HWA Launches Official Card Game

The HWA is pleased to announce an exciting new partnership!

An officially-licensed party game called “Sudden Acts of Horror”  – coming in 2024 – aims to celebrate the Horror Writers Association, the oldest and most respected professional nonprofit organization in the horror genre. The game asks teams of players to act out made-up horror novel titles to score the highest points and ultimately win a mini–Bram Stoker Award® for their efforts.

The game’s publisher, Stop The Killer Games, has become a recent leader in horror-themed games for beloved slasher films such as HALLOWEEN II, MY BLOODY VALENTINE and SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT. “Sudden Acts of Horror” is their first partnership with a prestigious literary organization.

Maxwell I. Gold, Executive Director of the HWA, says, “We’re pleased to embark on this partnership with Stop the Killer Games finding new ways to celebrate horror through games.”

“We are howling at the moon in excitement over developing and bringing to market this charades-style game, which rewards creativity and ambition,” says Anthony Masi, owner of Stop The Killer Games. “This is a game for anyone who loves the horror genre and wants to have a bloody good time with a group of friends.”

“Sudden Acts of Horror” is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2024 and will be available for purchase at www.stopthekiller.com.
