10 Halloween horror maps to check out in Minecraft
1) Late Delivery
Minecraft players begin this map by heading home after a long day and inexplicably receiving a strange package bearing a note with a familiar symbol. Shrugging things off, they go to sleep and wake up to realize someone has broken into their house and trapped them inside.
To escape, players will have to solve puzzles and find clues around their home, but they should know that they're being watched at every step by The Night Eye, who has devious plans in mind for them.
2) Trip to Brenneburg: Remake
In this map, Minecraft players take on the role of an English treasure hunter, heading to the castle of Brennenburg in Prussia with hopes of finding an artifact known as the Orb of Life. However, the castle may not be as empty as it once seemed, as a sobbing entity begins to approach and hound players wherever they go.
Players will have to run and hide as they solve puzzles and flee their assailant. The Orb of Life may still be in Brenneburg for the taking, but fans will have to ensure that they can survive first.
3) The Horror Experiment
In this Minecraft map, fans take on the role of a government investigator headed to the small town of Little Stapledern, where eight orphans have gone missing from the Gray Orphanage nearby. What begins as an investigation to uncover the truth unravels into a night of horror that players won't soon forget.
Complete with custom mobs and models, plenty of weapons and ammunition types, and multiple locations to explore, The Horror Experience is immensely in-depth and equally unnerving.
4) Final Hour
Created by the same team that brought Minecraft fans Late Delivery, Final Hour puts players in the shoes of a police officer who is returning to their vacated station after a long day to finish up some paperwork. The only problem is that they're not alone in the station, as someone or something else is on their heels, and escape won't be a simple proposition.
One of the big upsides of this map is its retro Playstation 1 aesthetic, which can be deeply nostalgic for fans of old-school horror games.
5) Dagon
Centered on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Dagon is a Minecraft map with an undeniable atmosphere of horror, even if it isn't centered on action and skill-based gameplay like many of its counterparts. Players take on the role of a man with a decaying state of sanity, thinning the veil between our everyday world and the one that lies beyond it.
This map is all about experiencing otherworldly creatures and landscapes, so they shouldn't expect to be doing much combat or inventory management, to say the least.
6) Silent Hills: Playable Teaser
P.T., also known as Playable Teaser, was a short-lived demo by Konami for the canceled title Silent Hills. The game was an overwhelming success for its take on psychological horror brought to life by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro. Sadly, after Kojima Productions' separation from Konami, Silent Hills was canceled, and P.T. was removed from online storefronts.
Fortunately, Minecraft fans can re-experience the dread-inducing atmosphere of P.T., thanks to this map. Trapped in an endless hallway, players are beset by psychological terrors as they continuously open the hallway's doors to find new scares at every turn of the corner until they find their way out.
7) The Backrooms (Found Footage)
Based on the dread-inducing liminal space video by the filmmaker Kane Pixels, this map is a faithful recreation of The Backrooms, which took the internet by storm not long ago. Awakening in a strange space with clues scrawled on the walls, players must find a way to escape their seemingly empty environs.
The only catch is that these backrooms are anything but empty, and players will have to find a way out before their fellow inhabitant finds them first.
8) Stephen's Case
A grisly murder has occurred on an isolated farm, something that no ordinary person could accomplish. Minecraft players are sent to investigate, but what starts out as a mystery devolves into terror as players come face-to-face with the killer. This map includes intense chase scenes, custom visuals/audio, and cutscenes, Stephen's Case is quite a ride from start to finish.
Particularly observant players may even find the secret ending to the map if they're a little daring.
9) Deep Coma
During a lucid dreaming experiment, players will realize that what should've begun as a pleasant doze has become a seemingly inescapable nightmare. As they delve deeper into their own subconscious mind, the information they find makes them a target for an entity that's seeking to silence them for good.
This map is undoubtedly a great example of well-made psychological horror within Mojang's sandbox title, where the only way to flee the horror is to wake up from one's slumber.
10) Phasmophobia in Minecraft
Phasmophobia took the gaming world by storm in 2020, placing players in the shoes of ghost hunters determined to discover the identity of spirits inhabiting various locations. Fans can do the very same in Minecraft with this map, which is lovingly detailed to be as close to the original Phasmophobia as possible.
With a wide array of ghost-hunting gadgets, players must deduce what kind of spirit is haunting a given place. They'll have to be careful, though, as some spirits are more aggressive than others and won't take kindly to being disturbed by wayward mortals.
