This Halloween looks a little different compared to previous years. More people are staying home versus trick-or-treating as COVID-19 continues to challenge communities in the U.S. In fact, only one-third plan to go trick-or-treating as they normally would, according to a survey from ApartmentGuide.com. But that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate or have a spooky and scary Halloween holiday.
One of the best ways to enjoy Halloween from the comfort of your home? Video games. And you can access some truly terrifying and hair-raising games without having to spend any money at all.
Today, Addicting Games, the largest online games site in the US, has released a roundup of its top 5 scariest games, according to traffic. Each game is 100% FREE to play.
If you’re stuck at home on October 31st, turn off the lights and turn up the volume for these bone-chilling games, where you can take on zombies, ghosts, monsters, aliens, and haunted houses. Check these games out today!

After being poisoned by a mad scientist and locked in a dark prison, players will have 10 minutes to figure out how to escape. Fail to figure the puzzle out within that time limit and the game ends, meaning players will have to be quick-witted and think on their feet if they hope to survive.
