    I feel like Doom or Quake are cop outs here, but they are perennial replays, and they have some great horror aesthetics

    I’m not sure how old old is, but SOMA is always such a delight to play through.

    Another somewhat older game is Duskers where you control drones one empty human ships, trying to find out where humans went.

    I don’t like horror games but Viscera Cleanup Detail I can accapt.

    The only horror elements are the aftermath of a big and bloody gun fight and you’re tasked to clean up the mess. ;p

      Ooh, I loved Grim Fandango as a kid, but my disk kept breaking around the end of the game. I’ll have to go replay it, it has probably been long enough to forget most of the puzzle solutions. I recently replayed Day of the Tentacle and loved it. :)

        The Monkey Island game that came out a year or two ago was pretty great too if you want a modern take on the genre.

        I imagine you’ve played some of the others, but if not you should do 1 & 2 immediately.

    MediEvil. It’s not a horror game, but I always think of it as the game that carries the Halloween feeling the best.

    It’s not old, but I saw someone post their playthrough of Pumpkin Jack, which you play as a jack-o-lantern in a spooky-themed game.

    I haven’t played it myself, but I’m a fan of fun platformers so I may check it out.

    I don’t know about Halloween as such, but ghost-themed, I guess Ghost Master. Twenty years old now, but try to make use of various ghosts with different abilities to drive people out of various buildings and houses.
