Slasher Classics

Spooky film buffs, it's your time to shine. We want you to make the case for the best horror movie of all time.

What horror films must you rewatch every October? Which movies haunt you for weeks? And most importantly, what about the movie or the characters gives this horror flick a top spot on your list—is it the special effects, or a twist that keeps you on the edge of your seat?

Enter the Slasher Classics Challenge and tell us which iconic horror film is your all-time favorite fright. Please include the movie's trailer or your favorite scene so we can watch along!

For your story to be eligible, it must be between 600 and 5,000 words and adhere to our Community Guidelines. Stories published on Vocal and entered into the contest up until October 8, 2020 at 11:59 PM EST will be entered for consideration. Official Rules for the Challenge can be found here.
