Last updated: November 1, 2024

Picture this: It's late at night. The lights are out, and the flickering light of the TV screen is the only thing casting looming shadows in your living room. Just when you least expect it -- click! -- the lights come on, and you're scared out of your wits because you were so caught up in what was happening on-screen! OK, so that might not be completely nerve-wracking, but games don't have to terrify you to raise the hair on your arms or give you goosebumps. Below, we've gathered a list of scary (but not too scary!) games that will add just the right amount of spooky flair to your play sessions.
