The game is controlled using a VHS video tape and is a race against time and the gatekeeper. One player answers the gatekeeper, rolls the dice and moves a playing piece, while the other players guard their gravestones, toss a coin and activate the time and fate cards. Once started you cannot pause or rewind the tape. The gatekeeper considers it cheating and wins the game by default.

Collect your character's keys and then race to the centre of the board, the nightmare square. You must land on the nightmare square by an exact roll. On further turns, you must roll a 6, to take the top nightmare card. If it is not your greatest fear, race to the video player and press stop to win. If the tape reaches 60 minutes, the witch wins. For a theme night, players could dress for the part!

Meet; the gatekeeper (your host), Hellin the poltergeist, Countess Elizabeth Bathory the vampire, Anne de Chantraine the Witch, Khufu the Mummy, Baron Samedi the zombie and Gevaudan the werewolf. Sold as Nightmare in the US.
