MIDNIGHT IN THE HOUSE OF THE DAMNED is not for the faint of heart. Many characters flat-out break major rules or even make their own. Many booby traps await the careless Townsfolk or the ambitious Minion.
Many characters can win or lose the game single-handedly, so crafty and adventurous bluffs can yield massive rewards. However, just figuring out who exactly is on your team can be a challenge in itself. All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
Expert. Recommended for those comfortable with risk, challenge, and extremely ambitious bluffing.
Good players are encouraged to bluff as evil players, and pretend to use the evil players’ abilities. Varied win conditions turn the game on its head. Before the good team can win, they will need to figure out HOW to win. Tricky stuff.
Evil players have more power than any other edition, and can win or lose the game in an instant. However, even figuring out who is on their team and whether they really know what they know can be a challenge. They must be careful who they trust, unless they make a crucial mistake and reveal everything.

Evil Townsfolk might register as minions instead, even if you are dead. Evil Townsfolk don't learn that they are evil. [Minions might be replaced by evil townsfolk]
How to Run
Replace any amount of minions with evil townsfolk. During minion info, show minions the evil townsfolk as minions. During demon info, show the demon the evil townsfolk as minions. Do not wake the evil townsfolk during minion info. Do not tell the evil townsfolk they are evil. If a townsfolk becomes evil while the Piper is alive, do not inform them that they are evil. If there is no living or sober and healthy Piper, inform all evil townsfolk that they are evil.
