The
HorrorClix game is similar to HeroClix, HorrorClix offers players the
ability to construct teams of monsters that cross horror genres, allowing
them to create a "dream team" of favorite characters. Vampires,
werewolves, zombies, and demons are available in the game's first release,
as well as a number of vigilantes who fight for the side of good including
a vampire hunter, ghost finders, priests and military men.
HorrorClix introduces several new game mechanics. Plot twist cards, scenario play, fiction, and individual character cards for each monster place the game's emphasis firmly on the fantasy of writing or directing a horror story rather than a game of fighting and combat. Innocent victims play an important part of the game, with monsters protecting them, eating them, or both.
HorrorClix demonstrations and special events have been announced at the Origins game convention in Columbus, Ohio, and for the GenCon game convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. Additionally, WizKids announced at GAMA trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada that Cthulhu would be the premiere figure for the launch of the game

"Rise of Cthuhlu" At the proper time, the secret priests would
take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His
rule of earth.... "Then mankind would have become as the Great Old
Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown
aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the
liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel
and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of
ecstasy and freedom. " - H.P.Lovecraft
