Setting Up the Game

Ask your friends to create a short film, 5 minutes or less, about something related to Halloween and bring the DVD to your party.

Be sure to let them know this is a contest and that they will be judged on creativity, quality, and audience scoring.

Here are some ideas to help you and your friends!
-You’re in a bathroom but you can’t get your costume off fast enough
-You’re the only one at a party without a costume
-The costume you ordered was the wrong size
-Your take on a classic scary Halloween tale
-Scaring the pants off someone

If you’re getting a trophy, be sure to allow enough time for delivery before your event.

Playing the Game

Watch all the videos with everyone! After you’re done, pass around the scoring cards. Tell the audience to vote based on creativity, quality, and how much they liked the film. Also tell them not to write their names on their voting cards.

Tally the votes using 3 points for 1st place votes, 2 points for 2nd place votes, and 1 point for 3rd place votes.

The film with the most points wins! Announce the winner to your audience and cheer loudly!!!
