Splatter Punk 70's & 80's Post Apocalyptic Horror Campaign

The "Supernaturalypse" spread its wings across the face of the Earth like the angel of death herself. The effects still linger to this day! Cemeteries are no longer places where the living and the dead interact! They are psychic breeding grounds where the memories of the living and the dead mix in an unholy dance! These "Hellborn" for want of a better word call down all sorts of creatures and spirits of damned!  
Its as if the gates of hell itself are let loose! 

Night time forays into such places are sheer suicide for the living. These ghostly hell gates glow with a terrible green eldrictch light that can be seen for miles. The supernatural sounds and sometimes ancient music carries even further. The living are sometimes drawn to see such sights only to be cursed or worse when they meddle in the affairs of the dead or undead!
 There is a 60% chance each night dallying around these places that a random demon or monster drawn by the paranormal energies will attack the party. The door to the realms swings both ways!

The damned only have to project their very will and reality runs like melted wax to their wishes. Below are a few examples. These items have become minor legend among locals who sometimes use outcasts to trade with the dead. These fools often end up as fodder for the next lord that they displease. Still the congress between living and dead continues.
