5 Horror Movies to Watch That Seem to Have Inspired Duskmourn: House of Horrors cards

With the new Duskmourn set looming ominously around the corner, why not settle down, turn the lights low and get cozy with a couple of the movies that encapsulate what's coming in the new set? Nothing gets the skin crawling and hair standing on end quite like a new Magic set, but we’re certain these movie suggestions are the next best thing! We’ll take a peek at the set and show the haunted history of some sneak peek cards as well which range from slashing horror to comedic thrillers. So settle in, enjoy, and shake off that creeping feeling that someone is peering in through the window behind you…

Evil Dead Rise - Come back Wrong

In a movie all about the dead coming back as an unstoppable ‘Deadite’ force, Come Back Wrong is easily inspired by this supernatural horror. With all the elements you could be seeking, like an ancient concealed chamber, a haunted book and phonographs from 1923, the mystery and horror of this ancient curse only grows. If only we knew how to make the dead come back right next time…

The House on Haunted Hill (1999) - Norin, Swift Survivalist

If you’ve ever considered braving going into an abandoned haunted building, why not whet that same appetite by spelunking into The House on Haunted Hill (1999)? This version is a remake of a movie by the same title from 1959, where two eclectic millionaires challenge the cast to make it through a single night in the haunted house, for the prize of $1 million dollars. What can we learn from this movie? Well, just like the card, Norin, Swift Survivalist, sometimes the best instinct in a haunted house is to run outta there as soon as the vibe is off. And hey, who knows - maybe you’ll find that million dollar check on your way out.

Ghostbusters - Winter, Cynical Opportunist

After some truly horrifying hours of cinema, Ghostbusters is a nice light hearted palette cleanser. And thankfully the new Duskmourn set seems to agree - combining with the 80’s styled elements of the low-tech fantasy of Ghostbusters, Winter, Cynical Opportunist seems to be sporting some clear ghost bustin’ gear. Who ya gonna call on commander night? Winter, Cynical Opportunist, of course!

Friday The 13th - Lakeside Shack

Friday the 13th is a veritable giant of the horror movie genre, so of course the Duskmourn set would not be completed without a reference to it - and the Lakeside Shack by Crystal Lake is an iconic location from the movie. Acting as the location of the secret shrine within the movie, makes this humble writer wonder what horrors could be within, and who would be brave enough to delve inside to find out…

The Haunted Mansion(2003) - Mirror Room//Fractured Mirror

The final movie for our horror round up is The Haunted Mansion (2003)! A classic so beloved, it has a theme park ride tied to it. If you’re seeking crystal balls and ancient spirits, ghostly hauntings and reincarnation for a kitschy cult classic, then look no further. The Mirror Room//Fractured Mirror card shows a myriad of fractured realities, pasts and futures which could and have come true. Which gristle end awaits you, I wonder? Perhaps missing tickets to our first commander party or draft night for the Duskmourn set? Better head on over and secure your tickets now!
