Steam Halloween Sale Brings Massive Discounts on Spooky Games

As usual, Valve has unleashed a special themed event on its Steam digital distribution service, slashing the price on a variety of games in honor of the upcoming Halloween celebration in the USA.

Steam has gotten its community used to quite a lot of massive discounts, offering not just daily deals, but also mid-week ones or weekend-only price cuts.

Besides these regular discounts, quite a lot of holidays are also celebrated on Steam, from the winter ones to Thanksgiving, as each time Valve cuts prices on quite a lot of games available on the PC service.

Now, as Halloween is fast approaching, the company has once again unleashed an array of discounts on many horror or just spooky titles, from Dead Space to Devil May Cry 4, Fear 3, Dead Island or even Train Simulator 2012, which has received a pretty interesting Trains versus Zombies DLC.

Check out Valve's tongue-in-cheek announcement of the Halloween sale below.

"Halloween is almost here, and we know a lot of you are pretty scared. Normally, our advice would be to try to keep it together and just ride this thing out. But this year, we have a better idea: let Steam be your safe harbor from the terror that will probably be haunting your, say, house, for instance."

"With that in mind, from now through October 31st, we're offering discounts on a bunch of great games. Oh, these discounts will be shocking. Though they won't be scary in any meaningful way. Let these insane - but deliberately, rationally insane - deals be the one good, pure thing you cling to throughout the dark days ahead. Not sold? What if we told you that for every game you buy, we promise to try to kill a monster. Like maybe a skeleton. In fact, that's our Steam Halloween pledge to you: Sensible savings and we are going to murder a skeleton."

In regular Valve tradition, Steam users should expect another discount spree for Thanksgiving, and a massive one before the start of the winter holidays, probably at the beginning of December.
