Horror is just the top of the pyramid, there are a lot of sub-categories that fall under it.

  • Mystery
  • Suspense
  • Thriller
  • Sci-Fi Horror
  • Supernatural

Make a movie about a Haunted House, Ghosts, Vampires, Zombies or Monsters.

You can make it Grim and Ghastly, Terrifying, Horrifying, Gruesome or Gothic.

Ever had a ghostly encounter? Relive it on film.

Know of a haunted place? Make a documentary about it.

Show us what scares you.

What is your greatest fear?

What were you afraid of as a child?

Make a scary movie 3 to 5 minutes long, submit it on October 22 between 11:00pm and 2:00pm in FA 304.

Remember: Keep it spooky, not goofy.

Here are the links to the submission form and the official rules.
