Recommended Horror games to buy from Steam Halloween Sale

1) Dead Space bundle

Visceral Games struck gold with its 2008 survival body horror game Dead Space. What happened to the studio over the years is quite sad, but publisher EA learned from its mistakes with the release of Dead Space 1's remake this year. Hopefully, fans will finally get a fourth game.

In the meantime, you can pick up the Dead Space package on Steam this Halloween and experience the first three games as engineer Isaac Clarke. The best part about this bundle is that it includes the remake rather than the original 2008 edition.

You can experience Ethan Winter's adventures as he tries to find his family. These two amazing horror games and all their DLCs come in a single package during Steam's sale.

A good horror game doesn't always need to have a wonderful plot. A well-designed setting full of terrifying creatures will suffice. GTFO is a claustrophobic experience in which you and four others must work together to survive the horrors that lurk underneath the facility.

Join forces with your friends to face the game's numerous obstacles. Fans of Left 4 Dead 2 need to check out this title.
