As I get older, I find I have no interest in playing the cutesy/silly games that are everywhere on retro consoles (obviously, they were targeted towards kids). But I also don't have the patience for survival horror games like the resident evil or silent hill series. I'm just looking for a fun spooky game that I can jump into and start playing.

So what are your favorite action-oriented games featuring skeletons and bats and horror movie monsters that aren't actually trying to scare you? Any platform, any year. I'm looking for games whose entire theme is spooky, not just a single haunted house or graveyard level.

Ooooo. Zombies ate my neighbours! Absolutely a gem to play with your best friend. Good memories of that.

Level password VXBB for level ~30ish is forever burned into my memory.

Dude, nice. I totally forgot about the codes. Oooof. Fav weapon... Hmm.. damnit, I liked chucking the 6-pack. It sucks I don't recall fine details. I know the mummy levels throughout drove me nuts. I wanna play... Music was fantastic.
