It's that time of the year when large gourds become interior decor and kids are encouraged to threaten their neighbours with unknown horrors if they fail to hand over candy. You can find inspiration in our features on fall decorating mistakes and how to decorate your porch for Halloween. We even have a DIY pumpkin basket tutorial.
But you don't need to dress up your house, pets or yourself to get into the Halloween spirit. It's also the perfect time to catch up on the best indie horror games of the year. They don't often have the visual realism of AAA games, but good indie horror games excel in creating atmosphere, suspense and jump-out-of-your-seat scares, with developers able to experiment more freely with design, storytelling and mechanics away from the tighter commercial considerations of big studios.
