PlayStation Plus subscribers get an extra discount on select horror titles as well, including the likes of Black Ops 2 zombie DLCs, Dead Space 2 and Resident Evil among the titles on offer as part of the promotion.

Halloween is the perfect time for kids and adults alike to discard their usual norms of dressing, which have been enforced by society, and dress up however they like, usually to some hilarious results. At the same time it’s a great time of year to do business as well with costumes, decorations and party items all selling like hot cakes with a warm cup of tea, or coffee, on a chilly winter’s afternoon.

Video games are no different, as many gamers prefer to try out some of the more horror themed games as well and Sony seems to want to take advantage of that, as the medium is slowly but surely becoming the number one choice of entertainment for many.
