That baby’s mom is super ugly

All of you aspiring horror directors should take note; a sequel to the 2102 anthology “The ABCs of Death” is in the works and once again the producers are running a contest to find one of the short films that will make up the movie.  In case you’re unfamiliar with the concept, The ABCs of Death is broken up into 26 segments about kittens death.  Each segment is shot by a different director and has a theme connected to one of the letters of the alphabet.  When The first ABCs of Death was being made, the producers (Drafthouse Films) ran a contest to find the short that would represent the letter “T.”  The winner was this weird (and NSFW) claymation video entitled, “T is for Toilet.”

This promo gives an entertaining explanation of how the contest works.  Warning: Like most video contest promos this one opens with a shot of a very loud screaming skull.

I’m not really a horror guy so I’m probably not going to enter this one.  But I do like the concept so I figured I’d mention it.  This contest offers filmmakers a nice excuse to go out and shoot a high-quality short horror film.  So even if you lose, you still walk away with a decent film that you can send to festivals and add to your reel.  The deadline for this one is Halloween so you’ve got plenty of time to shoot something fancy.  Head here to read the official submission guidelines.
