The year is 1986. The town is Tall Oaks. The situation is dire, as killers inspired by horror movie villains are slashing their way through the town's population. This isn't the synopsis for a long-lost horror flick from the ’80s—it's instead the basis for a new board game called Mixtape Massacre. Immersed in the era when Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger ruled the big screens, Mixtape Massacre is on the verge of coming to life via its current Kickstarter campaign.

Mixtape Massacre is currently 93% funded, with over $18,500 raised of its overall $20,000 goal. To learn more, visit:

Press Release -- "Washington, DC — April 25, 2015. Bright Light Media’s latest project, Mixtape Massacre, is a tabletop board game where up to 6 people play as horror film archetypes and compete in a fictional 1986 killing spree to be remembered.

Players travel the streets of Tall Oaks visiting different town locations, vying for a chance to draw a card from the Killer Scenes, Dude deck (cards decorated like VHS tapes of old), providing an opportunity to slay victims and collect souvenirs. Claim your prize by rolling the action dice, marked in knives, fists, and pentagrams to the amount required on your card.

Along the way, take your chances with the Bonus Tracks cards (decorated like your favorite dusty mixtape) or engage in Brawls, where players can battle it out and eliminate one another from the game.

To win the game, be the first to rack up a body count of 10 or be the last player left alive.

With tons of jokes and references to all of your favorite 1980's music, films, and pop-culture icons - Mixtape Massacre will have you laughing while you’re slashing!

A Kickstarter campaign for the game is live and the project has currently achieved 76% of its funding goal with 12 days left. The Kickstarter offers an assortment of rewards, as well as some killer stretch goals to enhance the game’s playing experience.
