Hey folks, here is my latest book from Fat Goblin Games, a set of ten monsters inspired by some of my favorite movies! Just in time for Halloween, these movie menaces are sure to spice up your games!

Movie Monster Matinee

This book was a real labour of love, as I'm a huge fan of creature features and schlock horror flicks of all kinds. If you love horror movies, be sure to check this one out!

Also be sure to have a look at Carnival of Sinners. It's pay what you want, so you can check it out for cheap (or even free)!

And if you like Movie Monster Matinee, consider having a look at Mindblast! Classic Monsters Augmented. It contains everything you need to add a few variant monsters to your Pathfinder games using the psionic rules from Dreamscarred Press. The book has everything you need to run these foes, even if you're new to Psionics, so it's great if you're looking for a taste of Psionics, or maybe looking for something to add to your Occult Adventures play tests!


I realized there isn't a list of contents for this book. The 10 monsters are as follows (with their inspiration):

Aquamonstrosity (Creature from the Black Lagoon, with a nod to A-Team)
Carnivorous Mantrap (Little Shop of Horrors)
Grey Invader (Mars Attacks)
Jungle Predator (Predator)
Killer Clown (Stephen King’s It)
Night Terror (Pitch Black)
Nightmare Stalker (A Nightmare on Elm Street)
Shark Tornado (Sharknado)
Snatchoid (Tremors)
Unstoppable Maniac (Friday the 13th/Halloween)


And this is now available in print! Also, the pdf is still at +40% of its regular price for a few more days, so if you love it and have a little extra to give, it's a great time to show support. On Monday the pdf will return to its normal price, never fear!


I got this a while back, really good book.

Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked it!


My print copy came in the mail today. Fantastic book! I hope you do a sequel! Can't wait to use this in my Campaign!!!


Like the source material that inspired it, I'm sure this will spawn I'll-conceived sequels at some point...

Of course there will- you "forgot" cyborg Jason :).

My print copy should be arriving any day now.


I would be entirely alright with this.

Could we mayhaps make requests for which monsters we would like to see in such a sequel?


Absolutely feel free to make requests, but I will lean heavily on the movies I know (and generally know well). If there's something on the list that has slipped my mind, I'd definitely love to be reminded. And maybe I'll find a new favorite movie for my collection!


As it happens, I will do you one better than make a request. I just got done stating up a monster. I PMed it to you (I would have sent it via email, but it doesn't seem like Paizo has emails on here).

Sorry if that's too forward. Its just I was hit by inspiration and wanted to stat something up real quick.

Anyways, its called the Voludaemon, and its based on the Wishmaster movies.


Thanks for the interest, but I certainly can't just take unsolicited stat blocks. I don't want to get my publisher (or me) in any kind of legal dispute quagmire.

I've actually never seen the Wishmaster movies, so I'll have to check them out!


Okay I understand.

In any case, as for requests:

The Hobgoblins from Hobgoblins

Something resembling Toxie from the Toxic Crusader

The killer mirror from Oculus

Something resembling Sadako/Samara from the ring.


I thoroughly enjoyed this product through and through. I can't wait to unleash some of these beasties on my unsuspecting PCs. Kudos for going full r-word and including Sharknado!


Sharknado might be my legacy. It was an exercise in trying to see how many times I could break the rules, while following the rules...


I actually mentioned the sharknado when I made a thread about this product on rpg.net. At least two people were like "sold!"

The Sharknado was my favorite! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

For the Nightmare Stalker, I swapped out the war razor for an individual cat claw looking spiked gauntlet.

This is really cool, and well worth the money. I too would like to see a sequel.

For horror movies, I'd say take inspirations from: Gremlins, Christine, Cujo, Child's Play, Jaws, Hellraiser, Ring, Aliens, The Descent, The Fly, Halloween, The Day of the Triffids, Pumpkinhead, The Pack, The Critters, Silent Hill (Pyramid Head), Terminator, Jeepers Creepers, The Brood, The Thing, Candyman, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hatchet, The Omen, Audition, and Trick 'R Treat.

Grand Lodge

Looking it over, mainly because the Predator is one of my absolute favourite iconic monsters, I'd have made these small changes to make it more accurate for its CR (as it is right now, it's a CR 6):
- increase CL to match HD instead of -3 CL. This changes the scorching ray attack to be 2 shots of 4d6, giving the 22 low average damage. (see above for damage.)
- increase to 9 HD to give it 85 HP (Monster Creation Rules say 85 is what a CR 7 monster should have if it doesn't have regen/DR/fast heal). This increases their Last Laugh by 1d6.
- With 9 HD, give Double Slice feat for klar to get full Str (damage needs to average between 22 to 30 a round).
- adamantine star knife for a secondary ranged weapon.
- increase Dex to 19 for Ref 10 and 20 AC (for CR 7 creatures).
- improved invisibility SLA 3/day (predators don't appear after attacking someone)
- Racial Modifiers +4 Stealth

I am curious as to where the +5 armor bonus comes from. Chain shirts are only +4. Also, the DC 18 on its Last Laugh. Is it Con-based?

For Nightmare Creature I would have added the Common language, or Tongues at-will as a succubus. As it is right now, it's talks gibberish to its victims.
