ITT: Halloween in video games.Not looking for zombies or spoopy video games. Those are fine and all, but give me actual Halloween inside a video game (even if it's only one level). Halloween themed games are also welcome. I'm going to post a few and I hope you can take it from there.
Since you seem to be talking about shmups a lot recently, here's a good one: Deathsmiles. Interesting thing to mention: Deathsmiles II is all about Christmas. Maybe something for a few months from now?
Obligatory. I've seen a lot of posts about MediEvil recently, probably because Halloween is right around the corner. I think this game looks great but I've never played it.
Here's an old one that probably doesn't hold up very well today: Halloween on the Atari 2600.
This is another old game that I've never played. I have never played any game on the ZX Spectrum, I must admit. Still it's Halloween.

Jack Bros.This is supposed to be a spin off of the Megami Tensei series made by Atlus. I guess this is the first entry to be released outside of Japan? The Virtual Boy came out after the SNES and I think a lot of the sprite work for Virtual Boy games doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Probably because it wasn't very popular and also because the sprites were monochrome.

Bully.Who could forget the fantastic Halloween part? This game is truly great and one of my favorites. Don't forget there is also a Christmas part too.
>>12070894Mega Man 7 has Shade Man, which has a couple Ghouls n' Ghosts references to boot
Jersey Devil.I think this is technically just Halloween themed or inspired, but it absolutely feels like you're running around a neighborhood trick or treating or something. It feels like you're wearing a costume and collecting candy or something.
I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here, but the last games I want to mention are the Halloween movie games. There were many movies made in the early 2000s that had Halloween in them and because every big film had to have a video game tie in, we have these games as well. They're probably not bad games, but there are surely many games that fit this criteria. I will post Monster House and The Nightmare Before Christmas because of nostalgia.
