Notes From the GM:
They Came from Beyond the Grave! is a dramatic, hammy, horrifying tabletop roleplaying game that captures the shock, terror, eroticism, and humor of 1970s horror. This game lets you play with the magnificent content from the movies of Hammer, Amicus, and Roger Corman, and promises the fun and thrills of the horror genre!
