What this site is

Hellbreak is a new trading card game where horror movie monsters fight to the death. Dracula against Jaws is not a metaphor, it is the actual starter set. Built by Spin Master with Universal Products and Experiences and designed by the team at Ghost Galaxy, it pulls characters from Universal’s horror catalog, with Blumhouse, AMC, and Lionsgate properties named at launch as part of the license pool. That pool has already proven wider than the launch-day list: Death Angels (A Quiet Place), Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) and the Headless Horseman are all confirmed since, and none of them is a clean fit for the original four-studio framing. Good news for a licensed game’s survival odds, and a sign this list will keep growing.

The dates need care. October 31, 2026 is a launch event; ICv2 reported from Gen Con 2026 that the first set reaches stores in January 2027, with the release window pushed to Q1 2027. Anywhere this site gives you a date, that split is the reason.

This site covers the practical side. What is in the $27 starter set and whether it is enough to actually play. How the booster box math works. Which monsters are confirmed versus which are wishful thinking. And if you are a horror fan who has never touched a trading card game, we wrote the beginner guide for you specifically, no card game background assumed.

We are not affiliated with Spin Master, Universal, or anyone else with something to sell you. New TCGs fail more often than they succeed, licensed ones especially, and we would rather tell you that on the front page than pretend every product is a must-buy.

Card database

Every stat, on the index

  • Dracula
  • Jaws
  • The Bride
  • Headless Horseman

We transcribe cost, combat, health, aspect and rules text from the card images themselves, and we show them on the grid rather than making you open a page to find out what a card does. Anything not legible on the image is left blank instead of guessed.

How to play

The three things that decide games

Hellbreak is not complicated, it is just unfamiliar. Three ideas carry most of it, and the Quick-Start Rules are the only official rulebook published so far.

Your Vault
The resource pool you build up over the game. It supplies Blood, the currency you spend to play cards.
Loyalty
The second gate. Paying a card’s Blood cost is not enough; you also need enough matching aspect icons sitting in your Vault.
Lurking and Unleashed
Your monster is one card with two faces. It starts weak and flips to a much bigger threat, and the whole game bends around when that happens.
