Halloween Countdown ’08: Whatever-O’-Lantern Contest!

Let's go with a nice, normal, random SNT for today. I can't find any really on-target horror movies for everyone to pretend to watch together, but since we'll be in October by next weekend, I expect tons of hockey masks and chainsaws all over the television.

Course, I don't want you to spend the weekend longing for some kind of spooky activity, so let's do a new contest -- one that will take a little more effort than last week's, but with the chance to win a bigger prize...

Remember this guy? My Horrormelon from this past July? Well, there's your basic inspiration -- now here's your challenge.

Carve a jack-o'-lantern out of something other than a pumpkin It can be anything -- fruit, vegetable, animal, mineral...whatever. The more unique your creation, the better. Since this contest calls for a serious amount of hands-on effort, I'm going to part with an extra special prize:

Yup, one grand prize winner will receive The Nightmare On Elm Street Collection, a big, awful DVD box set containing each and every Freddy Krueger movie, except that one where Jason cut his arm off. (If you want to enter but already have this set, no worries -- I'll give you something else.) Two runners-up will receive single-film horror DVDs of my choosing.

I'll give you all weekend to build your masterpiece. All entries must be received by noon EST on Monday, September 29th. Once you're finished with your creation, e-mail me a photo. I'll spotlight the winners along with more of the best entries next weekend, so even if you don't win, your whatever-o'-lantern will still be seen by however many people read this site.

Speaking of which, check out ten more entries from the "Draw Jason Dancing" contest, after the jump!

Is it just me, or is the font different in Matt’s post?

Killer Klowns is what made me afraid of.. uh.. evil clowns. Stupid cable on late at night.

Original Nightmare on Elm Street on IFC right now.

Finished, finally finished. I’ll send you the picture tomorrow before noon Matt. Thanks for having such a great contest.

As an aside, I lurked/posted occasionally a while back (try a few years). I remember a Marine or Army guy (US) posting from Germany. I can’t for the life of me remember who it is. Halp?

Phil, that would be Erik Majorwitz. Hasn’t been around in awhile.

Goob, Killer Klowns from Outer Space wasn’t ever on MST3K. They may have done a Rifftrax or Cinematic Titanic but Google doesn’t seem to think so.

I saw and was traumatized by Killer Klowns at an aunt’s house as a kid. Never had an issue with clowns before that, but that did it. Then I learned about Gacy a few years later and it got worse.

Thank you squee.  A couple people mentioned it but I think it might of just been a presentation of the movie and not an actual episode. Johnny_Von yes I have!  I read about him before online.  He has killed the most people in America.  I have always felt those people that smelled the stench from his house that later found out what the stench was probably had post traumatic stress disorder after that.  I know I would.  Another great movie is an American Crime.  It has Ellen Page in it.  That kind of thing fascinates me, if I were to apply myself I would go to college and major in criminal psychology.

almost anything involving serial killers is interesting, except ramierez.. i dont think killing a few people and cutting a pentagram in your hand should get you that kind of attention, as for the cotest my creation is complete!

Night owls: I don’t have to be in the office tomorrow, which means I can stay up very late, which means I am posting a new entry before going to bed, which means you can read it if you’re going to be up all night like Rhonda Shear.

Thanks Goob. I’ll try that. =)

Matt, I’m up way past my bedtime listening to your jukebox and reading all the posts I missed this week and I just wanted to tell you to never go away, because I love you.
