The players are the cast and crew of a terrible paranormal investigation show on the verge of cancellation. The good news is you’ve secured the rights to film the season finale in “the most haunted location in America.” The bad news is the place is actually really haunted, and you may well be \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecompletely boned\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs loud, campy reality TV stars, your gift for melodrama will be all you need to wake the dead – and may well be your key to survival once the haunting goes sideways. If it doesn’t get you killed first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, you play some of the worst people on earth as they blithely walk into one of the worst places on earth, and most of you won't survive.

All those ghastly Features of the Haunt will come to life and work against them, and as the Ghost picks its targets, the Crew can decide to take the hit -- or throw someone else under the bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all, you're not here to make friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKiller Ratings cover art by \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/hauntedfire.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"origin\"\u003eBenjamin Hall\u003c\/a\u003e.
