As spooky season falls upon us, many Dungeon Masters are dusting off their gothic adventures, dimming the lights, and gathering their players for nights of chilling dice rolls. Whether you’re running the infamous Curse of Strahd, a homebrew horror one-shot, or just want to add some eerie encounters to your campaign, the right miniatures and accessories can transform your table into something truly unforgettable.

At The Print Tavern, we specialise in bringing characters, monsters, and NPCs to life with beautifully detailed resin miniatures — perfect for creating the atmospheric horror that Halloween demands. Here are some of our favourite picks to set the mood for your next spooky adventure:

🐺 Werewolves & Creatures of the Night

Few monsters say “Halloween” like the howl of a werewolf beneath the full moon. Our werewolves are perfect for unleashing terror in the mists of Barovia or any haunted forest. Use them for a full moon transformation, a cursed NPC, or even as Strahd’s loyal hunting beast.

DM Tip: Dim your table lights and play distant howling sounds when you reveal this model for maximum effect.

 

⚔️ Bandits, Cultists & Sinister Villagers

Not every foe in a horror campaign is a monster — sometimes it’s the people. Our bandit gangs are ideal for creepy roadside ambushes or villagers hiding dark secrets. A few well-placed bandits in a fog-bound road encounter can make even a simple skirmish feel sinister.

DM Tip: Re-use these models across sessions — sometimes they’re cultists in service to a dark god, other times they’re desperate townsfolk driven to desperate acts.

 

🧙 NPCs With Secrets

Every horror story needs a mysterious stranger. Our merchants add flavour to your towns and villages, offering strange trinkets and rare supplies. But are they really helping… or leading your heroes astray?

DM Tip: Give him a cursed item among his wares to tempt your players — Halloween is all about dangerous bargains.

 

🎯 Heroes & Monster Hunters

For parties who want to channel the Van Helsing vibe, these models are perfect as a grim hunter, vampire slayer, or even as brave NPC allies. They fit seamlessly into horror campaigns where the line between hero and victim blurs.

 

🐾 Beasts That Stalk the Shadows

In the dark woods, unseen dangers lurk. Our beasts make fantastic ambush predators, prowling just beyond the firelight. Whether they’re real beasts or magical familiars of something darker, they’ll keep your players on edge.

 

👻 Townsfolk & Atmosphere

What’s a haunted village without the chilling presence of its unsettled residents? Our miniatures - terrified townsfolk, restless dead villagers, and the lone gravedigger - bring your spooky settlements to life. Perfect for eerie festivals, haunted taverns, or mysterious encounters that will make your players shiver.

 

🏰 Terrain for Haunting Encounters

It’s not just the monsters that set the tone — the battlefield itself can make or break the mood. The right terrain turns a simple skirmish into a cinematic, Halloween-worthy moment. At The Print Tavern, we’ve got gothic scenery and scatter terrain that’s perfect for Curse of Strahd or any spooky one-shot.
