Captain Spaulding vs Art the Clown? Fright-Rags intros killer card game Fright Fights
Fright-Rags has made a big splash in the horror community thanks to its high quality t-shirts featuring licensed art from new and classic horror films. Of course, Fright-Rags also sells other horror merch, such as socks, hats, collectibles, and even boxers. The website includes more than 100 categories of films and horror actors, so odds are you can find all of your favorites there.
Now Fright-Rags is rolling out a “killer” new card game called Fright Fights, and “every battle is to the death!” Players can choose to be the hero or the killer in this fast-paced card game, which features officially licensed renditions of iconic films and characters such as Halloween, Night of the Living Dead, Terrifier, Creepshow, and House of 1000 Corpses.
In Fright Fights, you have to work quickly and keep your wits about you, because your longevity depends on your health score. When it hits zero, it’s game over for you.
The game is touted as easy to learn, but deadly to master, and includes a two player or two versus two team mode. The card decks are both expandable and cross compatible, which means you can enact the horror crossover of your nightmares by combining sets. Captain Spaulding in a fight to the death with Art the Clown? Yes, please!
Fright Fights can be pre-ordered on the website now, and they are expected to ship out sometime in October.
Fright-Rags is a company owned and operated by horror fans
Fright-Rags was founded in 2003 by Ben Scrivens, who is still President of the company. He says the company’s true origins go back to Halloween night in 198, when he was just a little boy. After trick-or-treating, Ben and his family went to the house of some friends for a party. As he was the youngest child there, Ben got bored and sat down to watch tv, where John Carpenter’s Halloween was playing. That was it, he was hooked on the genre for life.
By the time 2003 rolled around, Ben was spending a great deal of time talking to other horror fans, and started to notice all of the great art being circulated; masks, costume pieces, t-shirts and the like. He was by then a graphic designer, and thought it might be interesting to design shirts that featured known horror movies.
Ben invested in his dream, and that dream still lives on 23 years later. Not only is Ben a true horror fan, so are his staff members…it’s truly a company run by people who are passionate about horror.
