Show Us Your Scares!
Last chance to enter our home haunt and costume contest
By Richard Whittaker, 3:30PM, Tue. Oct. 27, 2020
Time is ticking down to Halloween, and you've got even less time to enter our costume and yard display contest. So, no tricks: how's about we sweeten the deal with some extra treats for the horror-loving home haunters out there?
Yup, screens editor Richard Whittaker (that would be me) has reached into his own archives and put together a special prize pack for the best home haunt, featuring 13 extra-spooky films perfect to keep the chills going after All Hallows Eve, plus a bundle of horror-themed movie memorabilia, all straight from the archives. If that hasn't enchanted you enough, there's a special runner's up prize, grabbed straight from the DVD and Blu-ray stack with a couple of extra spooky (and extra-spooky) surprises in there.
Don't have a yard? Then send us your best Halloween costume photo. We have all kinds of treats in our candy sack, sponsored by Zip Lost Pines, including the grand prize of a weekend staycation from Springhill Suites by Marriott (San Antonio Northwest at the Rim). The winners will also be featured in our Halloween weekend issue - but you have to get your entry in today, Oct. 27.
All you have to is send your hi-rez photos to halloween@austinchronicle.com. You can find more details on our contest page.
