Late at night. Thunder rumbles. Monsters are on the prowl. And the Late Pledge is now open...
The old Silver Cinema—abandoned for years, its velvet seats faded, its reels long unwound—flickers to life on the last night of October. Wind howls through broken windows. Neon buzzes faintly above the entrance. On the marquee, a torn banner struggles in the storm:“All-Night Spooktacular Film Festival.” Horror fans shuffle in, clutching popcorn and VHS tapes, unaware their tickets are one-way only.
The storm builds. Clouds claw at the sky like a werewolf at the screen. Lightning forks across the night, striking a substation with a deafening crack. Inside, the movie stalls. The image stutters. The film sizzles. Then the audio dies—replaced by static, a hiss, a groan. And then... they emerge.
Not actors. Not special effects. These are monsters. Real monsters. Torn from celluloid. Brought to life. You are one of them.
MONSTERS OFF THE REEL
Spooktacular is a cinematic horror board game where you become one of twenty unique monsters born from the darkest corners of B-movie nightmares. You’re not just wearing a costume. You are the thing under the bed. The whisper in the duct. The shadow in the back row.
You crawl out of the screen into a crumbling movie theater overrun with panicked spectators. Your mission? Haunt, hunt, destroy—and become the most terrifying creature ever committed to film. Each monster comes with its own rules, its own tempo, and its own method of making the audience scream.
One stalks from the vents. One devours entire aisles. One brings the ushers back from the grave. Some thirst for flesh. Others for fear itself.
Each game is a lost horror flick that never made it past the censors. Unpredictable. Blood-soaked. Brilliant. And when it’s over, only one scream will echo as the final credits roll.
NOW OR NEVER: LATE PLEDGE IS OPEN
The curtain hasn’t dropped—yet. The Late Pledge is now live, and this is your last chance to step into the projection booth before the reels run out.
You won’t just get the game. You’ll get collector-tier exclusives:
– The Outlander’s Mask, a relic from a banned sequel.
– Bonus monster cards from a"lost film reel."
– A playmat that reeks of mildew and forgotten fear.
– Components too cursed to hit retail.
These aren’t just add-ons. They’re artifacts from the Spooktacular world. Each item deepens the experience, thickens the atmosphere, and pulls you further into the VHS ritual.
And yes—early backers get it all at a lower price. But more than that? You get bragging rights. You were there when the monsters broke free. When the celluloid cracked.
The doors won’t stay open for long. Once the reels stop spinning… they won’t start again.
TERROR YOU CAN TOUCH
Spooktacular is not a reboot. Not a parody. It’s a ritual built from cardboard, plastic, and pure nostalgic dread.
Inside the box, you’ll find:
– 20 fully asymmetric monsters, each with its own power set. Some whisper through walls. Some twist reality. Some… just want to be loved.
– A modular cinema board, including screening rooms, projection booths, vents, popcorn machines, exits that never work, and secret passageways that may or may not exist.
– Streamlined rules that are easy to learn but layered in darkness. New players can jump right in, but the longer you play, the deeper the terror grows.
Every playthrough is a new VHS tape you found in your uncle’s basement. Unlabeled. Unfinished. Unexpected. Just press“Play”… and hope it ends before it ends you.
BUT YOU’RE NOT ALONE IN THE DARK
Spooktacular is a game of horrific competition. Every player controls a different monster, and every monster wants the spotlight.
You’ll stalk the same theaters. Hunt the same prey. But others are always one scream ahead. They’ll slam doors in your face, lure victims away, set traps in the aisle, or strike when your back is turned.
You can form uneasy alliances. Whisper across the lobby. Team up for a scene or two. But in the end, there can be only one name on the marquee.
There are no friends in this flick. Only survivors. And those who don’t get a sequel.
WANT TO PLAY TONIGHT?
Spooktacular is already haunting the digital realm on Tabletopia—a full tabletop simulation of the physical game. Not a cut-down demo. Not a video game. The actual board, the monsters, the tokens. Everything you’d find in the box… and a little extra glitch around the edges.
You and your friends can play online from anywhere, in real time. Explore the cinema together. Practice your scares. Perfect your strategy. Or just bask in the haunted glow of 1980s analog terror.
New to horror board games? Great. Tabletopia lets you learn the mechanics at your own pace. Try solo runs. Host digital screenings. Introduce your cult… we mean, your group… to the experience.
Whether you’re in Tokyo or Toledo, the nightmare is only a click away.
CHOOSE YOUR GENRE
Pick your flavor of fear:
– Starter Tier: Core game + access to the pledge manager. Enough to haunt a single screen.
– Expanded Tier: Includes the Outlander’s Mask pack, the exclusive playmat, and bonus monster materials. A double-feature of fright.
– Collector’s VHS Tier: For fans who shelve their games next to cracked clamshell cases of Phantasm, Basket Case, and The Stuff. Comes with everything, plus a few surprises we’d rather not name out loud.
Oh, and don't forget the digital version on Tabletopia so you can start playing before the mailman even hears you scream.
AND NO ONE LEAVES UNAFFECTED
Spooktacular isn’t just a game. It’s a curse in a box. A late-night TV broadcast you were never meant to see. A degraded tape that shouldn’t have survived… but did.
It’s for those who grew up on flickering screens, midnight movie marathons, and the hum of rewinding horror.
It’s for those who miss cigarette burns in the corner of the frame.
For those who remember that true terror doesn’t come from polygons, but from static, silence, and the sudden scream in a pitch-black room.
The Late Pledge is open. But not for long.
The final reel is spinning. The lights are dimming. The usher has vanished. The exits are jammed.
