Contest is over

Results:

First off I want to thank everyone for joining, some great tracks were made and these mixed in with some others will definitely have produced substantial content for a Halloween Campaign, which we all will love to see next month. It was a close one as far as the contest goes, and I had to weigh out which tracks I felt were the best overall and fit the bill as far as subject matter. Im proud to present the winner of the contest... Blair Witch Project by AntiSocial. Congratulations. Here are the other results:

1st: Blair Witch Project by AntiSocial https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/466887-blair-witch-project - Showed the movie very well and was without a doubt the best track overall. I loved the racks and the cabin most notably.
2nd: It Follows by Zycerak https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/467652-it-follows-horror-ce - Probably did the best job of showing content from the movie, definitely was a hard decision to make deciding who won with this one. The beginning of the track is great, along with the settings from the movie displayed elsewhere in the track.
3rd: The Babadook by Reborn https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/468573-the-babadook-hce/uploaded - The small bits referenced from the movie such as the condition of the book and the bowl of worms was icing on the cake. I love how you made the setting transform.
4th: Texas Chainsaw by xwinx https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/466470-texas-chainsaw: Great stuff here and content from the House of Horrors from Texas Chainsaw.
5th: The Mist by Ness https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/467802-the-mist - Really cool stuff and references here.
6th: Goosebumps by awesomeman82 https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/466092-goosebumps-horror-ce - I love all the references and remember most of them from my childhood. The books and the show were great.
7th: The Purge by ItsColinGuys https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/468581-the-purge - Not as dark as it couldve been, but I like how you displayed the setting
8th: The Blackcoats Daughter by Ishu https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/466426-the-blackcoats-daughter - Pretty cool drawings
9th: The Teacher (Pink Floyd's The Wall) https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/465624-the-teacher - Great drawings but the lack of connecting lines and emptiness hurts it.
10th Uzumaki by bungo https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/466374-uzumaki - Showed references well, but alot of it just seemed not well done

AntiSocial PM me about how you want your prize.

The campaign is going into revisions, if you want to add something late, next few days to a week is the time.

Intro

Hello it's pssst here and welcome to another contest. Longtime players and users of the game are aware of the various campaigns that didnt come out (Video Games, Trials, Etc), one of those being the Spooky campaign, which was aimed at boosting traffic and interest in Free Rider during the Halloween season. Nothing came of it, but I always found the idea interesting, especially being a Horror buff myself. So I propose an alternative to produce a themed, Halloween campaign, the Horror Contest, where horror films and such will be reimagined and brought to life using Free Rider as a medium.

I know this seems a bit early for this contest, because this contest could just as easily be held in September or October, and it would seem more reasonable to the casual user, but thats not the goal. The goal is to be able to have a group of 10 tracks up for a Halloween campaign starting mid-September, which after a brief conversation Char signed off on and essentially endorsed this contest. For that reason, it will be done early. And I believe this process could set a trend for seasons and campaigns to come.

Rules

The track has to be based around Horror film television/film, video games, manga, etc. This could be horror classics like Halloween or Friday the 13th, foreign horror like Ring and The Grudge, or even dark cartoons like Courage the Cowardly Dog and Grim Adventures. However, the show or movie you're doing must be posted here first and cannot be done if someone is doing the same show or movie (sequels however are allowed if distinctly focused on the sequel, rather than the franchise as a whole), because it would be boring if we had 7 Nightmare on Elm Streets and 3 Texas Chainsaws aka everyone doing the same movie.

The deadline for the track is the Sept 1st/2nd midnight EST. Entries may be considered for the ultimate goal of being in the Halloween campaign the week after, if they meet a uncertain timeframe as far as development, but any submissions not in by that date and time will not be considered as far as the contest. Unlike contests before this where the contest was strictly competitive and constructive criticism/insight was not given until the end of the round/contest, it is recommended in this one that you share your work with others, such as a fellow competitor, someone else or even I will if I have the time. And on that note, multiple entries are allowed, I understand its hard to be motivated on a single track for a long while, in this case, almost 2 months. So I propose possibly making a preview or two of the finished product or bouncing around a few ideas with feedback straight from the database community, because in the end the campaign will be made for them.

Prize

A prize will only go out to the winner, I will buy and ship a T Shirt and DVD/Blu-Ray (i.a.) of the show/film they chose to them. In example, if someone chose the Exorcist:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

(Or receive the money I would spend in whatever form they choose, in this case it'd be around $40)

I'm fine with those willing to donate, but I wont take responsibility for those.

Notes

~The campaign is meant to appeal to the normal user so don't make anything too difficult
~Obviously, old tracks are not allowed, but I would like them to be posted here as reference for how its been done before
~Don't think of it as being too hard, because all horror movies start with a setting, once you put the setting down it'll be easy to add the pieces
~Don't be afraid to ask for ideas/advice
~Don't let this game occupy too much of your time, if you need to take a break, its always something you can come back to
~I dont expect anyone to be working on the same track for 2 months, if you think its finished in a couple weeks, a few days, don't be afraid to post it, and if based on feedback you feel like you should add more, do that. Or have a new completely different idea, do that.
~This thread might go dead in a week or two. I'll try my best to keep discussion, motivation and inspiration afloat in and outside this thread.

That was the longest and most fundamental sight of this explanation of the contest end ever and yet it has been purely too late for us to participate in that contest.

Sounds like a great contest but I don't really watch much movies at all, so I wouldn't be able to pick one and draw based off of it.
