Bad grades are scary, but the Ancients are much worse
Get ready to live the nightmare of '90s adolescence blended with pure Lovecraftian dread!

"The Halloween Party" is an intense standalone adventure for the High School Cthulhu role-playing game, published by Gear Games.
Set in the (mis)charming coastal town of Innsmouth, you and your friends play the Students of Saint John’s High School. Your biggest worries usually revolve around maintaining good grades, winning the big football game, and, most crucially, scoring an invitation to Quentin’s exclusive Halloween party. Failing to get into the party is social suicide! But just as the typical teen drama—complete with rivalries, crushing, and teasing—reaches its peak, the party gets permanently ruined. A forbidden secret is unearthed from Innsmouth's dark past, transforming a night of celebration into the most terrifying night Innsmouth has ever known. What begins as classic '90s teen angst quickly spirals into cosmic horror, forcing you to face something ancient, something unspeakable, and something truly mind-shattering.

This adventure is perfect to play with your friends during Halloween night (starting Tuesday, October 28, and culminating on the 31st)! Your goal is simple: survive the supernatural horrors, try not to lose your sanity, and maybe, just maybe, make it to the final bell. Piece of cake, right?

Content Warning: Be advised that while the tone is often fun and irreverent, the game tackles heavy subjects central to Lovecraftian horror, such as the fragility of sanity. This adventure also contains a mention of possible non-consensual sexual intercourse prompted by a supernatural entity, though the event is prevented by the plot.
