It's that time of year. I don't know if people do this as much elsewhere, but half my neighborhood has been decorated for Halloween since mid-September. We've gone to the pumpkin patch, made pumpkin bread and bought trick-or-treat candy that, if I weren't on a diet, I would have cleared out by now. Now it's time to get serious about it and play some horror games so scary cheap that I don't have to pay anything for them at all. Note: this is just a list, not recommendations. I haven't played most of these.
Here's a list of 13...

A scary first person shooter that, like me, looks even older than its age (2014)
store.steampowered.com
Another first person horror with mixed reviews that looks better, perhaps, than people give it credit for. Probably at least good for some spooky atmosphere and a jump scare or two.
