Step into the chilling world of Horror Cinema Classics, a role-playing game that plunges players into the eerie, neon-lit nightmares of 1980s horror movies.

In this cinematic adventure, players – known as “actors” – embody iconic archetypes of 80’s movies, from monster hunter to warrior priest to mad scientist. They confront The Darkness, an ancient, malevolent force twisting reality and unleashing monstrous terrors with an ultimate purpose shrouded in mystery. With its foundation in the popular Dungeon Crawl Classics game engine,

Horror Cinema Classics challenges actors to hold back The Darkness while battling to preserve their humanity. 

Will you be the one to rewrite the script—or fall victim to the horrors waiting in the shadows?
