To promote discussion and awareness of Nintendo Life Spook Month, I'm moving the Spook Month thread here and locking the other, listed in Announcements. Since almost all of the featured games will be retro, this feels like an appropriate place.

Frightful Friday and Scary Saturday reviews will debut all this month at 9 AM UK time / 3 AM US central time - the witching hour! Hope you enjoy.

Spook Month has been:
October is Spook Month on Nintendo Life
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GameCube) review
Goosebumps HorrorLand (Wii) review
NLFM: Halloween Hootenanny
Dr. Franken (Game Boy) review
Luigi's Mansion (GameCube) review
Resident Evil (GameCube) review
Resident Evil 2 (Nintendo 64) review
The Addams Family (Super Nintendo) review
Addams Family Values (Super Nintendo) review
Fester's Quest (NES) review
Silent Hill Play Novel (Game Boy Advance) review
The Addams Family: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt (Super Nintendo) ...
Features: Fear in Gaming

We hope you've enjoyed Spook Month!

And don't forget about the Shocktober Thread of all things scary for more general spook-related discussion.

Time for an Avatar Swap myself. So what Hallloeen/Horror-type games will you guys be playing for this October Halloween?
So far I plan to play Castlevania: Rondo of Blood for the very first time ;) Dead Space Extraction might be another, as well as Kirby Super Star Ultra....So not Spooky! But eh! :p

I know Luigi's Mansion never got that review... :(

I remember it being one of the ones due for re-review, as the old one was terrible! Seems like a good month for it :)

Feel free to add me to any of the listed consoles or services here :D just let me know who you are!

Liking the Spook Month stuff, thanks!
I've been playing some Castlevania 4, a little Monster Party on NES, and some of the Haunted House remake on Wii. Have lots more stuff I'd like to play for the Halloween season, hoping I get to get some more gaming time in soon!

Come check out my site! I'm normally talking old games and whatnot. Stop by, leave a comment, and let me know what you think!
