Valve's fifth annual Halloween showcase, Steam Scream V (Steam Scream Fest 2026), is officially live across the store. Running from October 26 through Monday, November 2, 2026 at 10:00 AM PT (1:00 PM ET / 17:00 UTC), the event slashes prices by up to 90% across hundreds of survival horror classics, psychological thrillers, and co-op monster hunts on PC and Steam Deck.
Five Major Horror Titles Drop by 90% Under $6
The deepest markdowns of the 2026 event hit a flat 90% discount. Montreal studio Red Barrels has cut both of its single-player found-footage classics to pocket change: the original Outlast drops to $1.49 (down from $14.99, or $1.94 CAD), while Outlast 2 is available for $1.99 (down from $19.99, or $2.59 CAD).
Three additional standout releases share that 90% off tier during the sale:
- Dying Light (Techland) falls to $2.49 (regularly $24.99), delivering dozens of hours of parkour zombie survival in solo or four-player co-op.
- Scorn (Ebb Software) drops to $4.99 (regularly $49.99), offering an atmospheric biomechanical nightmare inspired by H. R. Giger.
- The Quarry (Supermassive Games) hits $5.99 (regularly $59.99), making it an easy pickup for a group movie-night playthrough.

My Perspective
If I had to pick just three essential buys from Steam Scream V before Monday's deadline, I would go straight for Resident Evil 4 at $9.99 and Amnesia: The Bunker at $4.99. Capcom's remake delivers fifteen hours of relentless, razor-sharp action, while Frictional's WWI bunker stalker remains one of the most nerve-shredding stealth experiences on PC for the price of a coffee. And if you need a four-player co-op game for Friday night, The Outlast Trials at $11.99 (-70%) finally hits the sweet spot where convincing three friends to jump into Murkoff's experiments is an easy sell.
