First Time- Playing Nightmare II!!

Super excited, tonight my husband Tony and I are going to play the Nightmare II board game for the first time!

This spooktacular game is hosted by the Baron Samedi and if you don't say, "Yo Baron, I can dig it" in time, you will be banished to the black hole!  Oh no!!!

We'll be playing this later in the evening after it's dark because for this game, atmosphere is everything.

A picture of the game setup

A sneak peek preview of the freaky fun this game will be!

Here are some pictures I took during the game.  With the expansion games, they are harder and go a lot quicker than the original Nightmare game.  Tony kept ending up in the black hole and I ended up winning/beating the Baron with 2 minutes to spare so it was a close call!

Some video I took while playing the game~

And the victory win!  I'm sure next time Tony will win. :-)

Another Awesome Find on Ebay!

About a week ago I came across a listing for an "Atmosfear" jigsaw puzzle.  Its rare and was only ten dollars so I had to grab it up before someone else did!  There were four or five watchers on it so I'm glad I purchased it. :-)

I got it in the mail the other day and wanted to share some pictures.  No, its not a board game, however, its still a rare collectible item for lovers of the "Atmosfear/Nightmare" series.  There are 3 missing pieces, but all three are on the very bottom of the puzzle picture so it doesn't cut into any of the actual picture, only three spots of the border/frame on the bottom.

Awesome Pics from Frederique Fouche aka Anne de Chantraine & Elizabeth Bathory

I am in an Atmosfear Fan Club on Facebook and noticed in 2012 the actress Frederique Fouche posted some photos of behind the scenes when she filmed "Nightmare III"- she was Anne de Chantraine.  Then she also played Elizabeth Bathory in "Nightmare IV"- so cool she shared these photos.  I wanted to share them in this blog!

"Nightmare" Trailers/Commercials/TV Spots & Promos

With the success of the "Nightmare" board game series, many commercials were made as well as TV spots were put out too.  I wanted to list them here, they are great!
My apologies, some of the videos I had to put into this blog via html so they are bigger and stretched.

If I find any other ads, promos, anything of the like, I will post them here in the future! Enjoy!


Nightmare/Atmosfear (original)

Nightmare II

This is the music video taken directly after the Nightmare II game:

Atmosfear "Thrill Me" Early Mix:




They never actually made Nightmare III & IV commercials (from what I could find), but they did make a TV commercial for Nightmare 1, 2, and 3:

Atmosfear- The Harbingers commercial:

Atmosfear: The Gatekeeper (2006):

Here is a promotional video called, "Nightmare Presenter Video":

I found this awhile back and was just laughing my @ss off!  Someone spoofed this "making of Nightmare III" and put their own take/twist on it.  Very well done and very convincing!

Promotional Videos & Other Fan-Based Videos

Obviously YouTube is still a very popular place to upload videos.  I have found some vids I'd like to share.

First is a promotional music video made back when the series had launched and was very popular.  It has that pop 90's sound to it too!  The main character who dances and sings in this video is "Baron Samedi" who is the host of "Nightmare II."  This has been named the, "Thrill Me" video which is a phrase the Baron uses in the second Nightmare game.

"Yo Baron, I can dig it!" ;-)

**Interesting note- The actor who plays "The Gatekeeper" in the original Nightmare game, Wenanty Nosul, (who also reprised his role as the Gatekeeper in the Harbingers game) also plays the Baron Samedi in "Nightmare II."  Actress Frederique Fouche, who played Anne de Chantraine in "Nightmare III", also played Elizabeth Bathory in the "Nightmare IV" game as well.


The video below is a promotional TV spot made in Australia (where the company who created the game is from):

And here is a video someone made of the game series- it's erm...interesting..lol

Just found this fan made video about an upcoming game they were in the process of creating about the character of Gevaudan the Werewolf.  Very well done teaser trailer!  Will be cool if they complete it in the future~

"Nightmare" Websites and Resources

I have stumbled upon a couple very resourceful websites created by fans of the "Nightmare" series~

THE NIGHTMARE/ATMOSFEAR TEAM

Another website that has just about every board game known to man, listed is Board Game Geek~

BOARD GAME GEEK

You can even create your own profile with a wish list on BGG~

MY WISHLIST ON BOARD GAME GEEK

Another excellent website that has information I had never come across before~

THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL

WELCOME TO MY ATMOSFEAR

MINION'S PLAYLAND

THE VOID

These sites were created a number of years ago so there are many adds that pop up or certain pages don't have some of the links working, etc.  However, there is still resourceful information on them if you dig enough.

I'm sure I will be adding to this list whenever I find a new site~

Original Fan-Based "Nightmare" Videos

A person who goes by the name "CapitaineGMC" created around 13 original Nightmare/Atmosfear game videos several years ago.  They added characters that were from the original series and new one's as well.  I am listing each and every video on here.  They are full game videos- most of them are 60 minutes a piece which is what the original "Nightmare" games are in length.  Please keep in mind these are in French.  I do believe some of them have subtitles though.  I still need to look more into these but couldn't resist sharing them in my Nightmare blog!

First off, this is the direct link to the YouTube channel:        CAPITAINEGMC ON YOUTUBE

And here is their profile on Google +:        CAPITAINEGMC ON GOOGLE +



First we have, "L'lle Maudite"- seems to be an undead pirate of the sea!  Apologies, I don't know French and this description and video are all in French.

Part 1~

Part 2~

Part 3~

Now there's "Ahura Mazda, le Djinn"  Again this is all in French and no English subtitles.

And extra features from this game.

And here is a separate video of this same game, with English subtitles.

This is a video with "Gevaudan, the werewolf" as the host.

This is a character named, "Huno Kofman"

Below is the character, "Vera Renczi"

This is a different version of the character, "Khufu the Mummy"- French w/English subtitles.  The original "Nightmare V" featured Khufu the Mummy as well.

The "Bogeyman" is next.  French w/English subtitles.

Character "Jack O'Lantern" is below- no subtitles, just in French.

Atmosfear 7-  "Hellin the Poltergeist".  This is in French w/English subtitles.  This is an original character name from the Nightmare series and like all the others, this too is a fan made video.

Nightmare 8- "Zombo, the Demonic Clown"- again, fan made and is in French w/English subtitles.
