Let’s Play D&D with Every Halloween Horror Monster We Can Think Of
No matter what kind of horror session you have in mind for your players this Halloween season, we have a monster sheet for you.
Over the years we’ve written quite a few D&D character and monster sheets. And that means that we have a pretty decent list of spooky, seasonally appropriate Halloween and horror movie monsters. So if you’re looking for a famous monster to torment your loved ones with at your next gaming session, or even if you’re looking for a bit of inspiration, hopefully, these baddies will make your next game goodie
The Slasher
This is such a huge genre that we’ve actually covered it a few times. If you’d like something a bit more generic for your own legally distinct slasher film-inspired game, this sheet will have you covered. Plus it comes with a bonus ‘monster bait’ level one human character for one of your unsuspecting players.
Of course, we couldn’t forget about some of the most iconic and specific characters of the genre. This Leatherface sheet comes complete with his chainsaw- which took more time and consideration than you may think.
Next up, Pinhead also got his own sheet. But perhaps more importantly, the Lament Configuration is also there for all of your infernal puzzle box needs. What will it summon in your game? Nothing good, I’m sure.
The Halloween series will likely never end, and I don’t know if we’d have it any other way. So why not inflict Michael Myers on your players with this monster sheet?
Finally, Ghostface from the Scream series might be the most recognizable of the big slashers. Which will make introducing him to your party even more funny when they realize exactly what you’re doing.
Ghosties, Ghoulies, and Witches
The Ring is a movie that I have a complex love-hate-terrorized relationship with. But this Samara sheet is easily one of my favorites. If you’re looking to run a horror game, she literally weaponizes fear.
We all float down here with this Pennywise monster sheet. Between the Dead Lights and Shifting Reality, this is definitely a monster that belongs in a world of magic as opposed to middle-of-nowhere, Maine. But New England is no stranger to Eldritch Horrors.
There’s a good chance that the incompetence of the Sanderson Sisters will lead to their own downfall. But up before that happens an encounter with them would undoubtedly make for a pretty fun game session. This may just be more of a warm-up for your players before they meet something truly terrifying.
Aliens
While some of the Doctor Who monsters are kitschy and corny, others are just plain terrifying. The Daleks are pretty fun, but the Weeping Angels? Nightmare fuel. But they’re also nightmare fuel that we encourage you to present to your players. And you don’t even need the excuse of Halloween to add these monsters to your next session; the Weeping Angels feel like D&D creatures, and thanks to Spelljammer‘s reintroduction, you don’t need a reason to bring aliens and spacecraft to your fantasy setting.
Which is good news for the Predator. Faerun is downright full of dangerous game for a Yautja to hunt, and your party may just be the most dangerous game.
Happy adventuring!
