From Carl's post
Congrats, Carl!
First the overview, then this week's theme and contest rules
I have been straining my leash to wait until September to start this series, but I will run 8 contests through the season. one contest a week. I'll be aiming to make the contests lead into the holiday gradually.
You may write fiction for any contest, as long as it is marked as fiction, and fits the contest theme!
Future contests will include:
- Real life horror stories
- Hollywood horror (TV and movies)
- Costumes and make-up
- Haunted houses (commercial entertainment sites) and/or decorating your own house
- Halloween stories (open writing)
- Real life encounters
This week's contest (#2)
The next contest will cover party planning, so you have time to see others' ideas and to whip up a badass party of your own.
Will you decorate your yard? Are you going creepy or cutsie? Describe any games or contests you will hold? What are your drink ideas?
Give us your party plan, or write a good story about a Halloween Party!

Rules and Entries
- If a rule is confusing, just ask on any thread
- Write a post that suits the contest theme and post it to your blog
- You may use material you have written before, but only once throughout the series.
- Link your post in these comments; a summary is not required, but will attract more viewers, an illustration will attract even more!
- I'll allow a fiction entry in ANY category, so as long as that entry is marked as fiction, at the beginning, and otherwise matches the theme of that week's contest.
- You MUST reSteem the contest post; I want lots of entries, lots of Halloween posting to Steemit, and a bigger payout for the winner
- The contest ends at the end of the payout period
- The winner is the blog-link comment with the most votes (so make sure you post your entry to your blog and comment the link here!)
- Any downvote on an entry is immediate disqualification (other than mine own)
- Winner will be announced via the next contest thread.
- Prize is 10 SBD plus all SBD accrued to the contest post
This is different than the method by which I ran my contests last year; the week long payout period enables folks to submit later in the week, and still have a chance to win
