Sign-ups

Hi there, and welcome to the Hungry Ghost Title Challenge!

This is a low-pressure challenge that works in the following way: When you sign up you'll receive a title randomly picked from an old anthology horror series. You then have to create a work of any type that's inspired by and has that title.

Titles will be taken from the following anthology series:

Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955)
Hammer House Of Horror (1960)
Night Gallery (1969)
Tales From The Crypt (1989)
Tales Of The Unexpected (1977)
The Veil (1958)
The Outer Limits (1963)
Thriller (1960)
Twilight Zone (1959)

If you have a preference for one of these, please say so in your sign-up! Otherwise I will randomly pick both the series and the episode/title.

If the title you receive doesn't do anything for you, just ask for another! You can also ask for more titles if you'd like to create multiple works.

The deadline to submit your works to the AO3 collection is at 23.59 GMT on the 24th of August. It will go live at 00.01 GMT on the 26th of August, the end of the traditional ghost month, where people will float water lanterns to help guide the ghosts back to the underworld.

Please see the FAQ for more information, and don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear!

[kinetikatrue]

I might prefer Twilight Zone/Outer Limits/Tales of the Unexpected for sources, but if the picker would like to give me something else, I'm probably willing to see what its first pick is before ruling the rest out entirely!

[galerian_ash]

The picker went for The Veil, specifically "Vestris". I'd be more than happy to run it again with just those three series, so please just let me know!
