10 Best Games Based on Halloween Movies (2026)
Add Gaming.net to your preferred sources on Google
A horror-film marathon is a Halloween tradition, but games let you step into the same kinds of danger. You might hide from an alien, escape a slasher’s family or become the monster yourself. The best adaptations also find a game structure that suits their source material, whether that means stealth, squad management or an arcade adventure.
Here, “Halloween movies” means films suited to the spooky season, including the Halloween franchise itself. This updated list focuses on games currently offered through their official PC store pages, with recent releases alongside established favourites. Some adapt a specific film; others continue its story or include licensed characters as paid add-ons. Those distinctions matter when choosing what to buy, so we flag them below.
For horror beyond film adaptations, explore our best survival horror games for Halloween and our Halloween atmosphere picks.
10. The Mummy Demastered
The Mummy Demastered takes the 2017 film’s premise into a pixel-art action adventure. As a Prodigium agent, you explore connected environments, uncover equipment and confront monsters associated with Ahmanet’s supernatural threat. Its side-scrolling structure offers a different kind of movie adaptation from the first-person and multiplayer games elsewhere on this list.
Choose it for Halloween if you want creatures and occult imagery in an arcade-style adventure. Exploring for upgrades gives the campaign its forward momentum, while the film licence provides the monster theme. It is a useful option for players who prefer navigating a dangerous map to hiding in a realistic haunted location.

9. Predator: Hunting Grounds
Predator: Hunting Grounds turns the film series’ hunter-and-prey dynamic into an asymmetrical multiplayer game. A human fireteam enters the jungle to complete objectives, while a Predator stalks them with its own equipment and abilities. The setting supports the fantasy of being watched by something that can approach from outside the team’s immediate view.
Choose it for a Halloween group that wants gunplay alongside the monster threat. The linked official trailer covers the later PS5 and Xbox Series X|S release, while the source link points to the current PC store version. It is a franchise-based multiplayer adaptation, so expect shared matches rather than a retelling of one film.

8. Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game adapts the 1988 film into an asymmetrical online contest between three Klowns and seven humans. The Klowns’ strange weapons and the humans’ attempts to escape give its matches a comic-horror identity. It is a fitting choice if your Halloween viewing tends towards outrageous creature designs and elaborate practical-effects monsters.
The attraction is the film’s unusual tone translated into a group game. Pick it when you want a colourful alternative to grim slashers, with cooperation and unpredictable encounters driving the session. The attached launch trailer comes from PlayStation’s official channel and shows the released game rather than its earlier reveal.

7. RetroRealms: Halloween
RetroRealms: Halloween turns Michael Myers into the playable lead of a side-scrolling arcade game. Its pixel-art environments and supernatural Overworld reinterpret the film’s slasher imagery through a different set of rules: you move through levels, fight enemies and discover paths rather than simply recreate a movie scene.
On Steam, this is paid content that requires the RetroRealms Arcade base application, so check the product combination before buying. Choose it for a Halloween session with a familiar film villain and an old-school arcade feel. It is distinct from Halloween: The Game, the newer three-dimensional adaptation that appears later in this list.

6. Blair Witch
Blair Witch places Ellis, a former police officer, in the Black Hills Forest during a search for a missing boy. His dog Bullet accompanies him, while the forest and its strange events push the investigation towards psychological horror. The game builds on the film universe through its own story rather than asking you to repeat the original movie’s route.
Choose it for Halloween if getting lost in the woods is more appealing than fighting a monster arena. First-person exploration gives small changes in the environment room to become unsettling. The official launch trailer introduces the released game’s atmosphere without replacing it with footage from the films.

5. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre adapts the 1974 film’s threat into asymmetrical multiplayer. Victims try to escape, while members of the family coordinate to keep them trapped. Stealth, sound and the layout of the environment matter because the people hunting you are controlled by other players, who can respond to your habits and mistakes.
It suits a Halloween group that wants a sustained chase and recognisable slasher-film surroundings. You can approach the conflict from either side, which changes the meaning of a locked route or a suspicious noise. Choose it for online matches built around pursuit; it is not a solo campaign retelling of the film.

4. Dead by Daylight
Dead by Daylight brings horror-film characters into a larger asymmetrical game of one Killer against four Survivors. Its Halloween chapter adds Michael Myers, Laurie Strode and the franchise’s Haddonfield setting. That makes it particularly relevant to this list, while other licensed chapters expand the range of film threats available.
The base game does not include every licensed character: check the chapter or character purchase you need before choosing a movie-specific session. The attached trailer is the official Halloween chapter spotlight, selected to match this recommendation rather than advertise an unrelated crossover. Choose it when you want your Halloween game to support repeated, competitive group play.

3. The Thing: Remastered
The Thing: Remastered restores the 2002 game that continues the story after John Carpenter’s film. Captain Blake leads a rescue team into an Antarctic setting where an alien can imitate other life. Squad members have fear and trust to manage, so keeping a team functioning becomes part of survival alongside the weapons and hostile creatures.
The 2024 remaster offers a current route into that movie-connected campaign. Choose it for Halloween if you like horror that makes cooperation within a squad feel uncertain, even in a single-player game. Its connection to the film is a sequel story rather than a straightforward adaptation of the events you already know.

2. Halloween: The Game
Halloween: The Game is the fresh 2026 entry for players who want Michael Myers at the centre of the evening. Set around Haddonfield in 1978, it offers a solo campaign as Michael and an online mode that puts him against four Heroes. The human side must respond to danger, protect townspeople and help bring the police into the situation.
Released in September 2026, it is now a playable recommendation rather than an upcoming announcement. Choose it for a direct connection to the Halloween film’s setting and antagonist, with both solo and multiplayer options. The official launch trailer reflects that release and replaces the need to rely on early teaser footage.

1. Alien: Isolation
Alien: Isolation follows Amanda Ripley to Sevastopol station, fifteen years after the events of Alien. Its connection to the film comes through its story, industrial design and the threat of a creature you cannot comfortably treat as a regular combat encounter. Exploring, scavenging and crafting support your efforts to survive the station.
Choose it for Halloween if you want a solo campaign that captures the pressure of being hunted. The linked official trailer showcases the Nintendo Switch edition and its included DLC; check your own edition’s contents because packages differ by platform. The central recommendation remains the base game’s sustained mixture of exploration, stealth and fear.
