Apart from costumes, big bowls of sweets, and impending terror i am famous If there’s one thing you can count on for Halloween, it’s lots of scary video games. Spooky season has a nasty habit of finding us (this writer included) looking for people who aren’t good at what they bump into at night and sticking the following list in their newsfeed. “Top 10 Games That Ruin Your Sleep Schedule‘ Also ‘Video game moments that make you think twice before you turn off the lights‘. Yes we read them.
For some people, horror simply doesn’t click—books, movies, or importantly games. However, many of us still prefer to attend festivals, albeit in ways that are much more cosy and don’t give us a week of sleepless nights.
That’s why I’ve created the following list. It’s made up of games that aren’t spooky, but we’ve picked a few appropriately spooky levels so that you can feel like you’re part of the same celebration without being terrified and breaking into a cold sweat. Importantly, each of the following picks is from a Nintendo game that isn’t horror-themed.
Instead, these are much lighter games, with certain zones or levels strangely sprinkled with Halloween flavor. We have the real thing to take turns), but decided to limit the entries to 13. scary numbers.
Even if Halloween scares are a little too much, there’s no reason we can’t all play a game of celebration!
The spookiest level in a non-spooky game
Big Boo hangout, Super Mario 64
It’s one thing that Mario games have weird boo-bass levels — a fact we’ve all come to grudgingly come to terms with — but they’re big, empty-handed from the soothing strings of Super Mario 64’s castle grounds. It’s one thing to move to a metallic wind theme… Booz Haunt? Now it just asks us to shudder.
Look, many of these spooky levels are highlighted in our minds through a certain level of nostalgia, but the ghost of Big Boo is still really spooky today. Maybe it’s because of the walls and pointed profiles, but environments like that are like nightmare fuel that Slenderman dreamed of achieving. .
spooky castle donkey kong 64
You know you have an appropriately spooky level when the game designers put it in the title. Creepy Castle is just that. The Donkey Kong 64 Stage has everything you need for a low-risk spook. There’s an opening cutscene featuring his one of the slowest “jump scares” ever committed to the screen, Grant Kirkhope’s eerie organ music, a full moon, rain, and a giant rolling gorilla.
Sure, this might be one of the more linear levels in Donkey Kong 64, but we’re not here to linger on spookiness. is conservative, but linearity works well. Thank you very much.
Ghost Ship, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
For games that are generally light and joyful, Wind Waker’s Ghost Ship has always been a sideways look at our youth. How to go straight from a cheerful sea theme to a room full of scary monsters? No, I’m fine, thank you.
Seriously, Ghost Ship wastes no time facing Wizzrobe’s haunting symptoms. Afterwards, what do you clean up your room for? Shards of the Triforce, yes, but what’s most notable in our minds is the laughter before we wake up at King of Red Lions. You’re not signing up for a fun little boat game!
Haunted Mansion, Kirby Triple Deluxe
See, nothing from Luigi’s mansion couldn’t be included on this list. Because these games wear spookiness. Kirby: Triple Deluxe’s Haunted Mansion is filled with levels full of catching and siphoning ghosts, but only catching isn’t vacuum-based.
The Kirby franchise has many spooky themed levels. Triple Deluxe’s Haunted Mansion may be more or less spooky compared to other offerings in the franchise, but Nintendo’s least threatening character Law never fails at his stakes on his platform.
Please don’t tell Kirby what we said.
Horrorland, Mario Party 2
As if the idea of putting your relationship on the line for just a few stars wasn’t scary enough, Mario Party 2’s Horrorland raises the stakes with several seasonal ghosts to boot.
What better Halloween than replacing the jumps and screams of a real horror game with a little Mario party in front of a big bowl of goodies? we Must In the real world as well), there’s enough Halloween iconography to make you feel like you’re in the festivities without actually doing anything scary.

Rarely is a name so iconic that just hearing it brings back haunting memories of a soundtrack years after it was played. what a creepy trackFrom these cursed needles to the concept with Pokemon Tower true death, Lavender Town is one of the creepiest places in all of gaming. period.
If it weren’t for the rest of the fun of Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow (and Green), you’d see this one launching quickly off this list, along with all the other horror titles.
Mad Monster Mansion by Banjo-Kazooie
When you think of Banjo-Kazooie horror, there are a lot of things that immediately come to mind, but what is the creepiest of them all? camera control Mad Monster Mansion! [*raises eyebrow* – Ed]
This level has everything you need for a Halloween bash, including tombstones, mummies, and pooing eggs in flowerpots. Throw in Maestro Kirkhope’s musical kind of spooky organ and you have a recipe for spooky success.
All of this, of course, is met by squeaks of Kazooie and bizarre interludes of banjo music, so it’s pretty forgiving in terms of horror. Fulfills — cartoon witches have never looked so creepy.
