Your parents and uncle try on creepy masks only to become possessed by them. Defeat the boogeyman before it's too late!
This game is reminiscent of R.L. Stine's The Haunted Mask, which I was always a big fan of. The graphics were amazing, the puzzles were challenging and the HO games were a lot of fun. I loved that so much of this game was interactive (like clicking on a balloon that floats away) and that the HO games were very layered in a way that I've never seen before. It took me all Halloween day to finish this, so it's nice and long. Enjoy this on Halloween or year around!
In this time-management game, you save the kingdom from the grasp of an evil spell!
I disagree with the reviews claiming this isn't Halloween-themed and I'm assuming they never played long enough to get past the first section. As a couple of other reviewers noted, there are cemeteries, ghosts, werewolves and jack-o-lanterns. You have to get to at least the second section to see them, though.
I enjoyed this game and it's one of the few TM games I stayed with until the end. The timer was irrelevant because it really doesn't matter how many stars you get, unless you're a stickler for achievements. It was challenging with the gremlins but completing the game is still very doable. Just be aware that you'll have to start a few levels over until you pick up items in the correct sequence.
I recommend this game!

Tales of Terror: House on the Hill
Find your sister and escape from a terrifying haunted house!
You go on a ghost tour in an old house with your sister only to find out the house won't let you go!
This game is several years old, but I still enjoyed it. They used realistic people for the characters, so the acting will come off a bit corny. There were lots of rooms to explore and lots of fun HO and other puzzles to be played. I agree with the other reviewers about the ending though, where it seems they forgot about a few people that were stuck in that house.
You have to revisit a creepy neighbor's house from your childhood in the eighties and by doing so save your sister!
As I said in the title, I loved the gameplay, but not a big fan of the story. The graphics were amazing, the creep factor was definitely there, and the puzzles and HO scenes were lots of fun. I didn't love that a man who blatantly cheated on his wife was the victim of the story, though. That being said, I would have played it anyway because the gameplay was excellent and it was nice and long.
This was a fun little match-3 game! You have around a hundred levels of challenging boards filled with chains, ice, boxes and metal. As you progress, you decorate a haunted house with very cute items, with a selection of 3 each to choose from. You can play untimed and there are great helpers you earn along the way, like lightning and tornadoes.
Unfortunately, I just couldn't quite give it 5 stars. As another reviewer stated, there's a glitch with the tiles where it will say there's one left and there isn't, so you have to start all over. For me it was only the metal tiles, so my advice would be to complete the metal tiles before any of the others. There was also a minor glitch where the items in the haunted house would stack on top of one another, but you could set it right if you left and came back in again.
Regardless of the minor glitches, this game is totally worth playing and full of Halloween fun!
Save your sister from the bloody countess of Bathory and maybe help another surprising character along the way!
This game isn't for everybody, but I enjoyed it. It takes a while to really get into it, but I played it to the end and I'm glad I did. This is a retro-style game, so don't expect any bling. There is no map and no customized settings, but hints and skips are readily available. I love that the hints tell you exactly what to do and where to go, whereas hints on so many other games are completely useless. As another reviewer stated, it's really unique to have to earn coins and actually buy the items you need. Also, I love potion making!
In this game, you match up cards anywhere on the board and work to uncover the gold cards and move onto the next board.
I enjoyed the Halloween backgrounds and several types of spooky cards. It was a challenge to me because getting enough gold cards in order to move to the next board is harder than you think. You can easily collect coins along the way to buy helpers, though. I was able to uncover 4 boards before I couldn't get any further, but I still enjoyed the game.
I recommend this game!

Amelie's Cafe: Halloween
Help Amelie cater to guests dressed up as ghosts, goblins and vampires! Keep her cooks busy and more in this Time Management game!
I really wanted to like this game, but after about 9 levels I just couldn't get beyond that.
The Halloween theme is really adorable. There's costumes and thematic food and you can upgrade the cafe for the holidays. If you're lightning quick, you might just make it through. Unfortunately, it just left me feeling frustrated.

Sable Maze: Twelve Fears
Your daughter's lost in the Maze of Fears, but you'll face more than her disappearance if you dare to enter.
Your daughter goes into a fun maze at a fair that turns out to be so much more. 12 different rooms full of very scary fears! Save her (and possibly someone else) before it's too late!
I've had this game for several years and finally got around to playing it and boy am I impressed! I could see a lot of hard work went into this game, even the menu had really cool graphics. I was able to do most of the puzzles on my own and only had to skip a few. If you don't like the HO puzzles, you have the option of playing match-3 instead. I adore games that take you into different dimensions, so this one was a real treat for me.
In the 3rd and final installment of Exorcist, you visit your old friend only to find out a demon has kidnapped your godson!
For a game that's nearly a decade old, it wasn't half bad! There is no map, so you'll be traveling quite a bit. It's also helpful to read the journal provided so you can figure out how to assemble certain items. I enjoy older HO games, so this was a treat for me and a nice way to wrap up the series.
