Blood Orgy in the House of Pain, is a B-movie cult classic in print. It captures the lurid and grotesque; and checks the suspension of disbelief with wit and humor. The NPCs are as nasty as they come, it's the Hills have Eyes and every icky, slasher horror family in the weird old house that you might come across in old VHS tapes. They're so awful, it's almost sad to see them go if the PCs prevail.
The visuals are carefully selected, evoking the horror and humor the author strove to achieve. The digital maps are an excellent visual aid; the house itself is a character of its own. The author wisely made the setting generic for a Storyteller to set it easily in most American cities of the midwest and east coast.
I rated this four stars because I found a few typos and formatting errors; while these are not fatal errors to the product; another edit would have corrected those. Overall, a fun, entertaining product worth the $4.95.
