Fallout: New Vegas may not be the first game one thinks of when Halloween approaches, but with this fun new mod the Mojave Wasteland can be turned into a playground for the spooky season. There's no denying that the Fallout franchise has its fair share of horror influences; The Feral Ghouls that roam around the Capital Wasteland and the terrifying Cazadors that plague the perimeter of New Vegas are certainly scary for some fans. Having said that, the series' tone and aesthetic aren't generally associated with pure terror, so a little helping hand is needed to complete the vision.
Posted to Nexus Mods by creator Piro, the "Halloween Special - Wasteland Psychos and Serial Killers" mod adds several fun features to Fallout: New Vegas, including three Pumpkin Masks, a "Serial Killer Hockey Mask" clearly inspired by Jason Voorhees, a Grim Reaper Scythe, and even Pumpkin Grenades to terrorize the local NPCs. While the mod itself doesn't do much to transform New Vegas into a horror-infused nightmare, its best addition will make running around the Wasteland scarier: Several random encounters with "different psychos and serial killers."
