You know there’s a number on your list I don’t recognize at all.Just thinking of some familiar movies from which you could draw inspiration
And yeah, trust me, I ha e a hefty movie list to reference. The choice really is whether I go modern or this fantasy setting I’m discussing here.
As far as your other post about the Safe Havens, I’m thinking that the reason they are safe is because if pacts that have been made with other forces, so it is demons/necromantoc magic/etc defending or holding back the Bad. And the price the community pays is what’s renewing it.
That said. That doesn’t have to be the only factor at play. Say the town is beholden to a lich keeping the Bad our. He doesn’t care one wit about what happens Inside the borders; governance and comfort and laws are for the living. So if a werewolf (or equivalent) is among them, it’s not his problem.
