Final days/final Stretch Goal!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Oct 20, 2022 at 07:31:19 AM

3 days left and $10k is in sight!

We're so close to the final $8k stretch goal of additional content added to the Haunted Box #1 that we have to add just ONE more stretch goal to close out the campaign! This one is a throwback to a personal favorite touch that I loved about the old-school Warren Magazine horror comics: the cut-out paper board games! I never DARED cut my precious comic book covers (but I secretly always wanted to!) so we're including this bonus feature as an INSERT! You can choose to cut it up and play the retro game without hurting your copy of The Haunted Box or keep the game in mint condition as part of your official Haunted Box collection!

Please note that our cover artist Damien Torres will be drawing the characters and locations himself, so the above image is for reference only! We're just as excited as you are to see the final product!

(regarding the below: I normally don't share other Kickstarters but the creator of the project below is a friend and the book is just damn good! So check it out!)

 Plainer Jane is the darkly comic story of Jane Pearson, a seemingly ordinary teenage girl who becomes a brutally efficient killer for hire. With no training, no special skills, just her own cunning, brutality, and fearlessness, Jane leaves a trail of bodies behind her, ultimately going head to head with the feared and secretive criminal gang, The Nexus, in a war that could ultimately cost not only her life but the lives of everyone she loves.

Here's one terrifyingly good reason we MUST hit the Black&White&Blood stretch goal of $6500!

Help us get this SICKENINGLY terrifying image of the Blood Queen (along with the rest of the book) colored in BLOOD! Simply share, coerce, harangue, annoy, beg, and/or threaten your friends to pledge to The Haunted Box #1 before the campaign's end! It's within our grasp!

Next stretch goal of $5500 gets all physical reward backers a FREE Haunted Box drink coaster!

SUCCESS! Thank you all!

We owe you guys a couple of announcements - the next milestone and the $8k stretch goal reveal. We just wanted to get this THANK YOU out before we lost sight of what's important - all of YOU!
