By • 7:30 am, October 30, 2012 • • Halloween, or All Hallows’ Eve, has a tradition stretching back to the 15th century and earlier, though it is currently a more secular holiday, with children and the young at heart dressing up as everything from scary ghouls and monsters to the more tame video game characters or that bane of every feminist out there, the “sexy” nurse/librarian/pikachu/what have you. Regardless of how you celebrate, though, we thought you’d enjoy this list of the scariest Mac games we could think of, each available to play on current (and some older) Macs just in time for the next couple of creepy weeks. Amnesia: Dark Descent $19.95, $19.99 A survival horror game, Amnesia: Dark Descent is one of the scariest games we know, with a version available for Mac via Steam or the Mac Game Store. You play as Daniel, an amnesiac protagonist who wakes up in a spooky castle with limited resources. You must avoid monsters, stay out of shadows, and try not to witness too many disturbing things, lest you lose all your health and sanity.

It’s seriously very scary to play, and the hiding from monsters mechanic makes for a fantastic lights-out good time. Left 4 Dead $19.99 While there has been a sequel to this zombie game from Valve, I’m still of the opinion that the first one is scarier. You play one of four main characters in a zombie movie come to life, shooting, exploding, and burning as many of the undead as you can on your way through the city to get to the safe house and out of danger for good. The tension is thick, the music and stories are fantastic and cinematic, and you’ll find yourself panting and sweaty after each level, especially if you play with friends online. The Walking Dead: The Game $24.99 $24.99 This isn’t just another zombie game. Based on the award-winning and critically acclaimed comic book and television series by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead: The Game is a deeper and more emotional look at how the surviving humans act and live after the apocalypse. You can purchase individual episodes for $5, or all five for $25.

Slender Free, Based on the Slender Man meme/mythology, Slender is a first-person survival horror game in which you must find eight pages in a dark and scary wood, armed only with a flashlight and the capacity to live through the terrifying encounter with the Slender man himself. Staring at him will cause everything to fade to black, so you must run if he appears. Oh, and your flashlight batteries aren’t unlimited. You’ve been warned. The Path $9.99 $9.99 This artsy, psychological horror game was originally developed by Tale of Tales for the PC and brought over to the Mac by TransGaming Technologies. It’s inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, allowing players to take control of one of six different sisters, each sent on an errand to see their sick grandmother, with strict instructions to stay on the path. Players can heed or disregard that advice, at their own peril.
