HAUNTED: Halloween '87 (Year of the Witch)

Retrotainment Games completes the Haunted: Halloween trilogy with a standout NES entry titled “87.” After a decade of development and steady support from backers, the team released this cartridge version just in time for Halloween, wrapping up a fan-favorite series that began years earlier. This chapter embraces the eerie charm and retro challenge that define the haunt, delivering a cohesive, action-packed experience for fans of classic 8-bit gaming.

The story unfolds on October 31st, 1987, in Possum Hollow, a town that swells with excitement as the county fair arrives—hay rides, hot chocolate, carnival games—and a long, shadowy curse that has haunted the Halloween night for years. Donny and Tami return as the town’s stalwart defenders, having learned of the town’s dark past and sharpened their combat skills in previous encounters. This year, something feels different in the air, a sign that the sinister forces behind the curse are stirring with greater force.

In this chapter you’ll unleash new abilities through a refined, fast-paced action platforming experience on the NES. Expect enhanced attacks that hit harder and feel more decisive, plus destructible and visually striking exploding pumpkins that add a strategic edge to battles. The duo gains mobility and versatility with wall jumping to reach hidden routes, and broom ride battles that introduce airborne confrontations to the mortal ground battles you’ve faced before. These additions push the action beyond the predictable while staying true to the series’ retro roots.

With the Year of the Witch as its guiding theme, Haunted: Halloween ’87 challenges you to confront the sinister forces behind Possum Hollow’s curse and save the town from a fate worse than the fair’s creepy decorations. It’s a proud culmination of the Haunted trilogy, offering sharper gameplay, nostalgic charm, and a Halloween-night atmosphere that only the NES era could deliver.

Released on cartridge for backers and designed to be enjoyed by fans of retro action, this entry stands as a fitting tribute to classic horror-platforming on the NES. Can Donny and Tami restore the peace of Possum Hollow, or will the Year of the Witch rewrite Halloween for good?
