Slice & Dice, the deck building strategy game from Horror-Fix creator Ash Hamilton asks the player that very question in a race for the highest body count. The game, which allows the player to choose one of 5 horror archetypes straight from the 80s, is every horror lover’s dream, drawing from popular tropes and movie knowledge to give the ultimate fan the edge in gameplay.

A film version of the game already exists and attempts to remake it has come up in 2011 and 2016 with the projects being abandoned.

CD Review – Midnight Syndicate Creates an Awesome Soundtrack to Zombies!!! The Board Game

Creating a soundtrack for a board game. How exactly does anyone do that? Well, one only needs to point said query to the masterminds/madmen behind Midnight Syndicate – Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka. Their most recent release, ZOMBIES!!! Official Board Game Soundtrack, offers a definitive answer to this question. Back in my D&D (which they have also done an album base on, WOOHOO!), Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun and “roll playing game that a group of us created, but came up with no name for” days, I remember game-play situations taking shape in my mind as if they were scenes in a movie. I imagine that composing music for the elements and situations within this game must have been done in a similar fashion. Then again…maybe that’s not how Douglas and Gozska conceptualized the scoring of ZOMBIES!!!. Seriously, what do I know about composing music in any way, shape or form, let alone composing the way they do? Nothing. What I
