The Ghost Shark [ Cryptworld Movie Conversion ]

When a great white eats the potential catch of a fisherman, the fisherman and his daughter violently retaliate by sadistically torturing and killing the shark, whose corpse then sinks to the bottom of an underwater cave and is subsequently resurrected as a ghost shark due to the cave's unique properties. Now hungry for revenge, the ghost shark eats his killers along with the captain of their boat, eventually setting its sights on the rest of the local community in the seaside town of Harmony. Due to the great white's new spectral form, it can attack and kill anyone as long as there is even the smallest amount of water nearby, including swimming pools, baths and showers, puddles, rain, and even a cup of water, killing dozens of people in countless locations. With the mayor and local authorities unwilling to believe in such a state of events, Ava Conte , who is motivated to put an end to the specter after it devours her father and several friends, teams up with a local drunken sea captain named Finch , who claims to know the secrets to the shark's newfound form, to lay the creature to rest once and for  all

Question for the Crypt world community.....

Back in the day, I was part of what was suppose to be the Unisystem apa fanzine; but it did not happen due to conflicts with time, egos and what goes where. I like the idea of a fanzine and would love to see one for the Crypt world game system... is anyone interested? if so, lets start brainstorming this idea and make it happen..

Disembodied Brain [Original Cryptworld]

Disembodied Brain ( B.I.A.J )
[ Brain in a Jar ]
The brain in a jar is a masterpiece of preservation -- but where mortuary preservatives leave off, the unexplained picks up. A disembodied brain is, in truth, an undead creature.
No one knows how or who creates them, but there seems to be one factor in common with each disembodied brain, That is the original owners of the brains were all extremely wealthy and were faced with a extreme disabling disease or handicap.
It is rumored, that months before the owner of the brain is to die, he/she is visited by a man dressed in all gray who for a price offers them eternal life. If they accept he comes back on the day of their natural death, removes the brain and places it inside a specially made vat. Moments later, the helpless person "wakes" to find out what he/she has become. This usually drives the poor victim insane which helps unleash the unsettling powers that the B.I.A.J is known to have.
A disembodied brain  weighs about 25 pounds, which includes the weight of the glass canister and the preservative fluids.
A disembodied brain can speak telepathically to any creature within 100 feet that has a language.

This talent allows a character to move objects by the power of his mind alone. He may move WPRx2

pounds with his mind at a rate of WPR feet per round, rounded to the nearest 5 (73 WPR would be 75 feet,

72 would be 70). An object may be moved to a distance of 100 feet. Only one object may be moved at a time, even if it is lighter than the user’s maximum pounds allowed. An object may be used as a bludgeon (but

considered as a missile attack), dealing damage on the unarmed combat results key if the object weighs less than 50 pounds, or on the armed results if it is over 50 pounds. A person may be lifted into the air

and dropped for normal falling damage.

Vigil for 2 Children Mom Allegedly Killed in 'Exorcism'

NOTE : This posting is not to highlight the crime committed by these women, but to be used as a means to show that from any news source a idea for cryptworld can be created. - Tym

Stunned neighbors organized a vigil Saturday night in front of the house where two children were found stabbed to death in suburban Washington after their mother allegedly attempted an "exorcism."

The children's mother, Zakieya Latrice Avery, 28, and Monifa Denise Sanford, 21, were charged in connection to slayings that Montgomery County Police said resulted from the women's belief that they were "performing an exorcism" on the children.

Two other children found at the residence had minor injuries and were expected to be OK, authorities said.

The women were charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder.

ABC News' attempts to locate attorneys for the two accused women have been unsuccessful.

Stuffed animals, flowers, balloons and candles lined the sidewalk in front of the house Saturday night where the children were found. Neighbors and visitors huddled around the improvised memorial with candles.

One woman, an unidentified relative, was seen sobbing uncontrollably on the sidewalk in front of the house, according to ABC News affiliate WJLA-TV in Washington.



Neighbors said there had been no signs of anything wrong at the house.

"My heart goes out to the children, my heart goes out to the family. My heart even goes out to the mother," neighbor Judith Clark said to WJLA-TV. "But we did not see it coming."

Another neighbor Robert Wooden said the story "broke" his heart.

"That's everybody's first reaction, 'Oh, my God, how can this happen? How can you do this as a child.' You don't know what's going on in somebody's mind," Wooden told WJLA-TV. "If there's problems going on at home and they're seeking mental health [help] and they're not getting the mental health [help], what can we do to stop it?"

Police responded to a call Friday around 9:30 a.m. at a townhouse where officers discovered what they described as a "very bloody" crime scene.

"Investigators have learned that the two defendants believed that they were performing an exorcism," police said in a statement released Saturday.

Police found both Norell Harris, 1, and Zyana Harris, 2, dead with multiple stab wounds. Avery's two other children, Taniya Harris, 5, and Martello Harris, 8, along with Sanford, were also found injured and taken to a hospital.

Avery was unhurt. Police arrested the woman when she allegedly attempted to flee the scene. She was being held without bond.

Taniya Harris and Martello Harris remain hospitalized, while Sanford was arrested Saturday afternoon after her release from hospital, police said in a statement.

"Cases like this are heartbreaking" Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger said in the statement. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims along with the 911 operators, police officers, evidence technicians, and fire and EMS personnel that responded."

The turmoil began Thursday night, when police responded to a 911 call by a neighbor reporting a child left unattended in a vehicle, Montgomery County Police Captain Jim Daly told ABC News.

By the time police arrived, two women had left the townhouse, retrieved the child and re-entered the home. Police investigated and arranged for child protective services to visit the home of the child.

Police received another 911 call from a resident of the same neighborhood Friday morning, reporting blood on the outside of a vehicle and a knife lying outside of the vehicle, prompting police to enter the residence. When they entered, Avery allegedly fled out of the back of the home and was apprehended by police, authorities said.

Police found two children dead in the upstairs part of the home, as well as the two other children and Sanford, who suffered injuries. Sanford is not believed to be a family member but is believed to have lived at the residence, police said.

ABC News' Jack Cloherty, Tom Giusto and Colleen Curry and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Colt [Mysterious Object]

Back in 1835, when Halley's Comet was overhead, same night those men died at the Alamo, they say Samuel Colt made a gun. A special gun. He made it for a hunter. A man like us, only on horseback. Story goes, he made thirteen bullets. This hunter used the gun a half dozen times before he disappeared, the gun along with him... Somehow Daniel got his hands on it. They say... they say this gun can kill anything.

Type   Range Modifier  Ammo  ROF   RL   Mounted Use?
Revolver      -07                   6        4      2*         Yes
Special Ability : Colt created this gun with one purpose and one purpose only to kill those creatures that would hunt god fearing folk,
In game terms any damage done by this weapon is shifted one level when determining damage
exanple : a S result becomes a L wound,etc.
A natural C result is special, if a C result is naturally rolled then the thing must make a sta ability check with a negative modifer = to the damage caused by the amount from the c result.
Failure = Instant Death to the creature
S result = damage x 4
L result = damage x 3
M result= damage x 2.5
H result = damage x 2
C result = damage x 1
That seems too powerful? well here is the kicker, without the special bullets the colt is just that a simple revolver. It is rumored that colt scattered a trove of bullets across the country when he was finished with the revolver

Evening of Terror [ Adventure Seeds ]

The Beast of South Mountain - reports are coming in of a creature being described as a "dinosaur like creature" encountered on the south mountain. The creature has been described as an animal with a long neck and tail which are characteristics of a sauropod dinosaur. Its body size is somewhere between the size of a hippopotamus and an elephant. Its length has been reported to be between 5 to 10 meters (16 to 32 feet). The length of the neck is between 1.6 to 3.3 meters (5 to 10 feet). The length of the tail is between 1.6 to 3.3 meters (5 to 10 feet). The latest eye witness was marcia grant,who with her dog shalome was hiking the south mountain trails when shalome got loose from her leash and ran off... Marcia chased after her dog,what happened next can only be taken as the rantings of a mad woman. "I ran up the trail and there it was, this massive creature with my poor shalome in it's mouth. It didnt\'t noticed me it slowly shaked its head and I heard a whimper and she was gone, it swallowed her whole!" She was found hours later near comatose in fright at the base of the sonoran trail.

Hook Thaggis [ CHill conversion to Cryptworld ]

The hook thaggis are smaller creatures,who for centuries,have lived in civilized areas,cleverly disguised as thier human neighbors.They hate and envy the humans around them for the ability to hold and manipulate things and this jealousy makes the Hook Thaggis a willing servitor for any powerful creature.
       In their natural form, the hook thaggis looks like a short man-like creature with wrinlked skin,bristly hair and giant staring red eyes. Each arm ends in a sharp edged horn hook,much like a claw or talon. The Hook Thaggis is able to use the hook as a weapon, but they prefer to use the hands they possess in human form, as this allows them to manipulate things. They possess only one unsettlling power and that is the ability to change self.

Devil Fishmen [Deep Ones]

I think their predominant color was a greyish-green, though they had white bellies. They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed. At the sides of their necks were palpitating gills, and their long paws were webbed. They hopped irregularly, sometimes on two legs and sometimes on four. I was somehow glad that they had no more than four limbs. Their croaking, baying voices, clearly used for articulate speech, held all the dark shades of expression which their staring faces lacked ... They were the blasphemous fish-frogs of the nameless design - living and horrible.

 Lovecraft describes the Deep Ones as a race of undersea-dwelling humanoids whose preferred habitat is deep in the ocean (hence their name). However, despite being primarily marine creatures, they can come to the surface and can survive on land for some time. All Deep Ones are immortal; none die except by accident or violence. They are said to serve the beings known as Father Dagon and Mother Hydra, as well as Cthulhu.They are opposed by mysterious beings known as the Old Gods, whose powerful magic can keep them in check.

The Urban Wendigo is a modern day version of the dreaded wendigo from Native American folklore.

The Wendigo is a cannibalistic beast from Native American folklore and legend. It is the most feared of all monsters and spirits in Native American folklore and mythology. It is known to possess people and cause them to develop an unnatural hunger for human flesh, it becomes so ravenous according to legend it will resort to eating its own flesh.

The urban wendigo is a person who is possessed by the wendigo spirit either by a curse or by committing a cannibalistic act either for self preservation or for darker reasons. The first time they taste human flesh, they make themselves known to the wendigo who then influences the soon to be urban wendigo to consume more. Once down this path, the would be wendigo becomes addicted to the taste of human flesh to the extent that regular food no longer satisfies them.
