Of course, this cartoony tower defense hit from PopCap isn't overtly scary, though the growling of sauntering zombie hordes could prove at least a bit creepy for younger kids. As such, Plants vs. Zombies makes for a great introductory horror for little ones, especially with its passive-yet-appealing gameplay.

There's something endlessly fun and satisfying about fending off waves of undead with pea-pelting Repeaters, flaming Torchwoods, and Gatling Peas. The classic mobile rendition is a particularly great option for kids, with its intuitive touch controls that make for simpler, seamless gameplay. The game is available for several platforms, including mobile, Windows, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and Switch.
