Halloween Gaming

I'm deciding what games to add to the Halloween Special for this year.
http://videogamecritic.com/extras/themes/halloween.htmI noticed I added Until Dawn (PS4) last year, which is awesome. I want to play that again.
Looks like I need to add Bloodborne to the PS4 section.
Two other games I reviewed over the past 12 months may be a tough call:
Muppet Monster Adventure (PS1)
Monster in my Pocket (NES)
Do you think either of these would qualify?
Also, let's hear any recommendations or games you're planning to play this Halloween season.

I very much want to get Costume Quest on the 360. Download only. I've been holding out hoping XBox Live will give it as a free download next month. Halloween is THE centerpiece, We shall see.

I know I've mentioned it before, but Obscure would be a great Halloween horror game. I have it for the PS2 but may be on other systems.

Condemned
Condemned 2
You've already reviewed them, but I didn't seem them in the article. You might want to add them in there. They're pretty scary.

You should check out Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie Boogie's Revenge. Not a great game, but it'd go great with your other Halloween reviews.

Luigi & Peach: Is this Obscure game different from the one I reviewed for the Wii?
JustLikeHeaven: Concur about the Condemned games. I will add them.
Matmico: I'm intrigued about Costume Quest, but not enough to buy a digital copy.
DaHeckIzDat: You raise a good point. Should I tack on a portable game section to my Halloween special??
I'm also revisiting the Clay Fighter games. While not strictly Halloween, they do have a creepy quality.

I'm currently playing psychonauts and it is surprisingly fits well into the Halloween theme. The stages don't reference the holiday but the character designs and stuff feel life they're pulled straight from nightmare before Christmas. It'd be a unique entry on your list.

Not sure if you're asking for actual suggestions on what to play, but I think you should give Killer7 (Gamecube and PS2) a shot. While it's not technically a horror game, it is VERY bizarre and creepy.
Also, if you've got an extra $180 lying around, you could get a copy of Rule of Rose for the PS2:

Your review was for Obscure: the Aftermath which was the sequel. Not a bad game but the original plays better and it's more fun in my opinion.

It's truly one of the only games that actually takes place on Halloween! You must have it in your Halloween special.
Terrific stuff
(you'll rate a C) But it's still a B game when you play it on Halloween
