Man, Games Workshop in the ‘80s was something else. The company had done floor tiles before — there were at least two dungeon boxes at this point, and the sci-fi Citi-Block set would come out in ‘87. In the middle as Halls of Horror (1986), and it presents, well, what the title says! These are mansion tiles probably most suitable for something like Call of Cthulhu, but would work for any gothic game.

They’re delightfully illustrated, with lots of little details. There are pieces of furniture and other stage dressing, too, that can be cut out and placed as necessary — suits of armor, rugs, corpse, body parts, you name it. There’s a ritual room, of course, a grand hall in two pieces, and various sitting rooms. I love ‘em. This might be my favorite set of room tiles.

And damn, that Ian Miller cover. Just, I can’t imagine just, having access to Ian Miller and sticking his art on a box of room tiles, even if it is recycled from the cover of the Fighting Fantasy book House of Hell (1984). So good!
