A Heist Job Like None Other

In Shadows on the Highway, players take on the roles of five desperate individuals navigating troubled lives in the remote wilderness of Wyoming.

The Looting of South American Heritage

At the peak of its power, E.L. International, under the command of Mr. Elwood Lowell, scoured the depths of the South American Amazon. The company unearthed priceless artifacts from ancient Amazonian jungles, all of which were looted to fill Lowell’s vast collection.

A Home with a History

Nestled between the rolling desert hills of western Wyoming, the Lowell Estate has remained silent for decades. Once known as the estate of reclusive mining magnate Ernest Lowell, it now sits as a relic, hiding secrets within its walls.

A Job with a Complication

As dusk falls on October 11th, 1987, a dark-tinted sedan hauls northward along Highway 189. The occupant’s destination is clear: a looming manor, cloaked in shadow, waiting to reveal its twisted history.

Shadows on the Highway is a published micro-module under the Splatterhaus label. An entire setting — people, places, and a threat — packed into a front-and-back flyer.

Splatterhaus

Splatterhaus is a thrilling homage to the wild and over-the-top horror of the 1980s, capturing the essence of the era’s iconic slasher films and creature features. It revels in the darkly comic and gleefully grotesque, offering a vivid mix of blood-soaked mayhem and outlandish monsters that are as terrifying as they are absurd.

Splatterhaus isn’t just a game; it’s an experience, packed with one-shot flyers that plunge players into distinct, horrifying settings and dramatic set pieces designed to keep everyone on edge. It also includes immersive handouts and carefully crafted audiovisual elements that bring the chilling atmosphere to life, enhancing the tension and drama around the table.

Whether you’re looking for a quick, spine-tingling session or an unforgettable night of horror, Splatterhaus delivers with style, flair, and a hearty dose of ’80s nostalgia.
