I'm not sure how old old is, but SOMA is always such a delight to play through.
Another somewhat older game is Duskers where you control drones one empty human ships, trying to find out where humans went.
-
SOMA might be the only game I've played that I almost regret going through. I can't get it out of my head, and it always creeps me out at least a little when I think about it.
-
Same thing for me with the boiled one but I regret it completely.

MediEvil. It's not a horror game, but I always think of it as the game that carries the Halloween feeling the best.
-
If you like point-and-click adventure games, there are a bunch in spooky territory:
Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle
There are more, but these are the ones I'd start with if you haven't played them.
-
Ooh, I loved Grim Fandango as a kid, but my disk kept breaking around the end of the game. I'll have to go replay it, it has probably been long enough to forget most of the puzzle solutions. I recently replayed Day of the Tentacle and loved it. :)

Depends on what you call old and fitting for Halloween, but I can recommend Alice: Madness Returns .
-
Both Alice games are great. It's too bad the third never got made.
-
-
I feel like Doom or Quake are cop outs here, but they are perennial replays, and they have some great horror aesthetics
-
Hexen for a change?
-
I do love the audio and visuals and vibe and just overall everything of HeXen a lot. It's not as pick-up-and-play-able as the Doom, but it's a great suggestion. Been a while since I did a replay, too...

Costume Quest
-
I was thinking the same thing. I quite enjoyed it!
-
Came here to say this.
I like me some horror games around Halloween, but this is by far my favorite actual Halloween game.
-
-
Of course, The 7th Guest! And The 11th Hour! I'm actually a bit obsessed...
-
7th guest VR is fantasic!

I don't like horror games but Viscera Cleanup Detail I can accapt.
The only horror elements are the aftermath of a big and bloody gun fight and you're tasked to clean up the mess. ;p
-
Still Wakes The Deep was a fun Lovecraftian horror from this year. Unique setting on a North Sea oil rig with an authentic Scottish cast. Also didn't overstay its welcome at roughly 4 hours length; I believe it's on GamePass.
-
I really liked Clive Barker's Undying and replayed it a couple times. Great atmosphere, though I'm not sure how well it would hold up today. Early 3D stuff.
-
Honestly, games like Undying are exactly the games that need a remaster to fulfill the vision that was clearly there in the original. The first 2/3 are still a marvelous horror game, but the end is so unfulfilling.
-
Agree about the last third of the game. Kinda goes off the rails a bit.
-

-
Not sure whether you could consider it a Halloween game or not, but Gears of War. What's more Halloween than an apocalypse?
-
I played a bit of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice last night for Halloween, and it definitely has that spooky Halloween vibe. Definitely check it out if you get a chance.
I'm not going to say it's my favorite Halloween game (that goes to either Grim Fandango or Costume Quest), but it has been a worthwhile experience so far.
-
It's not old, but I saw someone post their playthrough of Pumpkin Jack, which you play as a jack-o-lantern in a spooky-themed game.
I haven't played it myself, but I'm a fan of fun platformers so I may check it out.
-
I played about an hour of it, and it's okay. Expect a little less platformer and more action.

I don't know about Halloween as such, but ghost-themed, I guess Ghost Master. Twenty years old now, but try to make use of various ghosts with different abilities to drive people out of various buildings and houses.
