ZAMN was always annoying to me on genesis because of this horrible enemy hit noise it makes. Purely because of the sound, I always ended up playing the SNES version of that one, even though I far preferred the Genesis as a console overall.

Another fun game to play during Halloween would be "Haunting: Starring Polter-guy", which involves being able to play as a ghostly skateboarder whose objective is to scare away a sleazy businessman and his family out of their home by possessing various objects in many spooky yet hilarious ways. In fact, if there ever was a proper video game based on "Beetlejuice" to be made, that is how it would definitely be played. XD

Totally worth it. If you play as Eric LeCarde, you can stab diagonally by holding down the attack button and pressing the D-pad in any direction, even in a sweeping clockwise or counter-clockwise motion to sweep the spear around him in a spinning arc. I never see anyone doing that on playthroughs, not sure why. You can also hold down to charge up a super jump that kills anything you come into contact with.

Good list! Castlevania Bloodlines is one of my favorites on the Genesis! It always scratches my itch for classic 16-bit action! Another underrated "spooky" game I also recommend is The Addams Family. You travel around a spooky house as Gomez to save your family. I actually didn't know Demons of Asteborg had finally been released. I've been really looking forward to playing that one! It looks like an excellent 16-bit action game!

Zombies Ate My Neighbors is surprisingly very long. I had a copy decades ago, but I never finish tye game. The difficulty ramps up quickly by the fourth level ("Chainsaw Hedge Mayhem"). The password system was also both good and bad: good because they were short and allowed players to advance, but bad because they only appeared every four levels. I also had Ghostbusters. That was one of the first Genesis games I ever played. I still remember the steps and items required to beat each case and boss.
