    I was Nemesis Kickstarter (or late pledge). One major misconception about the noise roll is not that the noise isn't necessarily from you but rather you heard a noise from that direction (i.e. the Aliens are potentially making the noise). The logic of the noise rolls and how it works in various scenarios aligns better with this thought as well.

    Excellent! Love the list and the Dracula skit. I really like ZDOA and My Father's Work. I also have Horrified, which is a nice lightweight one. Looking forward to picking up one of the Nemesis games during their upcoming campaign. I also really like the new Resident Evil, and a top favorite of mine has always been Cthulu: Death May Die. Oh yeah, and I also like Rise of Moloch (that one has zombies too). Happy Halloween!

Another I have and enjoy is Abomination: The Heir of Frankenstein by Plaid Hat Games. Seams like not a lot of people really know this one.

    @@TheDiscriminatingGamer it is made by same guys as Zombicide and is frankly more like Zombicide than Mansions of Madness or Eldritch Horror. It is a dice roller game with some RPG elements for characters and mission elements to complete ritual. What makes it interesting is the customization of levels, bosses, and characters making each experience fresh.

    I think your honorable mentions are better than some of the games on your list (Betrayal, Nemesis, Zombicide) but overall not too bad. You should try Escape From the Aliens in Outer Space for a game that can create a tense, horror-like atmosphere.

    Like your list a lot on it I would like to try. I can only comment on what I have played Letters I have 1983's Jack the Ripper which looks like Letters is a upgraded version. Betrayal I wanted it wheb it 1st came out. I did get the 2nd Edition and expansion. L Aliens game I did not know if you were going to include that game as Horror or not. It being Sci-Fi. Fury of Dracula I bought the 1st Edition. Then I bought the 3rd Edition and made some solitaire rules. Here are some I like When Darkness Comes, Nightfall, Monsters Ravage America, Last Night On Earth, Godzilla: Kaiju Wars, Elder Sign and A Touch Of Evil.

    Fury of Dracula is really exciting and a great length. Have you played Jaws? It is pretty dull and slow, and not much of a challenge. It is inferior to Fury of Dracula, for sure. Zombicide is a nice little challenge and such a fun game for fun people. I do question your list, though. I hope that in the future we will get to see more of what you actually like and not your incessant pandering to me. C'mon now, Cody. I wanna' know what YOU like and think! Come on! :p P.S. The Count (Dracula) was brilliant. I mean - Wow! The number of times I giggled... 🤪

    @@TheDiscriminatingGamer Well I didn't play as many games as you have so I don't have a full list of 10 games for horror. My list would have some of your games in addition to Kingdom Death: Monster, Tainted Grail, and Shadow Hunters. I haven't tried all the H.P. Lovecraft type of games yet, so I would like to see some more reviews on those games before I buy them since there is a bunch of them. Some of them were very disappointing (being too slow, too mechanical, too boring). I like the art work in Cave Evil board game, but I haven't had the the chance to play that game either.
