I seem to recall the book stating it provides a couple of ways to play, but I might be recalling one of the other two Bedrock games I also downloaded and was looking through (I am sure Bedrock will correct me if I am wrong).<a href="http://mostunreadblogever.blogspot.com/2011/08/tommys-take-on-horror-show.html" target="_blank">review</a>.  I found another great capsule review at rpgnow.Slash Flick: Directors Cut (Spectrum Games): Another game for which I have seen good reviews.  Focuses the characters on being victims in a slasher flick.  <a href="http://mostunreadblogever.blogspot.com/2010/09/tommys-take-o n-slasher-flick-directors.html" target="_blank">review</a>.  You can find more reviews at rpg.netLittle Fears: Nightmare Edition (Funsized Games)  A game of childhood terror. The PCs are kids. All the mosnters that kids imagine are real. Parents can't help them. <a href="http://mostunreadblogever.blogspot.com/2011/12/tommys-take-on-little-fears-nightmare.html" target="_blank">review</a>.  You can find more reviews at rpg.netWar of the Dead (Daring Entertainment): requires Savage Worlds core book.  It is 52 adventures (split over 4 books) starting from the initial outbreak and leading to a full blown zombie apocalypse (a setting for the aftermath is supposed to be released).  It is inspired by the Walking Dead so if you like that or Zombie Apocalypse it is, defintiley, worth checking out. I own the first book and it is great.  The books include NPCs and other information<a href="http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/15/15000.phtml" target="_blank">review </a> Note: since the review, the reviewer has become an editor on the products. However, this was done before that happened and his reviews are always fair.Dread: The First Pandemonium (Neoplastic Press): a free d12-dice pool splatterpunk game. Demons have invaded Earth to start Armageddon. Upon their arrival, they wiped out a few small towns in the midwest. Now, they have infiltrated society.  The PCs are down on their luck individuals that are about or have hit rock bottom and were rescued from a demon attack by a mysterious figure that gives them supernatural powers to hunt down and fight the demons.  It has been describe as Tarrantino filming Clive Barker. (I own this and it looks good). You can find plenty of reviews at rpg.net"Here is my basic problem with Dread: The First Book of Pandemonium. Why haven't I heard more about it? It is an extremely easy, almost light, game for all sorts of horror. The execution is extremely well thought out and has such an indie charm to it I am a little confused as to why I haven't heard more about it. Let me go over the book a bit."- Timmothy Brannan  who has worked on the Buffy and Ghost of Albion games  (the quote is from his blog, <a href="http://timbrannan.blogspot.com/2012/02/reviews.html" target="_blank">The Other Side</a>Spite: The Second Pandemonium (Neoplastic Press) a free standalone splatterpunk game using the same system as Dread and taking place in the same setting (the two can be used together).  Angels have come to earth to cleanse it and institute God's plan before it is time.  They not only kill sinners, but innocents whom they send to heaven.  The PCs are granted supernatural powers to stop these fallen angels. It had been described as In Nomine if written by Clive Barker (I own this and it looks good, but it is huge 428 pages).  <a href="http://mostunreadblogever.blogspot.com/2010/10/tommys-take-on-spite-second-book-of.html" target="_blank">review</a>You can find more reviews at rpg.netOthersIt Came From the Late Show (now out of print): Focuses on B- movies. The rules are said to be wonky, but fun.Dead of NightHorror Rules: focuses on horror comedy (e..g, Zombieland, Slither 8 Legged Freaks)</blockquote>
