Little Shop of Horrors and deep cuts like Sheridan Le Fanu’s “The White Cat of Drumgunniel,” horror fans will delight in the variety of tales adapted for your game table.
WRITE YOUR OWN FRIGHTMARES: Tropes abound here for horror buffs, but when you insert yourself into the story, it’s up to you to play with, lean into, or subvert the canon. Players and Fright Masters alike are encouraged to craft their own experiences and take control of the scares for themselves.
