WE REVISIT SOME OF THE MOST SPOOKTACULAR TITLES TO HIT CONSOLES AS HALLOWEEN DRAWS EVER CLOSER

FEAR WE GO AGAIN

It's 15 years old now but The Dark Descent remains a rich and terrifying experience, and probably my favourite of all the Amnesia games.

Once again you are the prey, being hunted in the crumbling and maze-like corridors of a ruinous building where the darkness will literally consume you.

To ramp up the stakes, you are completely unarmed with your ability to survive coming down to how fast you can run - and how well you can hide.

If madness hasn’t devoured you by the time you reach the game's end, there are several fan-made mods you can play to expand the horror.

Phasmophobia

(PEGI 16) PS5, Xbox X/S, PC

This ghost-hunting simulator has been in early access on PC for more than five years now, with a full release scheduled for next year.

And that’s because developer Kinetic Games is working to perfect and distil moments of pure terror.

You join with up to three other players to collect evidence of hauntings, armed with a host of paranormal paraphernalia.

There’s a spirit box, night vision goggles, a crackling walkie-talkie and the all important crucifix, for when the going gets really tough.
