Countless numbers have been victims of Horror Rules, a terrifyingly fun tongue-in-cheek role-playing game developed by Chris Weedin of Selah.

And this weekend, you can also, for example, be torn apart by a mob of creeps while playing this game, which is easy to learn -- even for nongamers -- moves quickly and, at the end, leaves few standing.

From 2-6 p.m. Saturday, Weedin will host a Horror Rules demo at Borders, 1700 E. Washington Ave. in Union Gap.

In the game, you craft a character based on one of six scary movie stock personas -- action stars, powerful VIPs, smart scientists, tech whizzes, devious cons or the resilient Regular Joes -- and lead them through some classic horror film plots.

Play is meant to be lively, campy and completely over-the-top -- just wait until your character loses his grip and pees his pants or dips into "invincible lunacy."

"If there isn't an uproar every couple of minutes they're not playing it right," Weedin explained during an October interview after the third annual Horror Rules Mini-Con. "The spirit that people bring to the game is what makes it so fun."
