When I first read the preview of STAP in #138 "Here There Be Monsters" sounded a bit like "Predator" to me, and I believe James Jacobs said as much in a post on this board when I asked about it. Now that I read it through, though it sounds more like "The Blair Witch Project." The wierd little trophies that Olangru leaves for the PC's to find, the sense of escalating terror until one of the team is kidnapped, etc... Having just watched Blair Witch again last night I am gonna have a hard time waiting to run HTBM!

Anyone else notice the similarities and thought of any cool ways to use this element of it?

You could let the players watch The Grudge, then have Olangru pop up while they sleep and make THAT noise :)

Seriously though - check out the Black Bards post HERE for a few nice touches.

When writing the adventure, I was told to make it a cross between Predator and Lost (if I recall correctly). The end result certainly had a touch of Blair Witch in it.. which I think mixes nicely with the theme.

Yeah, Black Bard had some awesome ideas that I will certainly steal.

Jason, I'm a big fan of Predator (so is most everyone in my group) and have watched it several times. Blair Witch is a favorite as well. However I don't watch Lost (though I may someday.) What are some elements that it has that would be good to include, in a general sense?
