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!

I’m thinking if I shave a jack-o-lantern in a polar bears ass I better get honarable mention.  Of course RailPirate will have to accept it on my behalf.. due to me being mauled by the polar bear.

I wish I had some spare time to do this. Dammit.

Im not so sure that I will survive the Missy-o-lantern either! Noteworthy however is the fact that I was gonna paint, not carve the artwork.

Chestnuts roasted by RailPirate @ 09/27/2008 6:50 PM

RailPirate: I’m thinking that is a good decision. As well as increase your chance of survival.

Someone at the grocery store had a Freddy Sweater on.  But he was all emo and annoying and probably didn’t know how cool the sweater is (I own one too, of course), or is wearing it “ironically,” or uses it to staunch the blood from his emo cuts and the tears from his AAAANNNGSSTT. I wanted to kick him with my freddy shoes, but alas, he’ll have to wait till I get them next week.

I know what I’m carving, and it’s going to be lame. But I’m amused.

Slick- Yeah, maybe I’ll just carve up a melon like ULTRAMAN, seems a lot safer, Lol   Hows Gotham city anyhow?? I know you opted to save the denizens….

Chestnuts roasted by RailPirate @ 09/27/2008 7:03 PM

RailPirate: I’m getting ready to leave work now to try it out. So depending on how good the game is this may be my last post tonight, good luck to everyone on the contest.

Happy SNT everybody! Can’t wait to see what you crazy geniuses come up with. Love Rebecca W’s work on the dancing Jason 8D

I’m going to buy one of those huge 600 pound pumpkins, carve it out, and then stand in it with a flare.

Chestnuts roasted by Razzy the Cat @ 09/27/2008 7:50 PM

There is nothing quite like Jason doing the Macarena.

I’d dig out one of the pears I just bought from the local farm market this morning, but I think I’ll pass on this one. I’m not crazy about horror movies. I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else came up with, though!

Hooray!! Another contest (I missed the first one).  I am teaching ‘Carrie’ in Secondary IV english right now, so I am making a PowerPoint presentation about the horror genre and the changes in horror film posters throughout the ages, from the 1950′s to the 2000′s.  Fun stuff.

Hey all, i’ve posted before but few and far between, however I’m always checking out this site especially during the holidays. Anyway, I picked up an AWESOME book today: ‘Zombie Movies’ the ultimate Guide by Glenn kay. So far it’s frickin’ sweet! Also, at Target I picked up some candy corn and at Walgreen’s (yea, it was a busy day) I got two of those pens Matt has on the site, Freddy and leather face ones. I think I’ll light my pumpkin spice yankee candle here and watch ‘My Bloody Valentine’ that I just got from Blockbuster.com.

Chestnuts roasted by John @ 09/27/2008 8:35 PM

If only Hssxxulllo Ussall were here to help me…. yup, I said his name – Advent is, literally, just around the corner!

“What should I carve? There so many things to carve. I could carve a pear, a pineapple a squirrel, or a cat or a special SPAM filled Halloween bat What could I carve, maybe Brett Favre What should I carve?”
