are clickers, we got some IOGames in there, a few puzzler-games and some classic platformer games. It really is an all-around grab bag of tricks and treats for your little monsters and we're happy to provide a spark of Halloween magic in your lives. Of course, as always, you can enjoy our Halloween-themed games any night of the year but we like to believe there is something about this time of year that makes playing them a little extra special.
