'''''Grave Robbers From Outer Space''''' is a 2001 card game released by Z-Man Games spoofing the making of low-budget horror movies. The idea is to have the highest Defensive Strength when someone plays a ''Roll The Credits'' card or the draw pile is empty. Defensive Strength is increased by playing ''Character'' (such as ''The Prom Queen'' or ''The Aged Vampire Hunter'') cards into your "movie" and giving characters ''Props'' like ''The Chainsaw'' or ''Big-Ass 'Fro'', and from ''Location'' cards (''The Funhouse'', ''Camp Lake Zirconia'', etc.) Other players try to lower each others' defense by killing characters with ''Creatures'' (''Dracula,'' ''Demonic God Up to No Good'', ''Killer Vegetables,'' etc.), negative Locations, and using ''Special Effects'' cards that can be used to perform things like doubling a Creature's strength or destroying another player's Location.
Basically if someone made a card game based on this wiki, [[Troperiffic|this would be it]].
Line 14:
''Bell-Bottomed Badasses On the Mean Streets of Funk'' covers "70's action movies," but mostly it's ''Blacula'' and all the movies they were making fun of in ''[[I'm Gonna Git You Sucka]]''.
''Berserker Halflings From the Dungeon of Dragons'' spoofs swords and sorcery flicks like ''[[Conan]]'', ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', ''[[Hawk the Slayer]]'', ''[[Film/Beastmaster|Beastmaster]]'' and ''[[Labyrinth]]''.
''Scurvy Musketeers of the Spanish Main'' spoofs [[Swashbuckler
''Bushwhackin' Varmint's Out of Sergio's Butte'' for Westerns.
''Silent...But Deadly Night'' covers Christmas classics like the ''[[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer|Rudolph]]'' movies, ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'', ''[[It's a Wonderful Life|Its a Wonderful Life]]'', ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (novel)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]'', ''[[A Christmas Story]]'' and ''[[Santa Claus Conquers the Martians]]''.
