## Description
Get your heart ready (and grab your popcorn), because Halloween night in 1986 just got a whole lot spookier! Picture this: a film festival is in full swing during a massive thunderstorm when, suddenly, lightning strikes. The result? A power surge that releases a century's worth of cinematic monsters directly from the silver screen into the real world. And the best part? You are one of those monsters! In Spooktacular, your mission is to wreak absolute havoc, scaring and devouring unsuspecting moviegoers to prove you are the most terrifying creature in cinema history.

The game offers massive replayability with twenty different monsters to choose from. The real magic lies in the fact that each monster comes with its own unique player board and special abilities, meaning your strategy will shift completely depending on your character. The rules are straightforward and easy to pick up, with most essential info printed right on your monster board—no more flipping through massive rulebooks mid-game! During your turns, you'll manage cards, move through the theater, interact with guests, and unleash unique powers to rack up points.
The game is a frantic race to the finish: it ends the moment a player hits 50 points or when the theater runs out of tickets. In the end, the player who has caused the most terror (and collected the most points) wins. If you love retro horror movie vibes, area movement, and a game that keeps the pace moving, Spooktacular is your perfect pick for a themed game night!
