Halloween is right around the corner, and just like last year when we put together a list of great horror games for Windows, this year we’re doing the same thing for Android. Here goes a list of 10 games to entertain and terrify you in equal measure from your smartphone.

Dungeon Nightmares

Every night when you nod off, your dreams transport you to a horrible dungeon where, if you die, you also die in real life. Dungeon Nightmares in an exploration game where you have to find objects to survive every night while you go through randomly generated settings. (Indeed, this is its greatest appeal, as you’ll never know what’s around the next corner.) If you find the touchscreen controls too complicated, there’s also a version for Windows, which in fact is the original. [Download]

Zombie Invasion: T-Virus

Don’t let the image below mislead you. This is not the 10 millionth first-person action game, but in fact a slow-paced graphic adventure where you must survive a zombie pandemic while shut up in a building. The problem is that some of the people you live with may end up infected, which means you’re going to need to make some big decisions when it comes to interacting with other objects and people, and if a pair of point-blank fires of a shotgun are called for … well, there you go.

Murder Room

‘Escape room’ titles are a kind of game where you have to solve a series of linked riddles to get out of a room, and these days they still pop up now and then. Murder Room adds a new angle to the concept by shutting you into a room alongside a depraved serial killer in an animal mask. You aim is, in adventure mode, to get out alive. [Download]

Eyes: The Horror Game

Another heir to the popular Slender titles, except in this case you play a cat burglar who’s just committed his biggest-ever heist in a mansion, so you need to collect the bags of money scattered around the map without getting trapped by any of the supernatural creatures stalking the area. In each game the location of the objects will change, so surprises are always guaranteed. There’s also a Windows version. [Download]

Zombies, zombies everywhere! You’ve suffered a helicopter accident in the middle of a zombie pandemic and the only way to survive is to run, run like in a prison break from the undead giving you chase.

Zombiewood

There’s nothing more fun than a gory zombie film, so a game where you’re an actor filming a zombie movie should be even more so.
