DVXFest - Scare FEST - OFFICIAL RULES

Hey mods/admins- can the line of dialogue be written? For example, it appears as a text message, as an advertisement on a computer screen, or is otherwise visible on screen for a portion of time?
 
They are still accepting entries. This would be good for those films you aren't entering into any more fests or are maybe just sitting on YouTube.
 
Yeah, but they're better off for extending it and I think they just want to give awayt their new Torch LED light. I got a reply back. I think people aren't reading the language posted on the site, a lot of legal.
 
Yeah, I questioned them about the 'never been published' bit and they said ignore it, its just legalese. I'm sure they are just looking for entries and they do want to show the films on their website.
 
I'll take any publicty I can get, lol. I think this whole part " The month of October is full of creeps, blood, guts and bumps in night. You have Halloween, haunted houses and an immeasurable amount of horror films. While some of these seasonal blessings are great, they only last as long as the candy corn and those delicious marshmallow pumpkins. Not horror films;horror films transcend through every season.
Independently made classics like Halloween and even more recent, and soon-to-be classics like Let the Right One in for example, have and will influence filmmakers, probably forever.This contest is more of a celebration of the genre and the filmmakers than anything, but all is not right in the world of "horrodom". The genre demands fresh blood to continue and you're the victim.
We want this contest to lampoon new and rising filmmakers in hopes of bringing the horror genre back from the dead (all puns intended) but we need your help."

Really sold me on doing it. Cause I agree. I grew up watching bad B movies and now that I watch these new horror films out now...I have to say I miss the way they were once made.

If they're into, I'm into it.
 
What is the min running time? if any.

Also, where do I upload the completed film and when do I post a link to it in the scareFEST scare room thread?

DVXFest – Scare Fest – Official Rules​
  1. Make a scary movie that is 6 minutes (or less) and does not exceed a hard R rating (if you are unsure, ask first).
    1. 6 minutes and 1 second is a disqualification
  2. You must use a DVXuser sanctioned leader as the first moving images in your film.
    1. Leaders available at: www.dvxfest.com/leaders
    2. You only have to use the visuals (included audio not required)
    3. The use of the leader does NOT count against your 6 minutes
  3. You must use the following line of dialogue somewhere in your film: “Halloween Sucks”, or, "Don't go in there", or "I'm scared... really freaked out right now"
  4. You must use original or licensed material in your film. Failure to do so will result in disqualification. DVXuser (or its partners) assumes no liability for copyright violations. We will make a good faith effort to identify any and all copyright violations in submitted entries.
Scare Fest Run Dates​

  2. You may promote your film (and dvxfest in general) on, or outside of, DVXuser. Please do not register to websites simply to spam links to your fest entry. Utilize channels and communities you are already involved in. “Spammy” behavior will be grounds for disqualification.
