"SCARY GOOD FILM COMPETITION"
ANNOUNCED AS THE ENTERTAINMENT CAPITAL OF L.A. PREPARES TO UNLEASH HALLOWEEN
HORROR NIGHTS 2009
Universal City, Ca, September 28, 2009-- Chiller and Universal Studios
Hollywood announce the winner of the 2009 "Halloween Horror Nights-Chiller
Scary Good Film Competition," which offered filmmakers an opportunity to
have their scariest short film rewarded with a broadcast on Chiller, a
$1,000 cash prize and a trip for two (2) to the October 2 opening night of
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood.
"Bedfellows," submitted by Drew Daywalt of Oak Park, California,
was selected as this year's winner by Internet voters who visited
www.HalloweenHorrorNights.com/Chiller to pick their favorite
among a field of ten finalist films.
Prospective filmmakers were invited to submit short films of 90 seconds to
three minutes in length. A panel of horror industry professionals, including
"Saw VI" Director Kevin Greutert, Syfy's Executive Vice President of
Programming and Original Movies, Thomas P. Vitale and Universal Studios
Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights Creative Director John Murdy, first judged
the pool of entries, narrowing the field to ten. Criteria included
storytelling skill, originality and the degree of the "good scare."
Writer/director Drew Daywalt says he knew he was destined for a life in
horror cinema ever since he was a child in Ohio, staying up late to watch
old horror films. Since moving to Los Angeles, Mr. Daywalt has written and
directed features for Quentin Tarantino's A Band Apart, Tony Scott and Jerry
Bruckheimer. He spent the last year writing and directing 30 terror-filled
short films for the critically acclaimed Horror Troupe FEWDIO.
This year's all-new "Halloween Horror Nights" at Universal Studios Hollywood
will feature four new maze experiences including "Saw: Game Over,"
"Halloween: The Life and Crimes of Michael Myers," "My Bloody Valentine: Be
Mine 4 Ever," and "Chucky's Funhouse," six new "scare zones," a new live
stage performance of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show: A Tribute," as well as
a fully re-imagined "Terror Tram" backlot studio experience. The all-new
"Halloween Horror Nights" for 2009 will be the most intense and terrifying
"live" horror event ever to be presented in a theme park environment.
"Halloween Horror Nights" will continue on consecutive weekends and selected
weekday nights beginning on Friday, October 2 through Halloween, Saturday,
October 31. Event dates are: October 2-3, 9-11, 15-18, 23-25, 28-31. The
event will begin nightly at 7:00 p.m.; closing hours vary by night
throughout the event. Tickets are now on sale at
