  • Congrats to all the winners! What fun it was seeing our entry play on Halloween night on Chiller. I would like to thank Chiller for allowing this and also to Synthetic Cinema for the contest! Great fun all around and so many good films and talented people.

  • this was a waste, so many rules it's almost like watching the same stuff every time

  • Congrats to all the winners!!! It's very cool that twice as many films were chosen than expected. Looking forward to watching them on Halloween night! I really enjoyed entering, watching all the films and hanging out with all you horror fans. Cheers and Happy Halloween to all!!!

  • Congratulations winners! This was great fun for all I think. Looking forward to the NEXT ONE *hint hint Synthetic Cinema cough*

  • Congrats to all the winners! Lots of great submissions.

  • Congratulations to the winners! We had a blast shooting our short and viewing all the entries.

  • Monster Mash-Up Winners Announced...please visit the Synthetic Cinema website for details!

  • when are we going to know the winners and how are we going to know the winners??

  • @lightningfilms Good question. This is day 06 since Friday - the day they were suppose to announce it. Nothing yet.

  • Why isn't my film showing up? This is nuts!

  • Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who watched mine and wrote me about it so far. I appreciate all types of feedback. :) How else will I know if people are entertained?

  • "GASP!" is creeeeeepy, it has my vote!

  • my video gets removed from this sight everytime i change or edit my channel....very strange.....

  • We will be annoucing the winners next week. We were hoping to have the winners posted by now but with such a huge response we need time to go through them all to be fair. Thank you stay tuned!

  • @syntheticcinema YAY! :-)

  • Comment removed

  • @syntheticcinema Cool- thank you for the update!!!

  • @syntheticcinema Do you know when this week you'll announce the winners?

  • AHHHH its rediculous lol still nothing

  • The website says the winners will be announced on there today but they still haven't put anything up. Guess I'll have to keep checking it

  • I think this is exactly what they want us to be doing. It's suspense. It's all apart of the game. I'm pretty sure once the movies start airing tonight on Chiller they'll post the winners. They may announce them on TV.

  • @Dakotasnumber1fan I really wish I had Chiller!

  • I don't think I've ever clicked the refresh button more than I have today......

  • I don't have the Chiller Channel, please post if they show it tonight and someone record it!!!

  • Does anyone know when the winners will be posted? Or where exactly they will be? The suspense is killing me lol. I just really want to know who won

  • My condolences... ;)

  • Haha! My puppy- although he was eaten by the monster in the film- he runs off the porch to investigate... And, well, he meets his maker!

  • Comment removed

  • Haha- I can't even watch it cuz my puppy chewed the power cord to my TV!!!

  • @BeccaGT9 Wait a minute, was it your puppy....or was it the monster of Mercy Farm?

  • Banshee is at 8 and Sasquatch is at 10 Eastern Standard Time.

  • What time is the premiere? I'd like to watch it

  • You know, I just thought of something. Maybe they're waiting till tonight to announce it because Chiller has the big premier of Banshee and Sasquatch which are both Synthetic Cinema projects. They play back to back, so I wouldn't be surprised if they announce it then. Only a guess though...

  • @pastoralstudent Ah, good observation!  Maybe so. I hope so. I just wish we kind of knew so it wasn't this long waiting process.

  • Uggghhhh! The suspense is KILLING me!

  • @BeccaGT9 Right? This is crazy. I was for sure we would have heard by now! hahahaha!

  • @Dakotasnumber1fan I know what it is....the three of ours are so good, they are having trouble finding two more videos to make up the five. hahaha

  • @pastoralstudent Ha! I hope that’s true. You know, when I first uploaded the video I was feeling so cocky about it. Thinking about it – you never what people are going to go for. It’s all about the people reviewing it and what their interests are. I’m really on edge. I’m just surprised that it’s almost noon where Synthetic Cinema is located and we haven’t heard a word.

  • @Dakotasnumber1fan Yea, I know what you mean. Even if i'm not in the top 5 i still want to see what it is they are looking for incase I want to enter next year.

  • I'm dying here lol. Anybody know if they've announced anything yet?

  • @pastoralstudent I haven't heard a thing. I keep refreshing this page and their official page. I guess we will have to wait until sometime tomorrow.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the views of our "Night of the Grouper" short.  Yes it was painful to edit down to 3 minutes but that's what makes a good editor huh? It's a total learning experience and glad to be having fun. Good luck to all. And yes we made the monster costume ourselves: low budget=tape and paper maché. LOL.

  • Deadline for submissions was October 8th (postmarked). Thanks for supporting this competition. Starting the review process now! Good luck to all and tune-in to Chiller for the winners!

  • @syntheticcinema Aw man, I wish I had known it was only postmarked! I had some audio issues I could've fixed for my entry if I'd known I had the time. Oh well ... :)

  • @kdotfilms We thought the same thing...=/

  • @TRIWARProductions At least it wasn't just me! BTW, I watched your film and it's really cool. I love the look of it - I don't know what you shot on but it looks a lot like film. And the kid is great! :)

  • @kdotfilms Thank you so much!! We really appreciate the sediment, and I'll send your compliment on to Tommy, he is a phenomenal little guy!! You guys did a brilliant job too!! Loved your camera work!

  • THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED..are these late entries eligible?

  • Comment removed

  • Great to see everyone putting effort in their low budget horror shorts.

    "There is no budget like low budget."

    el oh el

    Lots of good competition. I enjoyed watching all of the videos and had a lot of fun filming "BAD DATE". If you haven't see it, check it out. Good luck everyone!

  • The submissions have been incredible, it's amazing to see so many people get out an operate a camera. Luck to you all!!! No matter who makes the top five? I think everyone did a spectacular job!

  • Check out "A Night Out" and let me know what you think. So far there's some prettysolid entries!!!

  • Hi Fellow Filmmakers - now that I finally finished editing my movie I'm enjoying watching everyone's shorts. Some of you guys totally blow me away - so much talent and creativity on here! :)

    Hope you all had as much fun making your movie as I did mine - and good luck to everyone!

  • Lots of great submissions. My favorite so far is 'Edwin'. Check out 'Troll' and let me know what you think.

  • I had a difficult time up loading my video. I kept on receiving error. I finally was able to succeed! please consider my video. thanks.

  • check out "through dead eyes" please

  • Not sure if it uploaded as a response... Here is the link anyways watch?v=vBp29S5hN9w and this is the title ROOTED - Synthetic Cinema's MONSTER MASH-UP ENTRY

  • So many great submissions. I'm proud to be amongst so many talented filmmakers. I wish everyone the best of luck.

    Please, check out our film "Don't Look Under The Bed" it's on the second page of all the video responses. Some of the videos get a little lost - be sure to check them all out! So many worth the watch.

  • Midnight, hold out just a little bit longer. One more submission is on its way but is presently lost somewhere in this weird video response wasteland.

  • I'm sorry, I Tried 10 times to upload my video response but it never worked for me.

    But I sent you a copy anyway. So I Will Withdraw mine if you wish.

    Good luck to all who entered.

  • Hey, check out The Death of a Banker. Its a short version of a 6 minute film I'm sending to some other festivals. The longer one also has a different soundtrack. I wanted to make classic Dracula movie, like the old Hammer ones. So, check it out and good luck to all of you guys.

  • Hey Synthetic Cinema guys... Can you see why I don't have a vid response up? I replied, but it isn't there anymore

  • We had a great time doing this and looking forward to watching all the other entries. We hope everyone likes our short movie, OUTHOUSE. Let us know what you think...

  • @SpectrumVid It was down right spectacular!!

  • @TRIWARProductions Thanks so much man. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

  • Good luck to everyone! The competition is pretty fierce and a lot of fun to watch!

  • We love chiller!! hope you'll love our video!

  • What's everyone's fav so far? I'm pretty big on Gasp, Mr. Stitches and Mercy.

  • It's been a lot of fun watching so many great entries. There is so much talent floating around here. It makes me look forward to the awesome horror films I'm sure some of you will have playing in theaters in the future. Mine is a little film called "The Loophole." I wish every entrant the best of luck!!!

  • @Sweaterface Agreed- what an amazing group of creative shorts- there is so much variation and concept here- we had a blast filming our "Mercy"... hope it does well in the final standings- Wishing everyone lots of luck as well!

  • Check my entry Untot! Hope you enjoy and good luck to everyone!

  • Definitely check out our short entitled The Wood Sprite.

  • @stevegrothaus Loved it!! Really unique guys!! 

  • @TRIWARProductions Thanks! Wow, yours was great! Great cinematography, good acting and story and directing and editing and well, just about everything else. Congrats!!!

  • It has to be on a data DVD correct? And Quicktime (.mov) is acceptable?

  • Comment removed

  • @HollywoodMvs As far as story and quality?? I'd say Mercy, The Initiation, Wanna Play, Ogre (was funny), and Attack of the Atomic Zombies from the Red Planet. All of those had unique qualities, there were quite a few more that rocked... but these were my favs.

  • @TRIWARProductions Correction... I think The Wood Sprite just took the Ogre's spot. *lol*

  • Comment removed

  • @HollywoodMvs Wow do I ever feel baited... I thought this was an honest quest for opinion vs a hidden springboard for self promotion. Luck with your short Dakota.

    Cheers!

  • I am trying to give a video response to enter but its not letting me....i'm kinda freakin out.

  • @pastoralstudent What do you mean it's not letting you? If it's not showing up right away in the video responses that's normal. It takes about half a day or so for it too.

  • @Dakotasnumber1fan I got it, that was it. Thanks dude.

  • Check out my film "Mercy"- lots of action, shot in very low-light conditions- stunts and great camera work- All shot for almost no $! Impressive!

  • Check out my Creepshow inspired film "WEEKEND RETREAT"

    It has Laughs, Gore,And Monster Action.Sure to entertain

  • Hey guys definitely Check out the *Alien Abduction* if you like Awesomeness and HOT GIRLS !

  • go watch DON'T LOOK UNDER THE BED!  sweet film

  • Awesome contest with great submissions! Synthetic Cinema International and Chiller Tv RAWK!! Check out our film "The Initiation"!!

  • You rock chiller!! Check out The Initiation!!! Our child actor lead was AMAZING (and walked miles with a fractured foot!!!)

  • I just submitted, the file was called "TAKEOVER COMPLETE DVD" Did you receive it as an entry?

    Thanks.

  • you guys should totally check out "bad date" i really enjoyed it.

  • For a $30 budget "Terror In The Basement" has a high body count!

  • do dvd's have to be received by Oct 8th or can they be postmarked by the 8th?

  • @stevegrothaus Not to answer for Synthetic. I think they've been REALLY busy. I've noticed they are not answering much. I'm pretty sure they have to be there by the 8th, because they are announcing winners next Friday. That doesn't give them much time. I sent mine out on Monday and had to overnight it - 20 bucks, because I knew it'd never get there on time. They got it today around noon. I suggest the same for you. A little security in knowing it got there!!

  • I've been swamped editing a Joel Wynkoop film and will be mailing my data disc Monday. It should get there on the 7th. I hope I make it in on time!

  • Can I enter more then one short movie?

  • How come my movie isn't showing up in video responses?

  • @MrWelschvideo I think the videos must be "approved" by SCI... and it _is_ Sunday.... :)

    probabloy no one at work today.........

  • @EFM57 I replied awhile ago bro, it was up there, now it isn't...

  • Comment removed

  • @MrWelschvideo - I see it on your page, but not in the "video responses" for the contest yet.. - well, maybe there will be a whole slew of them on Monday... :)

  • Comment removed

  • One more thing...Can we mjake lego stop motion movies to enter this contest? Or should it be live action?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @jasonturneronline thank you. I do think there are a lot of good ideas. I removed my comment. Yeah it is suppose to be fun. Ive seen some bad movies. and some really bad movies. Some have come out in recent years. Take a look at Chillers top 3 dare to direct contest winners. those are good. I need to start making more videos. Good video you uploaded btw.

  • @zunukoo Thanks! Haven't seen the vids for the other contest yet, I'll have to check them out....do you have one coming on here soon?

  • @zunukoo Removed mine as well....are you going to have one up for the contest?

  • I uploaded my video a couple of days ago. How do I know if you got it.

  • @dbon6038 I don't mean to answer questions for Synthetic, but your film is in the list of video responses.

  • @Dakotasnumber1fan Thanks, I tried looking for it but couldn't find it.

  • When I mail the DVD copy, can I send it so that someone at your company has to sign for it. Just so I know that it actually got there. Is that okay?

  • I uploaded our movie this morning and while i see it on YouTUbe and have a link for it, it isn't loading with the other video responses. Anyone have any ideas?

  • @accidentalheroes Give it time. Sometimes it takes a while.

  • Posted our short as a reply last night but still hasn't shown up on the video replies list. Tried replying again but it's no longer listed as a video I can reply with. I take it there is a bit of a delay?

    Thanks

  • When I edited my video, it was at exactly 3 minutes. But after uploading it, youtube is saying it's 3:01 long. Is that okay?

  • Got my response up, hope yall like it. I used just old footage I had and the provided footage. Would love some feedback on what yall think about the banshee.

  • @diabloogre911

    Your banshee is awesome!! And I enjoyed your video, best of luck to you!!

  • @lovescarymovies1 Thanks I appreciate it !

  • @diabloogre911

    Your welcome!! :)

  • That's Fine...no prob!

  • will you have to cut out a scene if it has a licence plate in it, or do you have the software to blur or blackbox it out?

  • license plate isn't a real problem...Chiller can blur

  • Can I submit my video on a DVD-r or a DVD+r? Along with my video response? It's on my camcorder tape, I am not sure how to format the video as an MPEG4 or wavefile, but I can put it on a standard DVD.

  • We finished filming this week- editing is pretty much done and audio is being worked out- hope to have the finished product up by Monday- to say I am excited is an understatement- I think everyone has done a great job in the contest and every artist has their own personal vision- I look forward to everyone's comments on our project and hope for positive feedback!

  • When submitting the hard copy on DVD, will a .mp4 file with MPEG-4 video and AAC audio be ok?

  • That would be fine...Thanks

  • Am I allowed to put my production name in the opening credits? It's not a real production or anything, just a name I use "Scatterframe pictures" wasn't sure if that was allowed of not

  • Put in what you like...if Chiller doesn't want the logo...they'll cut it unfortunately... thanks for asking.

  • ...we all know how horrible Ed Wood's films were but he should serve as an inspiration because he loved what he did and his passion for film making drove him to make more even though the rest of the world thought he sucked. the next great horror director could be in our midst, or perhaps none of us will ever see our name in lights but as long as you enjoy what you do, that's all that matters. not trying at all is what REALLY sucks. good luck to everyone!!! (and forgive the overly long response)

  • ...if that weren't true, every film would be the same and who wants that? not everyone has the means to make a professional looking film but i'm sure everyone who has entered is just as proud of their entry as any other participant and is worthy of the chance to be on television. in all honesty, there are plenty of movies on television that do indeed suck, but at the end of the day the fact remains, their movie is on television and mine isn't. so effort, on every level, must be applauded....

  • hey guys, this isn't a place to put down people's work. it's a place to celebrate what we all have in common--a love for horror movies. just because someone spends a longer amount of time on their film doesn't instantly make it better than that of everyone else. as with most stuff in life, the quality of a film is a subjective issue. some people think Titanic is the best movie ever. some might say the best movie ever is Critters 2. we, as people, all bring something different to the table...

  • @Sweaterface

    I agree with you on that. You hit the nail on the head.

  • feel free to watch, post or play any of my videos anyway you want to! I appreciate and enjoy Chiller!

  • @FromTheDarkPictures I watch chiller all the time and actually that is the first channel I check on when I turn on the t.v. :)

    You did a great job, and I love the black and white theme :)
