For many, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was the revival that the famous horror franchise desperately needed. The iconic horror-fest that was the Baker Ranch is brought to Los Santos and is filled with all sorts of monstrous creations to soothe player's itch for horror as we near Halloween.

GTA V isn't a scary game by any means, but this mod definitely ups the creepy factor and should also satisfy fans of gory horror. This is one of the better mods created for GTA V in the horror genre and is essential for fans of the genre who also enjoy GTA V.

The mod essentially turns the O'Neil ranch in GTA V into the Baker Ranch from RE7 with fantastic results.

2) Sewer Monster 1.0

GTA V is packed to the rafters with all sorts of cool Easter Eggs littered throughout the city. A number of those Easter Eggs have to do with a supposed Sewer Monster in the drainage that has been claiming the workers' lives.

While there is no actual Sewer Monster in the game, this mod brings the horror to life. For fans of movies like The Host, this is the perfect mod to bring the cantankerous and disgusting sewer monster to life in GTA V.

This also adds an element of mystery as the player must uncover what has been leading to the disappearance of workers in the sewers and uncover the monster behind it.

3) Simple Zombies

No game in the modern-day seems to let go of zombies in the horror genre, mainly because they're effectively the most exciting enemy type for gameplay. The Simple Zombies mod is one of the best horror mods created for GTA V and has been polished to an insanely great degree.

The mod can stand on its own two feet as a legitimately engaging game experience and should keep players on the run, desperately gunning down zombies for hours on end.

No Halloween is complete without at least one sighting of a Jason Vorhees mask around. Friday the 13th and Jason are simply icons and mainstays of the genre, and October is definitely their month.
