Yes, for such a short library compared to other systems, it has its fair share of spooky games!
Splatterhouse: A quintessential halloween game if there was ever one, scary atmosphere, lots of weapons and all kinds of gross enemies.
Ghost Manor: I've not played this, but it qualifies.
Night Creatures: A very cool game in my opinion, even if a bit hard to control.
Silent Debuggers: Not a Halloween game per-se, but the sudden appearances of the aliens can make you jump off your seat!
Alien Crush/Devil's Crush: A bit of a stretch, but they have an aliens/demons theme with the music enhancing it quite well.
Legendary Axe 2: Another bit of a stretch but the atmosphere is very dark and depressing.

Dead of the Brain 1 & 2

I always thought the same thing about the Turbo too.
-
Magical Chase is a game about a witch who flies into a pumpkin themed store to buy upgrades. It has a Halloween theme, so does Cotton.
-
There's Samurai Ghost, Ninja Spirit, Addams Family, and Kiki Kaikai too for spooky themed games.
-
If including PCE games, there's way too many to list, especially using the OP's criteria.
Some others include:
Tengai Makyous, particularly Kabukiden.
Neo Nectaris
Makai Prince whatever
3x3 Eyes
Snatcher
Ghouls N Ghosts
Dungeon Explorers
Bonze's Adventure

The fact that the Turbo is orange and black definitely lends it to Halloween associations for me.

Are you sure it's not red and black? :lol:

How could I forget...
Hyaku Monogatari: Hontou ni Atta Kowai Hanashi
(http://taradgame.com/images/pcengine/Hyaku-Monogatari---Hontou-n.jpg) (http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=11580.0)
I like a bunch of tracks from this game...and someone uploaded them to YouTube months ago...
UPDATE: It was SuperPlay! He provided the Hyaku Monogatari SCD Soundtrack (http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=11580.0) Give it a chance. It will grow on you. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

1. American culture is not even consider real people. We are considered cattle, consumer people.
Halloween games back then was the closest thing to horror, as the 1980's wained, male fictional
material became weaker, and divided into two groups. Horroe and sci-fi.
Halloween was the only thing where a kid, could be invovled and has nothing to do with gang,
sex, violence, or anything like that. You know the ficitonal Dracula we all know, Darkstalkers basically.
So that is why their are many US halloween games.
...
About Japan. You see magical chase, with the standard witch and pumpkin getup,
but that is RPG with a "Quest" turn-over, themed game. Horror-story along with splatterhouse are basically mimicing horror themed ideas. where halloween usually comes about. Then their is
the candle ghost/shrine maiden thing that has to do with their religion, and various spirit fesitvals that are year round ( like Tenchi ). In fiction Halloween themed fights like Dirty Pair
vs the Terminator, and their are a bunch of Halloween related things.
The same with ghostbusters, could be said, as well.
Ghouls and ghosts is the standard ancient time themed gameplay, but redifined. Don't you just love that theme, of ghouls and ghosts.
Samurai ghost is more or less related to some cultureal and relgious belief. You can see the reused/ rehased map in SG, used in various war games/
...
Back to Turbo, hey what about Purin, the Halloween made exclusively for Jews ?
That is why our Halloween is a fake Halloween. They make their own Halloween and then
resell the same damn costumes. Asides for being fun with ghosts ( yeah we call em ghosts ), and sfutt, Halloween games stand beside
I am just throwing this out their, but Addams Family was almost as a fun as playing Castlevania, but in that television Addams Family way, while Castle felt alive like an animation
or NES videogame, but in full color

Red would be more like this:

I think I'll pop in Samurai Ghost for the first time on Halloween and give it a try. I'll also playthrough Splatterhouse again and maybe Magical Chase or Cotton if I have time.
I wish I had a Supergrafx and Ghouls and Ghost but there's always next Halloween :wink:
