Hi all and thanks so much for your ongoing support to make this campaign truly HORRIBLE! We are pleased to bring you an eerie assortment of creepy clown creatures for your campaign (and if you look ahead to the just-revealed stretch goals, there are even more to come)!
Now I do want to be clear that when we say a creepy clown, we don't just mean a shambling juggalo with a painted face and a bloody knife. We DO have that in here too, but when we come with creepy killer clowns, we are coming with the WHOLE BLEEDING CIRCUS TENT!
Come inside and close your eyes and you will get a BIG SURPRISE!!!
We'd love to shout out Rob J. as backer #250 and Redjack P. for pushing us over the $20,000 mark and unlocking these killer carnies, and we hope you're looking forward to our next stretch goal with special rules for building fearsome fortifications from bone keeps to flesh palaces and ghostly citadels that will chill your heroes to the bone! Plus, expanded new madness rules coming your way too!
Please continue to shout out and share Ultimate Horror with your fellow 5E fans and Pathfinder pals and we look forward to making your horror game truly Legendary!
One week in and now... SPONSORSHIPS!

We're creating a ton of tools and content that WE think will add thrills, chills, and spooky scares to your game, but by adding a Sponsorship you can get in on the fearsome fun too! With the Ultimate Horror project, you add the listed amount to your pledge and choose any of the following, which you'll be able to select in Backerkit!
P.S. If you think it would be easier for me to add these as Kickstarter "Add-Ons," I could do it that way as well. Let me know what you think.
I Heard a Scary Noise ($25): Describe a spooky person, place, or thing (up to 100 words)!
That Old Black Magic ($50): Submit a spooky spell, creepy curse, horrific haunt, terrifying trap, fearsome feat, or macabre magic item for 5E, PF1, or PF2 and we'll convert it for all three systems (up to 200 words)!
That New Black Magic ($100): Get That Old Black Magic, plus beautiful artwork featuring your creation!
The Dark Masquerade ($120): Sponsor a character illustration! Immortalize yourself or your character in goth glory or illustrate a deadly demise! You'll get to see work-in-progress with the artist and give your feedback on the final illustration. In addition, you'll be listed in the credits as a Masquerader!
Things That Go Bump in the Night ($150): Select an existing horror-monster from any published source to the beasts in this book. Bring us a 5E, PF1, or PF2 monster and we'll convert it for all three systems. This pledge includes a haunting illustration to accompany whatever you create, and you'll be listed in that compendium's credits as a Things That Go Bump in the Night!!
Something Wicked This Way Comes ($200)! Design a brand-new monster for inclusion in the Horror Campaign Compendium, including a horrifying illustration of your creature! Your name will be listed in the final compilation as a Wicked Witch (or Warlock if you prefer)!
Something Even Wickeder ($300)! Get Something Wicked This Way Comes, but expand your illustration to a full-scale action scene featuring your monster in their lair and/or messily murdering some hapless goodie-goodies! Your name will be listed in the final compilation as a Witch-King or Witch-Queen!
All Sponsorships with illustrations include a high-res file of your chosen image sent to you!

Thanks to all of you for your sensational support of this project, with special shout-outs to backer #100 Adam E and #200 Rachael, plus sales for Sasha M. for unlocking our first stretch goal with new grotesque gargoyles and Edurne P. for unlocking killer new curses! Each time we pass one stretch goal, we reveal another, and we've got Creepy Castles, Blood and Bone Elementals, and coming up next at $20,000 it's time to Send in the CLOWNS!
We have downloaded the Backer report for the folks who are getting their FREE early bird awards like Fates of Madness and Krampus STLs! There are still Early Bird Wilder & Weirder Bundles available, as those are for the first 50 backers at that level!
We appreciate all that you have done to make this project a reality and look forward to adding even more awesome stuff to this book! Please continue to spread the word to your fellow 5E fans and Pathfinder pals and have a Legendary weekend!
