Spookshow

Spookshow is a retro horror game where you play solo or with friends as the unlucky stars of a 1990's midnight TV Show. Create your episode by selecting your map, monster, and character, then fight to survive each terrifying tale — or step into the monster’s shoes and make the show a scream.

About the Game

Good evening boys and ghouls...you're about to witness the Spookshow. Where every nights episode has one victim...YOU!

Step into the world of Spookshow, the forgotten horror television phenomenon of the 90's, where every time you play you step into an episode of the cult classic — where you write the story. Play solo or with friends as characters trapped in deadly tales, or take control of the monster and rewrite the script in blood.

Mix and match characters, monsters, and maps to create your own terrifying TV episode, packed with campy scares, puzzles, chills, thrills, and cinematic kills.

Play With Friends, or Alone

Play alone for a classic horror experience, or team up with up to 4 players in online multiplayer. One player can take on the role of the monster — or leave it to the AI for a terrifying co-op expirience.

Play the Victims...or the Monster

Choose from a cast of characters — the Teenagers, the Repair Men, the Security Guards, the Priests, and more — each with their own objectives and to-die-for intro sequences. Use stealth, tools, and teamwork to survive the night.

Or...become the nightmare.

Each monster has unique abilities, movement rules, and win conditions. From shadow-dwelling killers to reality-bending poltergeists, every monster offers a new way to terrorize.

Replayable Episodes

Every match is an episode. Select your character, monster, and map to generate a unique scenario. From haunted campgrounds to derelict carnival rides, no two shows are the same. 

Atmosphere-Rich Gameplay

Turn off lights to hide. Break down doors to escape. Use flashlights, flares, and found tools to manipulate your environment and survive. The monster is watching — and learning.

A Love Letter to Campy Horror

Inspired by shows like Tales from the Crypt and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Spookshow delivers laughs, frights, and style in equal measure. Each match begins with a live-action host intro and ends in screams. Can you survive the episode?
