HALLOWEEN, 1996... It has been ten years since the "Spooktacular Event" passed into urban legend. On the tenth anniversary of that terrible night, horror enthusiasts gather at the old cinema to rewatch new and old classics, confident that nothing could possibly go wrong. However, the theater was also built on the site of a demonic leyline, and tonight, the planets have converged, and dark entities from beyond space and time have broken into this world, channeling the designs of these horror classics to give themselves form! This expansion add 10 monsters to the base game. No new maps or other changes to the base game; just more monster fun! -description from designer
