Apps for Halloween: Get your spook on!

There's loads happening around town to mark Halloween - but if you're happier to stay home, you can still get into the spirit of this American tradition with these apps that range from terror-inducing to challenging and cute (you know, for the frail of heart!). Happy Halloween!

Creepy Tales
If trick-or-treating and Halloween parties aren't really your thing, you can still get into the spirit of Halloween with some horror stories. With over 100 stories in seven different categories (such as Paranormal, Ghosts and Demons, Crimes and Insanity, and Instructions to Evil), there's bound to be something here to freak out everyone. Good way to find out if you and your pals are really unafraid of the dark.
Android, Free

Turned: Zombie Photo-Real Effects
No need for a zombie war - thanks to this app, you can look the part of a wounded survivor with ease. Transform your photos or videos with bloody, gaping wounds and other special effects (shudder). But let's get something straight off the bat: these guys aren't kidding when they call their effects 'photo-real' - because they look perfectly repulsive. Go on, give your friends the heebie-jeebies.
iOS, Android, Free

Shoot the Zombirds
There's an army of undead birds and they have wicked plans for all the little 'Pumpkids' (pumpkin children). Your mission: save the children from those dastardly birds, of course. Use your crossbow and magic power-ups to collect points and coins with every haunted level of this addictive shooter game that has some great graphics to boot.
Android, iOS, Free

Pumpkin Carver Pro HD
Not very good at carving pumpkins? Here's a far less messy way to get in some practice! Carve the perfect Jack-o'-Lantern using a variety of tools or just your fingers. Great for testing out design ideas - because there's definitely no 'back' button on a real pumpkin! It's a cute app, but the price of cleanliness is apparently a bit steep.
