Halloween is just around the corner, and while you can of course watch a scary movie, there are also plenty of apps for your iPhone and iPad that will make your horror night extra creepy.
The best Halloween apps
Today you’re probably celebrating Halloween in front of the tube, with or without a spooky costume. But ignoring the App Store completely would be a shame, as there are plenty of apps and games worth trying out. In the overview below we list the best Halloween apps in our opinion, from games to applications.
1. Sago Mini Monsters
For the younger creepers, Sago Mini Monsters is a fun way to celebrate kid-friendly Halloween. In this app you create your own monster by drawing on the screen and choosing from shapes. Once you’re happy with your creep, he’ll be animated and you can feed him treats, brush his teeth, and more.
2. Layers of Fear
Aren’t you afraid of a serious game of horror? Then you should start Layers of Fear tonight. In this game, you dive into the twisted brain of a mad painter, where it’s up to you to finish his masterpiece. While doing this you see ghosts and you are continuously misled. Also, turn up the volume so that you are completely absorbed by this creepy adventure game.
3. Five Nights at Freddy’s 4
If you’re looking for a game to scare someone quickly, look no further than Five Nights at Freddy’s. There are now several parts of this popular game series in the App Store, but they all have the same principle: you are at home this time, but the discarded robot beasts have followed you this time. It’s up to you to protect yourself from these beasts that prey on you. This is typically one of those games that is fun to play, but most of all to watch someone else play.
4. Netflix
If you’re looking for movies and series to watch during Halloween, then look no further than the Netflix app. There are plenty of horror movies and creepy series on it. If you have an Apple TV, you can easily stream a series or movie to it. Or you can use the accompanying Netflix app on your Apple TV.
5. Haunt the House: Terrortown
Apart from a pumpkin, a ghost is of course the symbol of Halloween. In Haunt the House you will find out what the life of such a clothed figure is like. This 2D puzzle game lets you take over objects so you can terrify people. That sounds serious, but thanks to the colorful and cartoonish graphic style, it isn’t. This makes for a fun puzzle game for both older and younger players, and is well worth the purchase price.
6. Pathé Home
Can’t find anything in the iTunes Store or Netflix? Then you can always take a look at the range of Pathé Thuis. Especially for today, a horror movie overview has been added to the home screen, so that you can immediately see which horror movies are available. Before you can watch a movie you have to create a Pathé Thuis account, but luckily that happened in no time.
7. iTunes Store
The iTunes Store app makes it easy to buy and rent digital movies. Enter the word ‘horror’ in the search bar or search for a specific movie and you can immediately start shuddering. If you choose to rent a movie, you can watch it on your Apple devices where you are signed in with your Apple ID. Of course this works on your iPhone and iPad, but it comes into its own on the Apple TV, which allows you to experience the movie on the big screen.
