Free Online Horror Games

Some use interactive motion videos whereas others employ a combination of puzzles and creepy sounds to scare your bones.

5. Deanimator
A plain zombie shooter, Deanimator has 2D visuals that resemble ancient Chinese shadow puppetry. This free online game is loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft’s Herbert West: Reanimator short stories. It is a creepy story about a mad doctor’s experiments on corpses. His experiment on reanimating the dead goes wrong, which further develops into an uncontrollable zombie outbreak.
Deanimator provides a unique twist to the story. It gives you a chance to eliminate those gruesome monsters with a pistol and shotgun. Using the mouse, you will have to click on the vulnerable parts of a zombie to kill him in a single shot. There are some edgy scenes, especially when the doctor reloads his pistol and zombies keep pouring in. Any monster coming too close to him will just pluck his head out and you will have to restart the game. You gain points after each successful kills. The bonus shotgun can really prove handy as it guarantees single shot kills. Although a simple shooter, Deanimator can give you the chills by those scary gun reload moments.
4. The House
Developed by a Thai game developer Sinthai Boonmaitree, The House has neither any objectives nor any points to score. This 15-minute game is solely developed to scare the daylights out of you. The settings, black and white visuals and eerie sounds may remind you of any old haunted house movie.
The House is different from other point and click free online horror games. There are five rooms to explore. Clicking certain objects in each room triggers horrific scenes, which are absolutely not recommended for the weak heart. Each room tries to reveal the mystery behind a family’s suicide. The final room, being the scariest of all, completes the story. The strange ending can leave you wondering what really occurred inside. All in all, The House can be very scary, but too short.
