Horror Hero

Shannon Appelcline noted that after Hero System was published as a universal game system, full genre supplements were released, "The new genres included Ninja Hero (1990), Western Hero (1991), Cyber Hero (1993) and Horror Hero (1994)."^[2]: 150

Sean Holland reviewed Horror Hero in White Wolf Inphobia #50 (Dec., 1994), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "Horror Hero is a good genre book, though I don't recommend it as the first campaign supplement for people new to the Hero System. For those of us who are familiar with the system, Horror Hero is a useful resource, whether you want to run a full-scale endless nightmare campaign or give the characters a few choice nightmares."^[1]
