October 4, 2005 17:59 - Evil Never Dies - a brand new Halloween murder mysteryMysteries-on-the-Net have just released a new Halloween murder mystery party game - Evil Never Dies.
He was called Evil-Eyed Emil. When he looked at people with his infamous right eye, so the story went, bad things invariably happened. Townspeople cringed and covered their faces as Emil came near, not daring to look directly into his ominous orb. And, as he was being driven out of Reaper Junction on Halloween night exactly 100 years ago, Emil vowed to return one day to wreak his vengeance on the mob and its progeny for the way he had been so rudely tossed out....
As with all their mysteries, Evil Never Dies features a few suspects (six in this case) and lots of sleuths. Each of the suspects has a detailed character background - and it's the job of the Halloween sleuths to pick through the truths, lies and half-lies to solve the mystery and identify the murderer.

October 15, 2005 13:50 - The Immortal MurdersDinner and a Murder Mystery Games have just released The Immortal Murders - a supernatural murder mystery party ideal for Halloween...
It is the Immortals Annual Costume Ball, filled with vampyrs, mages, fairies, were-creatures and watchers - and murder.
The Immortal Murders is a little different from Dinner and a Murder Mystery Games other parties in that it includes weapon cards and spells - and the guests can choose who they murder!
With mages, vampyrs and the like The Immortal Murders looks like a great idea for Halloween - although with just over two weeks to go, I would have preferred a little more time. Still, there's no reason to hold the game on Halloween only - you could hold it any time of the year!
PS - Three things to watch for. First, the game isn't quite finished as I type this - I'm told that it should be due over the weekend of the 15/16th October. However you can print out the Host's Guide and the character booklets. Second, you'll need to log in to download the files - if you don't have a password already, you'll have to log in (I didn't realise this and had to ask). Third, just be careful when printing - the files are set up for double-sided printing, but you need to watch how your printer is set up to make it work properly.

To help you avoid some of the ovbious pitfalls, I've written some for your murder mystery party venue.
