an IP with the Lovecraft estate might be interesting. Facing off against a Shoggoth, Serpent Folk, and the Color Out of Space. Likewise classic non-Universal monsters like The Thing, Pumpkin-Head, Penny-Wise, the Blob, or even the Gremlins.

I think it's nice that she lets her 11 year old brother join in the broadcast. That's a good big sister.

[dangerousbeans]

Fairy tale version would be great. Good idea.

[yum]

I know its not thematically scary, but seeing this system implemented with batman villains would be fun

[Steve-Fiction]

My personal idea was Horrified: Japanese Monsters. They could have Kappa, Yuki-Onna, Tengu and the likes.

But I really like your ideas as well, especially Grimm fairytales. I imagine them having the Big Bad Wolf, Rumpelstiltskin, evil witches and the likes.

Greek monsters? Finally, I can punch a minotuar

[timkitchen]

Thanks for the great explanation. Wondering if you think this would be a good game to play with my grandkids. They love Halloween, and I'm partial to the Universal Monsters. They are 9, 7, and 5 years old.

I'm working on a "La Llorona" custom monster scenario for American Monsters.

It utilizes visual landmarks and details in the map in order to find her hideout and defeat her.

People that have played Tobago before will understand the concept immediately.

But It's basically like a puzzle that relies on the postmortem testimony of her victims.

You search for these clues near the water areas where the bodies were drown. But that's where you are the most vulnerable since you could be next.

Haven't been able to play test it yet since I'm still waiting for my copy of American Monsters.

But I think it will be pretty fun.

I played the first two, I like both. The monsters sre different and feel different in second, but OG is my favorite.

I would love to see a cosmic horror version featuring the Xenomorph, Predator, Demogorgon, Clover, Hellraiser and the Thing.

[StevieInMTL]

Hey, how are the contents and quality of the sequels vs the OG version? I’ve read quality went down a lot with each new release (Ravensburger as a company is known for this)

[rolling.reggie]

I actually heard that the stranger things upside down game is basically horrified mechanics. Big agree on Grimm fairytales as a theme, I would suggest a kaiju theme like Godzilla, Mothra, Kraken, Loch Ness, megalodon.

Great video! I really might just pull the trigger and buy American monsters. It’s on major sale on Amazon right now.

[TheZappaZ]

Great video, thanks for making it.
The first two have been on my radar for some time but the new one looks interesting for my group.
After reading about the rules ambiguity on it I'm leaning more towards the first one honestly.
I know it is very overdone but I think a Cthulhu one might be fun.

[CaroLiaGrace]

Thanks that helps me choose which version to buy

[IllBuythePopcorn]

I really love Horrified. I need to get the new one. I didn't get the spooky vibe from the Greek Mythology, good to know it doesn't play that way either. I still want it.😄😄
Loving the shirts!

[floydpinkerton]

Just brought you to 1000 subs.

Great content!

[tiagoyago]

For people outside America the second is kind of meh compared to the first

[glasscube]

This is so weird. I was literally just debating on if I should get the others other than the original right when you posted this video. I really would love to own Terrified, but I’d like to see a Dark Souls/Bloodborne theme. Maybe even a B Movie theme could be cool too. It’s hard to think of a theme that isn’t an IP other than maybe paranormal which I’d be all in on. Alien could be a dope IP if they have all the various alien types.

[gurnblanston]

I only own and have only played the original, but I'd love to try the other two. The Greek monsters theme really appeals to me, but I could see how it would feel less like a horror game. They need to turn the fan-made Terrified into an official release. More modern day monsters like Freddy, Jason, or Pinhead would be awesome to face off against.

[vladimirimp]

My main issue with Horrified is the balance of the game. We’ve played it many times through and I find it unbalanced against the players. We’ve had success few times and it never felt earned, always just luck.

I would like to know if the second and third versions were better in this regard.
