If it was possible it would be fun to have a 80's version of the game. Of course for the Monsters it could be Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Chucky, Pennywise and Cenobites. But it would be really amusing to have a Humoristic version of the game where the Monsters are. Elvira, Killer Tomatoes, Beetlejuice, Gremlins, Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. The playable characters could be Weird Al" Yankovic, Ash Williams, Vanilla Ice, Bill & Ted, The Goonies, Cyndi Lauper and 80's Jeff Goldblum

[@rebeccascavello5607]

That would be awesome!

[@arkinyte13]

Get a job at the company that makes Horrified and pitch that idea.

[@dennou2012]

Mail them

[@grog3514]

Believe it or not, it already exists. The game is called terrified but it's really hard to find. It includes Pennywise, Leatherface, Ghostface, Chucky, Michael, Jason and Freddy.

[@ericr5306]

@@grog3514 its not an official game though. someone made a custom game for themself so it really doesnt exist

[@prosperohall9551]

Thank you for the video of our game, Becca and Geek & Sundry!

[@joelevillegas]

It is incredible how they have managed to summarize the rules so clearly and in such a short time, I really congratulate them ❤

[@cheechorito628]

Played my first round of this game tonight and me and my friends all really liked it. Working together to find ways to stop the monsters is a lot of fun!

[@krissyk6441]

Looking for the actual playthrough, can't wait

[@hugosandoval1836]

Just bought this game today. Will be painting the minis haha, and I REALLY wanna play after watching this!!!

[@juliankuhn5990]

can't wait to see your playthrough of this!

[@MB-ux5tx]

Caught an error: At 4:27 you say, "Draw a number of items from the item bag, equal to the number up top. Start them at their starting locations," but you placed villagers -- not items. Awesome video!

[@trollslayer2116]

Yeah that messed with me I had to hit the back button several times.

[@iamnoviceelaine4080]

Bought, can’t wait to play with our friends on 9/14/19. Thank you for the walk through. Ps. Now I want to watch Monster Squad and Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein. ❤️❤️❤️

[@greenlee7smythe]

Becca, I LOVE the way you explain the rules of the games this is my first video to watch as I wanted to explain to my niece and nephew how to play. Very thorough, to the point, and with a little bit of humor that made me chuckle. You have a natural ability to explain things. Love it! You didn’t leave out a single thing! A++++!!! ❤

[@scottheath3572]

They’re on the mats. They’re on the monster mats.

[@wellesradio]

Scott Heath haha, when I opened the box and read that in the instruction book, I instinctively made the same joke!

[@brentgarlick9605]

That is so funny thanks for the laugh.

[@ginjago]

LOVE this....and also love Horrified, which I can't stop playing. It's probably the most addictive solo game I've come across for ages and works just as well on your own as with friends. I've tried to incorporate it into my coffee shop playthroughs, but it's tough keeping all the pieces on the table and when there's three of you playing it's actual CHAOS. :-)

[@kylefrank638]

I appreciate the usage of Swan Lake/Dracula's opening music for the background

[@Aeternuss]

Horrified is one the best board game that me and my girlfriend love to play again and again. We have played so much that we would like to see an expansion. It would be cool to see an expansion with The Phantom of the Opera, The Golem, Dr. Jekyll, Dr. Caligari and The Man in the Beaver Hat from London After Midnight. Of course it would be interesting to see also an expansion where you could play as Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Peter Lorre. It could also be an expansion about Vincent Price movies or Alfred Hitchcock movies and without a doubt H. P. Lovecraft universe. I also think it would be cool to see a classic Sci-Fi expansion. Like The Blob, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Fly, The Thing from Another World. I really hope somebody from Ravensburger will read my comment

[@brentgarlick9605]

You know what else would be cool maybe an expansion with 80s slasher monsters Freddy Jason Leatherface chucky Michael Meyers and Pinhead.

[@authenticlimeflavor432]

So it’s kinda like arkham horror lite? I can dig it

[@marinaherrero2833]

So hyped for this game!

[@MtgVGandBGFan]

Like La Forza Del Destino playing in the background, good choice!

[@prosperohall9551]

Sounds pretty epic, right?!

[@stogrady]

Awesome How To Play! Thanks!

I second that motion

[@mister_scott]

Ditto. Newer games have gotten play through since this went up.

[@WardNightstone]

Glad i got this now seems like a good coop game

[@paulgibbons2320]

We played this. It's not too bad. Nice idea.

[@edwindrood2816]

This sounds fun!!

[@shanewilliams9122]

Thanks for the video. Game is fun. Love you used Swan Lake, Op.20 (1877), since that was used during the opening credits of The Mummy (1932).

[@Ronindennis]

It was used on nearly every early Universal monster film. ;-)

[@palazzo1113]

I absolutely love this game. AND YOU CAN PLAY IT ALONE WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE A PSYCHO.

[@harrisonbanon9552]

Play Disney Villainous: Evil Comes Prepared

[@elliotfong5061]

And Despicable plots..

thx Becca for not mishandling german and pronouncing Ravensburger like raven`s burger.

[@joannaleiserson9120]

For anyone else who was curious, music is the theme from "Swan Lake."

[@saraf289]

AKA, the credits theme from the 1931 Dracula. Lovely touch.

[@alexkoder1982]

Looks like fun. Kind of wish it was Dracula and Wolfman though

[@armchairdan]

Both of those are also in the game.

[@lhuynh80]

So at 4:30 the first part of the monster phase when resolving from top to bottom aren’t 2 items tokens supposed to be drawn from the bag and placed on the board, not 2 villagers??

[@35raksO]

Yeah they messed up. You only place villagers when a monsters card says so

[@35raksO]

The number on top in for items since you need those to progress the game

[@AdamYJ]

Hey, if this game is popular, maybe they'll release an expansion based on the more obscure movies like Man Made Monster, The Mad Ghoul, Captive Wild Woman and House of Horrors. They could call it Horrified: B-Reel.

[@arkinyte13]

Don’t forget the mole people, the metaluna mutants and the daughter of Dracula.

[@AnimeCanuck]

Hey, is TableTop or Titan's Grave ever coming back to KZbin? I'm missing Co-Optitude and other Felicia Day antics too. Also, Escape was pretty fun.

[@krhshurdler10]

Considering Wil is suing Geek & Sundry, I'd guess no

[@reapcurse]

Soo when it comes to taking it In turns, Silly question but does it go like this Player Monster Player Monster ? If it’s played with 5 players, kinda limited the amount of turns with the monster phase if that’s the case

[@andreamifuma]

Brava come sempre

[@mikeslash1990]

I already bought it, it's a very fun game

[@solcorvinusoftiktok9907]

😲😲😲😍😍😍I want this so bad

[@steventurner6902]

I have a rule question… If you land on a space at the end of your turn and as the other players take their turns an object is loaded onto your space does it cost you a move to pick it up at the start of your next turn?

[@jasonscherf2536]

What is the soundtrack playing in the background? its fantastic!

[@angelsantos7478]

Jason Scherf Rachmaninoff, Piano Concert

[@johnglass7383]

I think it's Black Swan, by Tchaikovsky

[@simonwoodgate4446]

For anyone confused or distracted, Universal used Swan lake as the main title for Dracula, The Mummy and Murders in the rue morgue. Not always a great fit imho.

[@Turquoise_Starlight]

I plan on buying this but disappointed there isn't a Game The Game for it. Same thing with The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 board game you did a How To Play ages ago for. Never got a Game The Game.

[@Star-vt8er]

You should play Mansion of Madness

[@AnimeLover930]

So does the monster only hit if it’s frenzy or any monster that shares a space?

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Found the music mix a bit loud but great video nonetheless!

[@adambutton9425]

When is this coming to the uk?

[@michalpinkney4049]

Not sure but just bought it on the Amazon US with posting it was £45

[@adambutton9425]

Michal Pinkney yeah, I think that is the only way to get it.

[@jdanger9581]

Great concept, but is the hero/monster turn based system poorly designed? There's only 30 monster cards and once they run out, game over. So, 1-5 players get 30 turns to defeat up to 4 monsters and their pre-reqs? Dracula alone requires min five turns (four coffins + him) and that isn't including movement. Am I missing something???

[@johnnyhoang4444]

Just played. We played on the easiest difficultly and it was still challenging. We play a lot of board games (competitive and co-op) and are above average in our play. I will have to go through the rule book to see if we were playing it correctly.

[@Wetmilk64]

What if the monster moves but no villager or hero are in the space, do they still roll the attack dice?

[@HickLif3]

Nope, they just stop

[@BenjaminIMeszaros]

Play the Shipwreck Arcana!

No. The only correct choices were the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Mummy. I am disappointed.

Anyone else receive a Wolf Man fresh out the box missing his left hand?

[@jsv438]

4:27 - I thought the rules said--and as you stated here--that you're supposed to "remove the same number of ITEMS from the ITEMS bag". You chose "2 VILLAGERS" and placed them on the board. Do VILLAGERS count as ITEMS? Sorry, I'm just confused. The rule book says "items from the item bag" so we've ONLY been taking out items from the bag. The ONLY time we've been placing villagers on the board is when the monster card indicates to do so. Is this an error in the video here, or have we not understood the description of that action in the rule book? Thanks! ~JSV OK there's another one, lol sorry! 5:40 - If the HERO takes ONLY ONE HIT they're defeated? I thought only villagers were defeated by ONE HIT? HEROES suffering a THREE hit from the dice, when ONLY holding TWO ITEMS, would then be hit ONCE and thus defeated. Is THAT CORRECT? Now you mentioned a HERO taking ONE HIT, but removed a villager from the board. Was that just an example and doesn't matter? i.e., we all know that a villager OR a hero suffering ONE HIT is defeated, but the HERO has the option of fending-off the the hit count by discarding items, correct? Thanks again! ~JSV OK, OK, ONE more promise! I didn't see this in the rule book, must've missed it. So when it's time for the "monster phase" and all the monster cards have already been played, the villagers and the heroes LOOSE? I think I got that right. Did I? Thanks again, and again!!! ~JSV
