Alone for Halloween? Discount games & apps ward off boredom
Haunting Halloween Apps
Ghouls, ghosts, vampires, zombies, princesses, minions – those are just some of the creatures you’ll be seeing tonight knocking at your door and screaming “trick or treat!” Kids will be bouncing off the wall with all the candy they collect today, but Halloween can also be fun for adults who may want to spend a quiet night alone in the house. To ward off boredom, here are some games and apps going on sale for the Halloween holiday.
