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!

"Three's A Crowd" is your title, best of luck!

I was hoping you'd get an episode starring Vincent Price, what with your very apt icon, but alas! Your title is "The Closed Cabinet", good luck!

[galerian_ash]

Yay, that makes me really happy to hear! :D

Glad you think so! Your title is "Sounds And Silences", best of luck!

[galerian_ash]

Can I get two titles? Any series is fine.

[tehexile]

Hi, I'd like to sign up. Any series is fine.

[galerian_ash]

You certainly can! Good luck with "The Changing Heart" and "No Way Out"!

[galerian_ash]

Hi there, your title is "Strung Along". Good luck!

[sweety_mutant]

I am sorry but I am afraid that title doesn't inspire me much - at least not for the fandoms i usually write in. May I ask for another? *,*

[galerian_ash]

No worries at all! How do you feel about "The Painted Mirror"? If that doesn't inspire you either, we'll give it another try! :Db

Many Thanks.

[galerian_ash]

Thank you for taking part! ♥

[sweetsorcery]

Oh dear. I don't think even luck would help. Sorry to be difficult but could I, possibly, request a less... "murderous" title? *facepalms*

Please yes I would love to sign up!

[calliopes_pen]

Thank you!

[galerian_ash]

"Guest For Breakfast" is your title, best of luck!

[galerian_ash]

Heh, yeah, I can see that title being tough if you had your heart set on writing something that wasn't horror-esque! Your new title is "Deliveries In The Rear", does that work better for you?
