Jack-o'-lantern horror games

Carved pumpkins glow on porches, kitchen counters and farm fences in these games, and in some of them the grin belongs to the thing hunting you. You walk dark streets on Halloween night, hide from a killer in a house lit by candles in the pumpkins, or meet scarecrows and visitors whose heads are lanterns. The light is warm, but it shows little past the porch.
