King of Tokyo expansions
Halloween vs Cthulhu Monster Pack
Short answer: buy Halloween first. Fun extras for fans. Get Power Up! first so you can use all of it.
Pick Cthulhu Monster Pack first instead if this sounds more like your table: A fun extra monster once you own Power Up!. One reviewer's group dropped the Madness card because it made turns worse for everyone else.
