Atmosfear - The Harbingers

Anyone else remember this game? (VHS board game)



Bud brought it down from the loft today. In the game you have to write down your fears and put it in this little cauldren thing, so I was expecting to see my fears but they weren't there! As if the game isn't spooky enough without a list of your fears disappearing!

I remember I always used to be "Hellin the Poltergeist", she looks like this:


I was always scared of this game, and quite rightly! The guy on the video who tells you what to do is scary as hell and I didn't enjoy writing down the word "spiders" to put in the cauldren.

When I looked through the whole box today (for the first time in probably 10 years!) I realized, you know what? This game isn't for children! (even though I played it as an 8yr old). For instance, here is the description of the character I would always choose:

Yes, that's right. Quote, "Hellin was an infant trouble-maker who once threw a temper tantrum so violent, it caused an aneurysm in her brain and she died." I do remember wondering if that could actually happen and being scared it would happen to me!

Ahh, anyway...the good old days...pretending you are a dead infant who throws things around the room :D

Well, we only have 2 VHS board games, so it's either play this or play "A Klingon Challenge"



You have no idea how many times I experienced bij. Even when I wasn't playing the game...I would experience BIJ.
