Quick answer
For a fresh challenge with multiple killers, choose A Knock at the Door. If you prefer enhanced miniatures and a classic one-on-one hunt, pick A Demon in the Shadows.
Core gameplay difference
A Knock at the Door throws you into a home invasion scenario where you face three Intruders at once. This ramps up tension and forces you to manage multiple threats simultaneously, a stark contrast to the usual single-killer hunt.
A Demon in the Shadows keeps the traditional one-killer structure but offers a complete miniature set (Killer, two Final Girls, and a Donkey) that brings the horror to life on the table. The miniatures add visual immersion without changing the core rules.
What you need to own first
Both expansions require the Final Girl Core Box to play. A Knock at the Door is a Feature Film box that is not standalone. A Demon in the Shadows Miniatures is an accessory pack that enhances the base game's content.
