They Came from Beyond the Grave!
A tabletop roleplaying game inspired by the dramatic, campy, and horrifying style of 1970s horror cinema. Players portray humans confronting vampires, werewolves, ghosts, demons, slashers, constructed creatures, and other supernatural threats in settings ranging from haunted houses to the 19th century and 1970s. Powered by the Storypath system, it includes character creation with customizable Archetypes, rules for quips and cinematic story devices, special powers, ready-to-play scenarios, and a collection of antagonists, locations, and events. Adventures combine serious danger with melodrama, farce, and dark humor.
