AOL RED INVITES TEENAGE FILMMAKERS TO ENTER ITS ANNUAL HALLOWEEN SCARY MOVIE CONTEST

Scary Movie entries will be judged according to three criteria: setting, acting and originality. AOL RED will select the five top semi-finalists and post the videos online before asking RED users to vote for their favorites. The person whose film receives the most votes takes home the grand prize. The winner will be announced on Halloween. One lucky winner will receive the grand prize, an Apple® MacBookPro laptop computer (2.16 GHz) with a 15.4" screen and a copy of FinalCut Express HD 3.5 video editing software. One First Prize winner will receive a Sanyo Xacti VPC-C6 digital video camera and an 80GB Apple® iPod. And one second prize winner will receive an 80GB Apple® iPod.

“Last Halloween, our talented audience sent us movies that were scary, funny, creepy, weird or completely off the wall … we love that!” said Malcolm Bird, Senior Vice President, AOL Kids and Teens. “Now we challenge teens everywhere to get creative, have fun and show us what you’ve got.”
