Hey, we are having a Halloween party at my house and I thought it would be a nice idea to take all the gamers to the loft and play werewolf/Mafia and some other Halloweeny games. Preferably board games, rpg's are nice but I need to learn the rules. I am thinking of getting Chaos In the Old World.

Does anyone know any good horror themed board games or simple rpgs?

Get Zombies! from http://www.twilightcreationsinc.com/zombies2/

Buy it from Warstore or your local. Feels like any of the Living Dead movies.

If you like the Evil Dead movies, get Zombies! 4: The End.

Also, check out the D6 Generation Podcast for many party/non-gamer games. http://www.thed6generation.com/

Games that I have tried w/ my group are:

Munchkin (An addiction in my group, everyone has bought a different set. We mix and match everytime we play)

Cutthroat Caverns (Phenomenal Game, handles 3-6)

Wings of War (plays 3 or four out of the box, but can easily add more with a couple expansion packs)

Descent (good for regular groups of 2-5, not so much for a one off party)

Ah, thanks I listen to the D6G, really good for party games, that's where I got werewolf from. Might have a look at their site for ideas but I might get Arkham Horror or try out an RPG if I can learn the rules quick enough

The Last Night on Earth should be a good Halloween Zombie game.

check this website out:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com

You will find alot of known and unknown games on here that will work for your party.

Ooh, that site's really good, nice selection. Does anyone know of any simple but fun Horror RPG's?

Cut the lights and eliminate the guests, one by one. After each elimination, turn the lights back on.

Make sure to seal all the exits.

Great fun at any Halloween party!

edit: OH wait, you're already playing werewolf.

Yea, great game, never tried it before but it seems easy to GM
