Out-there Hell: C3G's Little Workshop of Horrors

[toyhandle]

I would love Pennywise to be in the game, but I hate to be the one to ask, is he in any comics? I know Ghost Face's lack of comic appearances is keeping him out of the game. Comic Vine doesn't seem to show much.

No worries. I proposed a vote to make an exception for them(+ Hannibal) based on what they do have, art options(to match the aesthetic), and their noticeable absence from the Slasher/Tormentor faction. As it stands, it's about 1 vote remaining, is on track to pass.

Currently planning to do Ghostface, Sadako, Pennywise, Herbert West, and the Creeper.

Maybe we can get around to the complete Terrordrome roster. Candyman, Maniac Cop, etc.

What about Patrick Bateman?

For Norman Bates, Psycho had a comic adaptation in 1992. Hard to find images of it online. Has to use The Wayback Machine to go through the13thfloor.tv for an old article about it. Here are the three highest-res images I could find:

Spoiler Alert!

I like the iconic shower shot, which also has the most image margin to work with.

Heritage Auctions might have higher res images, but you need an account with the site to access them.

Just to clarify, “exceptions” being the key word there. I don’t want to imply the floodgates are open for anyone and everyone regardless of comic status. The chosen 3 were because of their iconic status. Maniac Cop or Patrick Bateman, for example, I don’t think are worth bending the rule for nor would I want to aim to ask for a glass of milk after being given a cookie, so to speak.

Norman Bates seems plausible based on those images.

Gremlins


Beetlejuice


So wikipedia says Candyman got a comic when the original came out, but even with some digging I can't find it

Also it'd be kinda funny to see the Mystery Gang go after the slashers

They've probably had more crossovers than anything else in C3G

[IAmBatman]

I legit, no lie, want the Scooby Gang in as Investigators with Scooby as a Companion. Are those minis available and in the right scale?

[Arch-vile]

I'd love to see the Scooby gang! Not sure what to do for minis. I'm guessing those are custom minis above since the Betrayal Scooby game just has cardboard standees.

If you're interested here were my random ideas for the group. Never got very far with my brainstorms. I think they're going to be tricky figures to include in C3G since none of them are fighters in any way.

Someone posted this great idea:
“And I'm a fan of the Scooby gang. I could see them having a fun "Unmasking" power, where something like "unmasked" characters lose their alter-ego, and can no longer use any power that refers to that card's non-SI.”

[Splash]

Awesome!
They are available, but expensive, from the Scooby Doo Train set circa de 1999.
Cheapest on ebay is like a $30 bid or best offer.
There are like 10 more for 50-60 bucks.

I've played Betrayal at House on the Hill, I'm pretty sure those minis are close, if I remember right it was a bit ago.
Someone here breaks down a lot of options, but I think these are the only Scape scale ones.

[Splash]

SirG says regular Betrayal minis are smaller, but the Gang might still work considering they are teenagers and slightly bigger than the Betrayal minis.

Also make sure not to get Betrayal at the Mystery Mansion, that one only has cardboard stands.

Candyman and American Psycho feel a little weird to me cause those films aren't built off the easy cheesy fun that franchises like Friday the 13th or Elm Street are. Could always be convinced by the right draft though. American Psycho is like...my favorite movie.

Would love Scooby Gang as well. I feel like Fred's Split Up should definitely mainly work on figures that aren't close together though, lol.
