Congratulations to our Finalists!

Director Roger Gore established the Bloodflix Screenwriting Contest not only to find the best new horror screenwriters, but also to make the best new horror film.

Yes, Gore is really Roger's last name, as horror fans know from his landmark film "White or Dark," which remains unequaled in the fear and loathing it inspired. (Many moviegoers -- and most critics -- couldn't handle it.)

The five Finalists will be flown to Roger's home town of Baltimore, Maryland, for an intimate weekend retreat. Roger will announce the Winner, then he and the other Finalists will do a table read and offer notes on the winning script.

The cash prizes are $1,000 for each Finalist and $10,000 for the Winner. But the biggest prize is that Roger has lined up funding to produce the winning script: up to $10M.

ZOMBERG

Because they aren't embalmed, only recently dead Jews come back to life. Bad news for Neo-Nazis.
