Horrified: Custom Monsters II - Modern Horror

Continuing my review of Horrified's fan made monsters are these three from the modern horror set who turned out to be a very tough trio which almost saw us lose the game!

Jason Voorhees

It must be Friday the 13th for this hockey masked killer to show up and boy did he do a good job in murdering during our game. Given the "Creature's" movement set of traveling through the waterways its kinda funny that to beat him you need to push him back into the water to weaken and drown him. Tough bastard and the first one we focused on here, which might have been a mistake in hindsight but sure felt right at the time as he ended up with the most kills.

Samara Morgan

The girl from the well loves giving her photograph to someone and then teleporting to that person to attack them. Rather than being scary Samara was more a nuisance however and beating her simply is a fetch quest for four pieces of wood to cover her well (using Drac's coffin tokens as wood), because supernatural entities have a problem with wood I guess. Does that mean they're allergic to forests?

Just like the base game's Dracula, she's very susceptible to the explorer hero (mom) who can just warp around and collect the planks for the well. Anyway, until she's imprisoned again she's definitely dangerous to players but that danger can be mitigated by having an enormous stash of gear on the targeted individual. Samara's very focused you see, but that also makes her predictable.

Pinhead

This Hell priest was the quiet "achiever" if you like in our game and while he didn't personally kill many individuals, his power of vacuuming villagers towards him sure helped Jason cut down a great deal of them. Gotta give him a thumbs up for the RPG mechanics of a priest playing a support role! Solving his hell cube to banish him (a custom three dial device) did take some time but once it was just him on the board he had no chance.

This trio was far more scary than the forgotten classics set. Recommended!
