"Fallout 4" is an oddly perfect game for Halloween with its eerie atmosphere, chilling creatures, and constant reminders of October's spookier side. The game begins on October 23, 2077—just before nuclear bombs drop, ending the world as we know it and transforming the Commonwealth into a ghoulish wasteland. The Fallout universe is already steeped in '50s-style horror, with skeletal remains decorating most abandoned buildings, haunted by the memories of those who lived there. Imagine traversing through Lexington's Super Duper Mart, feeling the ghostly dread as you sneak past feral ghouls lurking in the shadows. These irradiated horrors, with rotting flesh and unholy speed, resemble Halloween zombies far more than most other enemies, making you wish you had the Grim Reaper's Sprint perk to get out fast. And with Halloween in mind, "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" has never been more fitting as you rain Molotov cocktails on your enemies under a spooky, crimson sky.

For those embracing their inner Halloween spirit, "Fallout 4" has all the costumes and candy corn you could ever need. Donning a Silver Shroud costume transforms you into a vigilante anti-hero, ready to prowl Boston’s dark alleyways. Meanwhile, raiding Halloween-decorated homes in Sanctuary Hills or scattered trick-or-treat bags offers a bittersweet glimpse of what October festivities were like pre-war. Every item you pick up feels like a spooky treat—Nuka-Cola Quantum glows a ghostly blue, and Blood Packs add a vampire vibe to the post-apocalyptic scavenging. Even weapon choices play into the Halloween theme; wielding the ghastly "Revolutionary Sword" as you hack through radroaches or the splatter-effect "Splattercannon" for some extra gore makes you feel like the Commonwealth’s Michael Myers. And don’t forget Dogmeat, your loyal Halloween hound, who looks a bit like a wolf ready for a spooky costume of his own.

The Commonwealth itself has plenty of haunted spots that make perfect Halloween locations. The Museum of Witchcraft in Salem oozes classic horror vibes, with creaky floorboards, gruesome remnants of past "sacrifices," and a terrifying surprise in the form of a Deathclaw—perfect for a Halloween fright! Add in the Children of Atom lurking in irradiated spots like the glowing sea, and their ghostly chants and radiation-riddled faith make you feel like you’ve stumbled into some twisted, atomic-age cult. Even the soundtrack of songs like "Maybe" and "Uranium Fever" brings a vintage Halloween vibe as you explore. And with the Mysterious Stranger appearing out of nowhere to help you in battle, there's always an unexpected scare or two waiting around every corner.
