Succubus Sunday/October Horror Movie Challenge - Siren (2016)

Synopsis: A group of friends skip the typical strip clubs during a bachelor party and end up in a mysterious club in a secluded mansion. There they discover a beautiful woman locked in a room. Freeing her they quickly learn that there's more to her that meets the eye.

The Good: This is a pretty solid cast with some interesting visuals. I liked the succubus and the leach-headed medusa is really cool. Mr. Nyx is an excellent antagonist and I'm definitely going to use a character like him in the future.

The Bad:
This one isn't Oscar worthy, but honestly, I can't think of any complaints.


Final Thoughts: This film took my favorite short from V/H/S and did a good job of turning it intoa  feature length film.

In Your Game: 

You're getting a double dose of new monsters.



Succubus
Armor Class: 13                                           Attack Damage: Tail Stinger or 1d6

A succubus can sing a song that will cause all of those that hear it to relive their greatest sexual experiences, unless they make a successful Mental/Magic saving throw. They are unable to act while she sings and for 1d6-2 (minimum of 1) rounds after the song ends. Those that succeed must continue making saving throws every round she sings. Succubi often appear as beautiful (and mysterious) humans and only have a Terror score when they reveal their true forms. 

Memory Leech

Armor Class: 10                                           Attack Damage: By weapon

Hit Dice: 4                                                     Special: Steal Memory
Move: 12                                                       Bonuses: +2

A memory leach is a rare humanoid that is the cousin of the gorgons. They are all appear to be beautiful women and have hair made of leaches. These leeches can be removed and placed at the base of a human's spine. It was steal a memory from the individual which will be contained within the leach and can be remembered by anyone that consumes the leech. A Terror check is only required if the Memory Leech isn't wearing a hat/head wrap.
