We just finished-up an incredibly fun five-session run of Michael Sands’s Monster of the Week. I really grew to love these characters, and I can’t wait to revisit them in February.
In the meantime, based off the following descriptions, see if you can guess the 1980’s movie that inspired each session:
Session 1 & 2 – A Chinese sorcerer-demon teams up with some Triad storm wizards to complete a ritual that will allow him to re-enter our realm.
Session 3 – An irresistibly delicious (and low-calorie!) ice cream treat called The Dream is actually a body-snatching alien organism.
Session 4 – A strange dimensional traveler in the form of a really tall mortician is building an undead army.
Session 5 – In the basement of the Santa Juanita Mission, a group of professors is doing research on a glass cylinder filled with a liquid that turns out to be Satan.
Thanks to all my awesome players: Willow Palecek David LaFreniere Russell Benner Daniel Fowler and Kyle McCauley

To be fair, one of the movies was actually released in 1979, but is from a series of movies associated with the 1980s.
