2023 contest news – we do have entries!!!

Hello all,

In my last post I lamented the fact we did not see any entries at the close of submissions October 31. I was corrected by our technical guru who explained “a number of submissions were made late Oct 31 but were being transcoded by the platform, (to allow delivery to multiple devices, in varying screen sizes valid for multiple browsers), and because they were buffered were not reported.”

These entries have been reviewed and approved for released and are now online. We will be commencing judging in the coming weeks to announce on November 30! Apologies to participants and thank you to Erica at Advanced Technologies Academy who notified me about submissions.

Stay tuned and until next time, no nightmares!

2023- 10th Annual contest – Announcement

Good morning all,

Regrettably, for our for our 10th year, there were no entries.

This may be a result of a failure on our part to manage our social media presence and promotions. Be assured we will return in 2024 for our 11th contest. We are especially motivated as 2024 will be the Chinese year of the Dragon.

Please stay tuned for future announcements.

Until next time, no nightmares.

2020 Winner “Writer’s Block”!

Good Morning Fright Fans,

I am pleased to congratulate this year’s winner “Writer’s Block”, written and directed by Tyler Kraft and his cast and crew Timothy, Talia and Kevin! The movie builds suspense and has comedic interludes to create a campy horror winner!

We also wanted to mention our runner up “Night of the Asymptomatic Carrier”, written and directed by Cathy Vandewater. This is a great short that pokes a little fun at the current times, pointing out the seriousness of the pandemic, in a fun lighthearted take on zombies.

Many awesome entries this year and I want to take this moment to thank and congratulate all participants. As producers, we fully understand and appreciate the work and effort that went into each and every production. We thank you for your participation and look forward to seeing you all next season!

Until next time…

No nightmares!
