Basically, you are to give us the spookiest and most horrifying stories you could come up with. It must be original and written by you and not by anyone else.
Whether they are witty, satiric or down right scary, it doesn't matter so long as the main theme is also incorporated together in the stories. They could be anything and do not have to be Halloween related. It could even be something you have been through yourself!

Yes, of course. The maximum number or words allowed in an entry is 400 words. Less words used are fine, entries past 400 words will be rejected.

You could enter a maximum of two(2) entries. If you have many ideas brimming, pick your best two to give us!

You could also submit poetry in addition to stories. Stories typed in script format should be avoided.

While I am not so particular about grammar and spelling errors so long as the entry could be read and understood well, it is preferable that there are as few mistakes as possible. Poor grammar and spelling does affect the impact, mood and flow of what could otherwise be a good story.
