Figured I'd put up a link to discuss this game here. The game is similar to Heroclix in the way it is played, but just a little different in certain areas. You use "horror-like" characters such as a Dire Wolf, Blood Demon, Bane Wolf, Evil Leprechaun, Brine Witch, Headless Horseman, Nosferatu, Scarecrow, Skeletal Zombie, etc. and the gigantic character of the game is Cthulhu. Black Heart knows more about it as he is going to be Astro Citie's official judge on the game. Here is a link to the sites home page: www.wizkidsgames.com/horrorclix/

I seem to recall reading stuff about this on the Fraternity of Shadows site sometime back. I remember they were trying to obtain the necessary licenses to make characters out of the Buffy TV series, as well as several other popular horror-related shows, books, and movies. But I think they ran into some trouble obtaining all the licensing. For Cthulhu and the like, no license is necessary because Lovecraft's works have all fallen into the public domain because he's been dead for so long.

Yes they have no licenses, which many believe spells doom for the longevity of the game, but who knows. They still, however, use characters and just call them different names. For example, the ghost busters are called ghost hunters or something like that.
