Steam’s Scream Fest sale is here – I’ve picked the best deals on games to keep you up at night

Let’s get one thing straight: I have to admit that I think I’ve become desensitized to horror entertainment over the years, as there are hardly any movies or even the best horror games that actually tend to get under my skin. However, I’d be lying if I said there weren’t a handful of games, both old and new, that capture horror at their best, and are enough to keep both you and me awake at night.

A number of my top horror games are available in the fourth Steam Scream Fest, giving you discounts and demos to enjoy between October 27th and November 3rd, giving you all the scares you need for the spooky season this Halloween.

Alien: Isolation

I’ve played quite a few horror games, and not many have had me on the edge of my seat like Alien: Isolation hair. It’s a truly anxiety-inducing and terrifying experience to sit through, and it has a similar stalker element that you’d find in a Resident Evil game, which kicks it up a notch.
