10 Best Games Based on Halloween Movies 2026

I must admit, I’m a little disappointed that the games based on Halloween movies are slowly dwindling out as the years go by. Back then, we’d get so many adaptations than you could play them all. Granted, some adaptations were also haphazardly put together, used as cash grab ruses. And yet, there are some notable horror games that have come from Halloween movie franchises that truly instill the fear of God in you.

A few of the games based on Halloween movies are unplayable now, having launched in the ‘90s and early 2000s. Others are more recent takes, perfect for the upcoming spooky season. Whether you’re an old soul curious about the history of movies-to-gaming or want to jump right into the most frightening horror movies of today, we’ve compiled the best games based on Halloween movies for you below. 

10. Blair Witch (2019)

Halloween Movie: The Blair Witch Project (1999)

It’s two years later, after the events of The Blair Witch Project, still in the same cursed wooded universe. In Blair Witch, you’re a former police officer searching for a missing boy in the Black Hills Forest. But what was initially a straightforward investigation turns into an endless nightmare when the fears and dreads of the forest loom in on your own past. And worse, when you encounter the Blair Witch herself, a mysterious, haunting force rummaging deep inside the woods.

9. Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler’s Green (2005)

Halloween Movie: Land of the Dead (2005)

Granted, Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler’s Green wasn’t a Halloween game adaptation that turned out too great. But you must admit, it helped set the stage for the zombie craze we now enjoy today in franchises like Call of Duty: Black Ops and The Walking Dead. You’re doing all you can to enjoy safe haven at Fiddler’s Green’s refuge, while having to endure one of the worst zombie horde playthroughs in gaming.

8. Jaws Unleashed (2006)

Halloween Movie: Jaws (1975)

Hear me out. When do you ever get to play as a giant, white shark, prancing around the undearsea, gulping down anything that moves? Even without an actual story that makes sense, Jaws Unleashed ends up being a blast. And you can upgrade your stats, too, from hunger to speed. But don’t expect anything in the story as iconic as the 1975 Jaws film. 

7. Alien: Isolation (2014)

Halloween Movie: Alien (1979)

Something about being hunted in space makes me chill to the bone. With nowhere to go except in circles, trapped in your space station, you have to use every resource and scarce supplies to survive. And when the haunting Xenomorph tracking any sight or sound you make never lets up, you remain in constant fear of getting caught. Alongside a pretty impressive adaptation of the Alien universe, Alien: Isolation ranks highly on the list of the best games based on Halloween movies.

6. Chucky: Slash & Dash (2013)

Halloween Movie: Child’s Play, Curse of Chucky (2013)

Chucky: Slash & Dash keeps it simple, creating an endless runner running away from the killer doll. Within the Good Guy factory, the layout is varied enough to keep you engaged. Whether it’s dodging conveyor belts or slashing enemies, you’ll have a good time, albeit exclusively on iOS platforms.

5. Dead by Daylight – A Nightmare on Elm Street (2017)

Halloween Movie: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

There have been several A Nightmare on Elm Street adaptations, most recently in Chapter 6 DLC of Dead by Daylight. The four survivors are trying to get away from Freddy Krueger, with his powers drawing from the dream-demon abilities from the film. Though do check out the many Halloween movies Dead by Daylight has featured, including Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Michael Myers from Halloween (1978), and more.

4. Friday the 13th: The Game (2017)

Halloween Movie: Friday the 13th (1980)

Friday the 13th: The Game was doing pretty well until legal rights issues brutally cut off its wings. Now delisted, it still remains one of the best multiplayer survival horror games for Halloween. Play as Jason Voorhees, for the first time, or as one of the other seven survivors, running and surviving around the woods of Camp Crystal Lake. Thanks to a variety of resources, over 100 levels, and gory kills, this game offers unlimited replayability with friends.

3. Predator: Concrete Jungle (2005)

Halloween Movie: Predator and Alien (‘90s)

Alongside Alien’s xenomorph creatures, you star as a Predator called Scarface, heading to the futuristic city of Neonopolis to settle a blood feud. It’s the thrill of the hunt that keeps you glued to the screen in Predator: Concrete Jungle, controlling the powerful, vicious, skilled hunter who travels across space and time, preying on humans and xenomorphs alike. 

2. Evil Dead: The Game (2022)

Halloween Movie: Evil Dead (1981)

Whoever your favorite character is in Evil Dead, or Ash vs Evil Dead, you should find them in Evil Dead: The Game, along with some of the original characters. The film’s universe, gore, and humor are all here, complete with a thrilling co-op and PvP gaming experience. You’re not only fending off zombie hordes back to Hell, but also pushing back on the opposing team of demons. Will you fight on the good or bad side in the fight against the armies of darkness?

1. Saw: The Video Game (2009)

Halloween Movie: Saw (2004)

Closing off our list of the best games based on Halloween movies is Saw: The Video Game. Possibly the best way to make you panic more is to give you deadly puzzles and traps to avoid. Just like the movie, Jigsaw’s traps and puzzles are as deadly. But you’re the clever Detective Tapp, and can find useful items and weapons to find your way around the asylum you’re trapped in.

Even better, you might avoid getting your hands dirty by using Jigsaw’s own puzzles against him. Overall, it’s a pretty good Halloween game adaptation that will get you thinking and planning carefully before making the next step.
