August 30, 2006 (SEATTLE) - WizKids, Inc. announced today the release of the long-anticipated HorrorClix™ collectable miniatures game (CMG), the game of wicked fun! In this new game, zombies, werewolves, slashers and more can be assembled into a ghoulish army for a gore-filled romp.

"HorrorClix allows players to play out their favorite horror movies using a vast selection of monsters, innocent victims and plot twist cards," said Joe Hauck, executive vice president of Sales, Marketing and Product Development. "This is simply one of the most entertaining games on the market today."

WizKids has built tremendous excitement for HorrorClix at game conventions and nationwide retail locations by introducing a proactive game demonstration model and by showcasing the massive, 16" Great Cthulhu figure, based on H. P. Lovecraft's fictional entity.

A HorrorClix Starter Game (MSRP $14.99) is packed with six prepainted, predetermined figures with corresponding monster cards; three 3-D objects; 12 victim tokens; 12 plot twist cards; one rulebook; one map; two dice and 1 Clix ring. HorrorClix Booster Packs (MSRP $7.99) each feature four prepainted, random miniature figures with corresponding monster cards; one plot twist card and one victim token.

HorrorClix is also available for purchase in "bricks" of 12 Boosters that include a redemption coupon for an exclusive Jack the Ripper figure if the brick is purchased from a brick-and-mortar (non-Internet) retail store. For more information, go to www.wizkidsgames.com.
