Audition
In the early days of horror, movie makers couldn't rely on blood
to create fear. Since those days, creating nightmare fuel
with no blood has become an art form. For inspiration:
Psycho, The Wicker Man, Hard Candy, and The Shining.
Submissions Accepted Until: (tbd)
Prize for First Place: 500k

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
This is a cosplay contest! Entries should be cosplays
of horror movie villains or monsters. Please label entries.
Submissions Accepted Until: (tbd)
Prize for First Place: 500k

Welcome to the Grindhouse
Avatars should be modeled off of Grindhouse cinema:
over the top violence and gore, sex, and the bizarre.
Famous examples include: Night of the Living Dead,
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead,
Susperia, and The Last House On The Left.
Submissions Accepted Until: (tbd)
Prize for First Place: 500k

Keep an eye out! Throughout the event, I will host lightning round avatar contests. The first five people to PM me while wearing their (contest appropriate) submissions will be entered in the lightning round. The winner will be chosen by popular vote.

They're aggressive.
They're insatiable.
And they never sleep.

They are...
the paparazzi.

They stalk the forums, taking screenshots of awesome Halloween avatars. And then they post those screenshots in this thread (and quote the avatar's owner in the same post.) And a lucky few will receive a prize (as will the owner of the awesome Halloween avatar.)

[TrulyCapricious]

Trick or Treaters in the Halloween forum sometimes get prizes.

To play, just post "Trick or Treat!" in this thread.
You must be in costume to participate.
