YES!!! That was pretty much my first thought when I saw this video. I haven't watched it yet, but Project Firestart, Maniac Mansion (the scene when you enter the kitchen and have to run away from Edna - God, I had to prepare mentally for this every time), Xenomorph, and those Mindscape adventures like Deja Vu and Uninvited, those would be my top choices. And also Paradroid, when you've progressed really far, and then you're cautiously hovering through the decks knowing that the next encounter could end it all.
Yes, some of mine were Scarabaeus (AKA Invaders of the Lost Tomb), Castle Wolfenstein, Forbidden Forrest, Windwalker, The Master of Magic, Indiana Jones in the Lost Kingdom, Temple of Apshai
@@jimwright1971 I didn't know the AKA for Scarabeaus, but Invaders of the Lost Tomb fits perfectly for the game... Scaaaryy name for a scaaaryy game! Awesome music it has.... 80s nostalgia!
My brain: Oh, this list had better include... Thumbnail preview video: this one? Yep, that's the one. Forbidden Forest's spiders, and the sound when they munch on you, are forever burned into my childhood brain.
One game that rarely shows up on these kind of lists is Jack the Ripper. It's a text adventure with some digitized gorey graphics and a time limit, or turn limit it's not realtime, which makes it quite stressful.
Chiller makes you go back through the screens with your GF in tow, so I doubt they got the final level. Cauldron 2 map is actually the Palace Software logo. Forbidden Forest was an earlier release so graphics were actually very good at the time. Many of these arn't scary just Halloween theme. Keep up the great work though
Thanks for this video. Gave me nice memories of childhood in 80s. I think You should add "Rocky horror show" as this is spooky classic. "Nosferatu" have to be played with map. I still have no idea how to kill Nosferatu. Many times I was next to him but he always killed me. According to polish instruction You should use it a stake, but how? Lots of sleepless night with my brother. I still remember even when it was 35 years ago. We even blocked Nosferatu surrounding him by garlic, but still was not possible to kill this bastard.
Awesome video, very well presented full with some great games! I was way too young when I unassumingly loaded in Forbidden Forest, scarred for bloody life! The crude graphics make it so unsettling. Got to respect the dance though!
Nice list! I would add Force 7 and Alien. Force 7 is a Gauntlet-like where you have to clear a base from alien monsters using different type of soldiers while Alien is a adventure game where you have to escape the Nostromo before the xenomorf eats all the crew. Save the cat for extra bonus!
"You've got to rescue Scooby and Shaggy, I have no idea what happened to the rest of the gang,... presumably they're dead." This comment made me chuckle, thanks. 😅
Mad doctor was one of my favourites. It felt like a kind of "life simulator", since the people of the village did their routine stuffs in the game and the player could watch them. The only disadvantage of the game that even after killing a few villagers unnoticed, the left started to attack the player, so it was almost not possible to complete the game without killing everyone.
Nice video, didnt know many of the games on the list. Pity no Project Firestart on the list, too scifi for halloween horror? Also didnt know Nightbreed had any games made of it so that was surprise, have to try that one out.
For some reason i remember "Caverns of Khafka" as a horror game. Could be the music. ;) Most memorable for me is "Forbidden Forrest". Ghosts'n Goblins were perhaps the first "Souls like" game ever made.
I always thought Beyond the Forbidden Forest was much scarier and a better game. It's not a scary game, but the Last Ninja dungeon level always gave me creepy vibes, too.
Thank you. Really appreciate it. I plan on doing a C64 movie licensed games video next month so if you have any suggestions for what to include, let me know. 😎
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it! I didn’t expect to get so many recommendations when looking for games. I could easily do a part 2 (which I’m sure I will at some point).
Oooohhhh I remember playing Cauldron 2 here and there. Controls were brutal and therefor I never got far in that game. Free indy game Within A Deep Forest reminds me of Cauldron a lot because you play as a ball but with much better controls.
First time me and my friend loaded up Forbidden Forest was on a dark stormy evening after dark, the first video game with so much atmosphere I ever played. The graphics are Lego levels of chunky but it was a cool game back in early 1984, a far cry from the VCS games I had enjoyed before I got a C64.
I did not play any of these games. My copy of forbidden forest didn't work. Had maniac mansion though. Worthy of a mention! Nice to see several posters mentioning that tough game!
Staff of Karnath and other games in the Arthur Pendragon series like Entombed and Blackwyche were also pretty good contenders. On the graphic text adventure side, CRL had a whole series of horror adventures - Dracula, Frankenstein, Jack the Ripper and Wolfman.
You don't give Forbidden Forest its due. It was a fantastic game, with graphics that have their own style, blocky yes but you have to consider it came out at the beginning of the c64 era. Playability is ok, atmosphere is umatched in any c64 game and music is absoultely amazing: the best you can find on a c64. Plus it's the work of one single man. I have incredibly fond memories of this game, it was one of my first. Great video anyway. Precious walk down memory lane thanks.
The game Ghosthunter was actually originally a type-in BASIC game from a German magazine. The game was originally called Geisterjäger and released in Homecomputer 1983/05. The company that released the English version released it on a compilation pack without permission of the original dev. Robtek were notorious for this. I guess by BASIC type-in standards, the game's OK, but as a commercial release.... Jesus.
Couple other games I'd recommend' Castle Master 1 & 2 - You're in a 3D haunted castle with ghosts and rats. Darkland - This is a 2014 SEUCK game, which I normally find too generic, but I like this one. You walk right to left in a dark landscape with the round beam of your flashlight out in front of you. Octopus like creatures come at you in the darkness and most of them can only be seen when you shine your light on them. Otherwise, you might just see a brief glimpse of them when they move. You can only shoot them when your light is on them. It has a nice, creepy atmosphere, even if there's not much variety to it. Monster Bash - Monsters run through the graveyard and you have to prevent them from reaching the other side by moving the joystick to bop them with tombstones. Mountain King - You're collecting diamonds in a spooky mine infested with bats. Get 1,000, track down the flame spirit, offer it to the ghostly skull guardian, grab the crown and make it to the highest peak before time runs out, or a bat steals the crown. Don't go down on the lowest level or the giant spider might get you. Zombi - Graphic adventure game set in a shopping mall and directly inspired by Dawn of the Dead.
Sounds like a pirate hangover! I haven’t heard of that. I’ll see if I can get hold of it. Thanks for the recommendation. I definitely have enough for a part 2 of this topics
@@thereviewsbrothers3854 Heh, true. It's actually the sequel to the classic BC's Quest for Tires. I think the menacing sound effects in GR might be enough to genre-jump it from platforming/action to horror though.
Couple of great choices. I want to nominate an outsider, The Detective in which you had to solve a murder. It's not a horror game, but it manages to create a very eerie and scary atmosphere. There are longplays on TH-cam for anyone interested.
as a kid i was just afraid of the commodore64, like, the cassette reader. if you put those tapes in upside down it unleashed hell (from what i can remember). lol
Nosferatu the vampire was released on the Spectrum and it looks identical. I remember the changing of characters was essential to complete it as only Mina could destroy him with the stake.
Maniac Mansion was the first game I thought of. It was probably one of them you didn't get to in this video. I also remember playing Friday the 13th and never really understood what the endgame goal was. hah
@@thereviewsbrothers3854 I wish… only spooky games I can recall are Gremlins (although more of an action shooter) and Transylvanian Towers which I played last month for the first time!
mad doctor isn't cryptic, you just walking and watching people - you can research them to find out their conditions, then you waiting when they will be alone / kill them / take them to the mansion / prepare / use as parts for your creature / get a lightning into a creature /announce the exibition and guide creature to the exibition by the way - you are not very good at researching and haven't all you needed - so you find into town different objects able to improove your skills
That’s actually really good to know. I think my keyboard was playing up which didn’t help. I am actually planning on playing this one again next weekend to see if I can beat it. So I’ll definitely be trying harder. Might even live stream it.
Nice list. However, none of them hold a candle to ALIEN ( based on the 1979 film ) for C-64. That game will give you a heart attack when playing in the dark. I should know. I used to have it in the 80s and will never forget it. The terror is palpitating. Period.
Other games. Addams Family, Frankenstein (platform version), Bride of Frankenstein, Rocky Horror, House of Usher, Scary Monsters, Alien, Haunted House, Nightmare on Elm street, Frightmare, Ghost Chaser, Vampire, Mr. Weems and the She Vampires, Werewolves of London. I'll stop now. 😁
I think 8 bit games were either designed blissfully ignorantly with respect to the level of difficulty the average player would be able to handle _OR_ they were *_meant_* to be unsolvable for everyone but a tiny elite of hardcore gamers. Either way, people still spent actual money on them. Well, some people...
I remember a C64 game where at the start it showed you the complete level with a big castle or something at the end. You only had one life to reach the end. It was spooky themed and very atmospheric, i remember not getting very far, killing all the floating skulls or was it wasps.. that would go around in a circle and then jumping on a log, but always falling off. If any one has a clue as to what that game was called, that would be very much appreciated.
I have a question for the author; has he ever heard of a classic puzzle game called "The Castles of Doctor Creep"? It's a cross between a puzzle game and an escape room, and was made by Broederbund (Printshop; Carmen Sandiago). In it, there is a list of castle layouts; you choose one to go through. Someone used an editor to make a sequel (Dungeons of Doctor Creep), containing additional layouts in place of the originals. I've also heard of a sequel (The Castles of Doctor Creep 3) that simply is both sets of castles combined into a single game (sadly I don't seem to be able to use the image files for *that* one. :( ). Nevertheless, I recommend this game to you. What do you think?
That sounds great. I love escape rooms. A few people have told me to check it out. I plan on doing a part 2 on this subject soon, so I will add that to the list of games to include. Thanks for the recommendation. 😊
That was a great game. It was super fun with 2 players, as all the backtracking in single player mode could be a nightmare. Played it quite a bit back in the day with friends and a good dose of the old marijuana.
You forgot 3 really great games… Castle of Dr Creep, and Maniac Mansion. Of course the latter one went on to be very famous but the first one is a great Mad Scientist puzzler that creeped me out as a kid and Maniac mansion was very scary to me as a kid.
Have you played the MS-DOS sequel to MM (in Dosbox)? It's called "Day of the Tentacle", and is better than the first! I really prefer it's saturday morning cartoon look over the NES-like aesthetics of the original.
Oh bugger. Thank you for pointing that out. Not sure how I missed it. Thankfully it seems to only be for the first segment. I’ll have to sort that out. Appreciate you letting me know.
@@thereviewsbrothers3854 You missed it because you made the mistake of not watching through the entire video at least once before uploading it. I hope you do fix the video and re-upload it, as the audio for that first game is so obnoxiously loud, many viewers will probably stop watching and click elsewhere once their eardrums are assaulted by that portion of the video.
There was a game that took place in an insane asylum that was cool. It was a text adventure but it had art and graphical elements. I can't remember the name.

Friday the 13th was frigging scary, great horror atmosphere
You forgot the space horror of Project Firestart.
My opinion - the scariest game I ever played on my 64. Still one of my favorites today.
A lot of people have mentioned this. I’ll have to find it.
I can only agree; I literally jumped out of my seat when those creatures scared the sh*t out of me. My first experience with a *real* horror game.
YES!!! That was pretty much my first thought when I saw this video. I haven't watched it yet, but Project Firestart, Maniac Mansion (the scene when you enter the kitchen and have to run away from Edna - God, I had to prepare mentally for this every time), Xenomorph, and those Mindscape adventures like Deja Vu and Uninvited, those would be my top choices. And also Paradroid, when you've progressed really far, and then you're cautiously hovering through the decks knowing that the next encounter could end it all.
@@jefdarcy Paradroid gets really tough late in the game. It is indeed scary... Run for your life!
Great video fantastic but You missed one of the best American Werewolf in London
Nice one! I remember that i was also getting scared by "Detective game" when I was a kid, everytime there was a murder 😂
project firestart was the first survival game like resident evil.. really expected it on the list.
Believe it or not, "Lazy Jones" used to make me jump every time, when he'd get hit and quickly get yanked upwards off the screen.
Holy shit the "3rd slot recommendation roulette" actually recommended a good video!
Ha ha. Glad to hear it! Thank you for watching.
'Aliens UK' was probably the moodiest, scariest and atmospheric game for the C64
Forbidden Forest scared the Bejeezus outta me as kid in the 80s! Aztec Challenge and Scarabeus on C64, as well! Great games!
Yes, some of mine were Scarabaeus (AKA Invaders of the Lost Tomb), Castle Wolfenstein, Forbidden Forrest, Windwalker, The Master of Magic, Indiana Jones in the Lost Kingdom, Temple of Apshai
@@jimwright1971 I didn't know the AKA for Scarabeaus, but Invaders of the Lost Tomb fits perfectly for the game... Scaaaryy name for a scaaaryy game! Awesome music it has.... 80s nostalgia!
Forbidden Forest is a game I would still automatically put at No. 1 of any such list.
@@Stripedbottom Yes indeed, me too! Forbidden Forest is the most scary game I've ever played!
@@Stripedbottom Seconded. I loved it when i was little. Beyond was pretty good as well. Loved the music.
No 'Staff of Karnath'??? That game was creepy and had some of the best graphics i'd ever seen on the C64.
This is another one I haven't heard of. I'll check it out. Looks like I definitely need to do a part 2! Thank you.
The sequel Entombed as well. They were the two best games from the Pendraogn series.
My brain: Oh, this list had better include...
Thumbnail preview video: this one?
Yep, that's the one. Forbidden Forest's spiders, and the sound when they munch on you, are forever burned into my childhood brain.

Great video, you have a very calming voice.
Some wonderful choices to take a look at.
Hopefully more C64 content is on the way 🙂👍
Thanks, really appreciate it. Yes indeed - I have more C64 stuff coming soon. Always happy for video topic suggestions, too.
Chiller makes you go back through the screens with your GF in tow, so I doubt they got the final level. Cauldron 2 map is actually the Palace Software logo. Forbidden Forest was an earlier release so graphics were actually very good at the time. Many of these arn't scary just Halloween theme.

Was sure to see Elvira 2 - such graphics for the time! Project Firestar as well of course.
Good collection. I found Henri's House also a bit scary at times.
I haven't heard of this one. I'll have to add it to the list for part 2! Thanks for the recommendation.
Great video. Brought back some memories. I loved the opening music of Forbidden Forrest
Glad you enjoyed it. Got more C64 vids in the pipeline so make sure to check back soon 😊
@@thereviewsbrothers3854 will do 😁

Mad Doctor is symbolic for everything I love about the C64, the games were so weird and I love the chunky gfx.
Blinky Scary School, Beyond Forbidden Forest, Aliens (pov), Nightmare on Elm Street,...
Maniac mansion?
The scariest game for me was "Wizard of Wor". The music, the graphics. Loading up that game alway
Nice video, didnt know many of the games on the list. Pity no Project Firestart on the list, too scifi for halloween horror? Also didnt know Nightbreed had any games made of it so that was surprise, have to try that one out.
Ohh no Maniac Mansion. That chainsaw. That microwave.
I didn't realise there was a C64 version of this! I do have it, but as a bonus in the DOS version of Day of the Tentacle.
@@thereviewsbrothers3854 But it's the top comment in your C64 reddit thread! You must make a part 2 to atone for this!
For some reason i remember "Caverns of Khafka" as a horror game. Could be the music. ;)

I would definitely put Khafka in a list of scary games. No doubt.
Yeah, Khafka is really unsettling.
Staff of Karnath was pretty creepy. It was also godawful difficult. Seeing its ending in TH-cam after nearly 40 years was a liberating experience.
The sequel (Entombed) as well
Great video and humour! Subbed!

Such a cool variety.
Yeah these were fun to play.

Nice vid, but imho u missed to mention the only really scary game on c64, caverns of kafka
No mention of "Master of Magic" great game and excellent music!!!
I would add one more "Elvira - Mistress of the Dark".
Well, I’m currently getting a list together for movie based games… Elvira had a movie i think, so could include it there.
First time me and my friend loaded up Forbidden Forest was on a dark stormy evening after dark, the first video game with so much atmosphere I ever played. The graphics are Lego levels of chunky but it was a cool game back in early 1984, a far cry from the VCS games I had enjoyed before I got a C64.
Why is Ghostbusters and The Addams Family not on here, they are two of the best games on the C64
Don’t worry. They are in my upcoming movies on the c64 video 😏
when I was young I remember Aliens and Maniac Mansion as 2 games I played on the commodore 64 that were scary or horror themed.
Quick shout out to “Beyond Forbidden Forest”…a fantastic sequel to the original FF.

Other's I would suggest are:
Druid and Druid II
Maniac Mansion
Bubble Ghost
Dragon's Lair (first level is rough)
Although it's a text adventure, The Lurking Horror by Infocom is also great, especially if you're a fan of H.P. Lovecraft.

You forgot 3 really great games… Castle of Dr Creep, and Maniac Mansion. Of course the latter one went on to be very famous but the first one is a great Mad Scientist puzzler that creeped me out as a kid and Maniac mansion was very scary to me as a kid.
Have you played the MS-DOS sequel to MM (in Dosbox)? It's called "Day of the Tentacle", and is better than the first! I really prefer it's saturday morning cartoon look over the NES-like aesthetics of the original.
Where is Ghostbusters? :)
In next months movie games video 😉
hey i really like your ghost
What about Elvira I and II? They are great :)
Chimera and Friday 13th

The C64 audio of the first game comes in so loud on top of your voice that we can't hear a single word of what you're saying, unfortunately.
Oh bugger. Thank you for pointing that out. Not sure how I missed it. Thankfully it seems to only be for the first segment. I’ll have to sort that out.
Appreciate you letting me know.
@@thereviewsbrothers3854 You missed it because you made the mistake of not watching through the entire video at least once before uploading it. I hope you do fix the video and re-upload it, as the audio for that first game is so obnoxiously loud, many viewers will probably stop watching and click elsewhere once their eardrums are assaulted by that portion of the video.
There was a game that took place in an insane asylum that was cool. It was a text adventure but it had art and graphical elements. I can't remember the name.
Fun but hard. So easy to get lost. The name was actually just "Asylum".
