The first Hellbreak TCG set will include characters and settings from Smile, Sleepy Hollow and A Quiet Place, alongside other horror properties. The set is scheduled to launch in January 2027 with more than 200 cards, with future expansions planned.
Smile, Sleepy Hollow and A Quiet Place will be among the properties represented in the inaugural set of Hellbreak TCG, a horror trading card game scheduled to launch in January 2027. The set is planned to include more than 200 cards, bringing monsters from several film franchises into a single game.
The announced cards will feature the Death Angels from A Quiet Place, the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow and the entity from Smile. The source report says the set will draw on seven properties associated with Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Horror Inc.; it does not provide a full list of all seven in the announcement details supplied.
Hellbreak is being developed in collaboration with Ghost Galaxy. Its first set is slated for sale at game and hobby shops and through Amazon. The game is described as a head-to-head trading card game in which players build decks using horror characters and pit them against one another.
After the initial release, the publisher plans to add characters from more studios through future expansions. The announced future contributors include AMC Global Media, Blumhouse and Lionsgate, as well as Universal Pictures, which the source identifies as a creative cornerstone partner. No dates or specific properties for those expansions were provided.
The announcement puts characters from films made under different studio banners into one licensed tabletop product. That gives fans a way to build decks around horror properties that are not ordinarily presented together on screen, while collectors can look for cards tied to familiar characters and settings.
The format also lets the game bring together properties whose film rights and studio arrangements can complicate cross-franchise projects in other media. That is the premise behind the lineup, not a claim that the game will reproduce any particular movie crossover. The practical appeal will depend on how the cards play and how the licensing is reflected in the finished set—details that have not yet been announced.
A planned set of more than 200 cards and a stated lineup of seven properties give the launch a broad scope. Additional studio partnerships could expand that pool later, though the scale and timing of those additions remain unknown.

A Multi-Studio Launch Lineup
Horror crossovers have appeared in film before, including Freddy vs. Jason in 2003 and Alien vs. Predator in 2004. Those films brought together properties under particular rights arrangements. The source report notes that studio rights can make similar combinations more complicated in other entertainment formats.
Hellbreak is instead presenting the characters within a trading card game. The source report identifies its initial slate as spanning Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Horror Inc., and says future expansions are expected to add properties connected to AMC Global Media, Blumhouse and Lionsgate. The newly specified characters—Death Angels, the Headless Horseman and Smile’s entity—are part of that wider announced horror lineup.
The first set is not yet available. The current plan is a January 2027 release through game and hobby shops and Amazon, with further information directed to the game’s website.
““We’ve set out to create an unprecedented lineup of horror IP for Hellbreak to deliver a trading card game experience like no other.””
— Doug Wadleigh, Spin Master’s president of toys
Game Details Still Pending
The announcement does not give a full checklist of the more than 200 cards, identify all seven properties in the inaugural set, or explain the rules, card rarities, pricing or whether any cards will be available through special releases. It also does not say which characters beyond the three named will appear in the launch set.
The January 2027 date is the stated release plan; no specific day was given. The source material does not confirm whether the schedule is final or whether the game will launch in every market at the same time. No names or release windows were announced for the planned expansions.
Awaiting the Full Set Reveal
The next expected updates are further details about Hellbreak’s rules, the full launch roster and how the cards will be sold. The first set is currently scheduled for January 2027 at game and hobby shops and on Amazon.

Players and collectors can check Hellbreak’s official website for new information as it is released. Until the full checklist and gameplay details are published, the confirmed announcement is limited to the named franchises, the planned set size, the distribution channels and the launch window.
