Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October
31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating,
attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple
bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary
stories, and watching horror films.
Games for halloween and other activities
There are several
halloween games traditionally associated with
halloween parties. One common
halloween games
is dunking or apple bobbing, in which apples float in a tub or a large
basin of water and the participants must use their teeth to remove an
apple from the basin. A variant of dunking involves kneeling on a chair,
holding a fork between the teeth and trying to drop the fork into an
apple. Another common game involves hanging up treacle or syrup-coated
scones by strings; these must be eaten without using hands while they
remain attached to the string, an activity that inevitably leads to a
very sticky face.
Some
halloween games
traditionally played at Halloween are forms of divination. A
traditional Scottish form of divining one's future spouse is to carve an
apple in one long strip, then toss the peel over one's shoulder. The
peel is believed to land in the shape of the first letter of the future
spouse's name. Unmarried women were told that if they sat in a darkened
room and gazed into a mirror on Halloween night, the face of their
future husband would appear in the mirror. However, if they were
destined to die before marriage, a skull would appear. The custom was
widespread enough to be commemorated on greeting cards[29] from the late
19th century and early 20th century.
Another
halloween game/superstition
that was enjoyed in the early 1900s involved walnut shells. People
would write fortunes in milk on white paper. After drying, the paper was
folded and placed in walnut shells. When the shell was warmed, milk
would turn brown therefore the writing would appear on what looked like
blank paper. Folks would also play fortune teller. In order to play this
game, symbols were cut out of paper and placed on a platter. Someone
would enter a dark room and was ordered to put her hand on a piece of
ice then lay it on a platter. Her "fortune" would stick to the hand.
Paper symbols included: dollar sign-wealth, button-bachelorhood,
thimble-spinsterhood, clothespin- poverty, rice-wedding, umbrella-
journey, caldron-trouble, 4-leaf clover- good luck, penny-fortune,
ring-early marriage, and key-fame.
The telling of ghost stories and viewing of horror films are
common fixtures of Halloween parties. Episodes of television series and
Halloween-themed specials (with the specials usually aimed at children)
are commonly aired on or before the holiday, while new horror films are
often released theatrically before the holiday to take advantage of the
atmosphere.
What’s your favorite Halloween game?
Okay so technically there’s no such thing as a “Halloween month”,
but any gamer worth their salt would definitely be breaking out their
favourite horror-themed games, as we inch towards the last day of the
month.

I remember scenarios with banshees, poltergeists, and even a mummy, making this as a top choice for any Halloween party.
My third choice of a Halloween party game would be the smash hit
Halloween adventure,
Halloween hunt 2 ,
Invasion of the Halloween ,
Ben 10 Halloween Night
How can we not have a
zombie halloween games for this hallowed season?
The game is not only fast-paced and awfully easy to learn up, but
has what IMHO is simply the highest production values, seen in any game.
I used to think that the once-great Decipher Inc held the distinction
as being the company that made the most slick-looking games (Star Wars
CCG and the Lord of the Rings TCG), but Flying Frog kinda blew that
long-held belief away in this 2007 of a monster hit.
It’s got zombies, cardboard-thin-cliched characters, shotguns and
more zombies. It’s even got a soundtrack. The characters all had actors
playing them, and the entire game uses their photos. Last Night on Earth
better be the one game you have, especially when we get overrun by
zombies, and you’ll have to lock yourselves up in the basement. It is
seriously fun!
