Bio, this is fantastic and it's about 4 1/2 min, so half of what we need to write. The lighting set up is fascinating how it changes the look and feel. thanks for sharing.
As I understand it, the Halloween contest page limit is 8, but there's no minimum page requirement. So, you can submit a killer 5 page story and win! (D'pat, please correct me if this is wrong)

Well done all, looking forward to seeing your entries. You've got... 25 days? ...to think of something. That'll fly in quickly, I bet. Something happens to linear time as Halloween approaches.

I'm in!
bioprofessor's rank amateur tips:
1. Get in late, leave early... https://vimeo.com/109395473 https://vimeo.com/508311119
2. Tell a story! This is a short script contest (not excerpted scenes from a full length feature).
3. Related to #1 and #2, note character count in linked videos.Last edited by bioprofessor; 10-02-2021, 05:22 AM.

Halloween contest 2021
'Tis time for the funnest contest of them all, Halloween, when stars and planets hurry to align and the veil between realms becomes thinnest, inviting unspeakable things to reach through into our world and fiddle with our imaginations.
You are invited to write and submit 8 pages* by close of day Thursday 28th October. That'll give us 3 days to read the entries and vote. Why before Halloween? Because after Halloween, the spark of enthusiasm will die and everyone will wander away.
When you're finished creating your masterpiece, export text or PDF file and send to dpaterson57 at gmail.com
You don't have to use Halloween motifs and tropes if you don't want to, although that is kind of what the contest is all about and what readers might expect to find. Summon a demon after midnight tonight under the light of the pale moon and ask them for advice on this if you're unsure.
Perhaps you might indicate your interest by replying here, so we'll have an idea of whether the contest will run or not.
* that's 8 pages maximum... your entry can be shorter if you prefer.
For posterity, the entries thread is here and the results thread is here.
