The Halloween-inspired Google Doodle shown on the search engine's homepage on Wednesday is completely interactive, allowing you to explore explore a haunted house by clicking on ghosts and monsters, but the tricks don't stop there.

Typing a horror movie name and the year it was made into Google will reveal a spooky treat. For example, type in "Halloween 1978," "Paranormal 2009" or "Silent Hill 2006," and a series of black bats will appear on the right side of the page. Hover over them and watch them fly away.

In previous years, Google's Halloween doodles have included a giant pumpkin and a Scooby Doo scene.
