About the Game


It's the Night of the Curse

Rita the Re-animator is conducting occult experiments to bring her father back to life. In the nearby small town, a rift is ripped in the Veil, flooding the streets with spooks and specters, witches and werewolves, mummies, dummies, big tiddy vamp mommies; pumpkinheads, walking deads, undead newlyweds; slasher killers, third rate fillers, and the evils of the Thrillers.
It's up to young October, foremost among trick-or-treaters, to blaze a path to the old Haunted House and put an end to the annual Curse.

It's a Halloween Party!

This game has 5 levels – but it has over 30 unique enemy types! Everyone is invited to this October celebration. So get the spooky electro-swing pumping, smack a plastic mask over your kisser, and get ready to bob for some god-damned apples as the Vampire, the Mummy, the Monster, his Bride or the elusive Creature.

  • No saving or loading. Play through the game in one go!
  • 5 Halloween Monster Masks to pick up and wear, unlocking unique abilities.
  • 30+ enemy types, including pumpkins, skeletons and many strange cameos from old movies.
