Tips for Being Selected
There are only six slots available, so send us your best work. This year, we are looking for lean, dynamic scripts with an emphasis on scariness. Do not send us sci-fi or fantasy. The maximum number of comic horror pieces we will include is two, so play the odds. We are interested in new forms of horror as well as innovative takes on classic horror tropes.

Looking for ideas?
Pick something from this list (courtesy of monster-movies.com) and approach it in a way that’s never been seen before or pick two and combine them in a surprising way.
vampires
zombies
other forms of resurrected (with adverse consequences) corpses
werewolves
ancient curses
ghosts
demons and / or demonic possession
malicious extraterrestrials
evil children (careful – we won’t be casting kids)
slashers
animals attacking humans (careful – we won’t be casting animals, either)
inanimate objects brought to life by black magic or twisted science
haunted houses
cannibals

Questions? Call 336-335-6426. Best of luck and remember, be scary!
