Metaversal and Crypt TV have announced the launch of Monster Fight Club, a collection of 10,000 NFTs inspired by Crypt TV’s Monster Universe, allowing fans to own a monster and benefit from the success of its IP.
Founded in 2015 by Jack Davis and Eli Roth, Crypt TV’s Monster Universe has grown to television, podcasts, live events, and more with “Girl in the Woods” on Peacock directed by Krysten Ritter and film with CHHORII debuting as the #1 film in India for Amazon Prime. Crypt TV monsters were featured at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando in 2021. Crypt TV also released its first podcast based on its original monster Mordeo with iHeartPodcasts and Blumhouse Productions.
“Crypt’s IP has been adapted at the highest levels of television, live events and video games but nothing excites me more than our entry into NFTs. I truly believe NFTs and Web3 could set off a new era of IP creation, community development and restack the deck in favor of creators,” said Jack Davis, CEO of Crypt TV. “When I started Crypt in 2015 I did so wanting to create IP for a new generation of internet consumers. With this step to NFTs, I feel we are closer than ever to fulfilling our original mission.”
Horror fans are encouraged to embrace the monster inside them and choose the character they relate to the most. They can mint 10 of their favorite Crypt TV monsters as Monster Fight Club NFTs: The Birch, Brute, Cakeman, Fluffy, Harclaw, Look-See, Miss Annity, Mordeo, The Thing, or Walter.
Each NFT is a 1/1 and has a different rarity based on combinations of backgrounds, skin textures, and other features. Future drops include Tormented Crystal NFTs that can be forged with a monster to make them stronger and upgrade one of seven characteristics: power, vitality, intelligence, agility, stealth, terror, and a unique supernatural trait.
Monster Fight Club NFT holders will receive a collectible NFT card of their monster, with utility that includes the ability to create a profile pic (PFP), ticketing features, a downloadable 3D monster file to use in the metaverse, and much more.
Additionally, generative gaming will be the next extension of Monster Fight Club. Each monster has its own tribe, where NFT holders control its IP and how its story evolves. There are infinite ways the tribes work, including competing against each other, aka “the Fight Club,” playing games together, hosting real-world events, and even raising funds to make movies about them. Crypt TV lore will also influence how the epic story of each monster unfolds.
Monster Fight Club NFTs will be available via Mint Passes, sold on March 9th, 16th, and 23rd, are redeemable within 48 hours of purchase on OpenSea. Mint passes are also rewarded to active participants who help build Crypt TV’s community on Twitter and Discord. The Mint Passes are NFTs themselves and thus can be traded too. A public sale will follow on March 30.
