Horror Rules
Cheesy horror came to mind when I saw Horror Rules. Something with Bruce Campbell (early years) or some Scream Queen was all that I could think about. There are two ways to run a good horror game and I think they are equally fun. There is the serious and brooding game with mood lighting, candles and occasional spookie sound effects. These are fun in one-nighters, simply because the mood can’t be kept more than one or two nights, and are good with the right people. The other kind is good for one night when you don’t have anything else to do and you want to goof around and run around like Scooby Doo. Horror Rules is like the latter.
