Master of suspense Wes Craven has been orchestrating horror for more than four decades. Now, you have an opportunity to get a little payback.
We want you to create a super-short horror movie — 30 seconds or less on the theme of "young genius." Craven will announce a winner on the show.
The deadline to be considered for our challenge is 11:59pm ET March 2, 2014.
UPDATE: The winner of our contest is Jake Jarvi for his film ...Jake.
See Wes Craven's shortlist here.
“I was really impressed and entertained by all that I saw,” says our judge.
Thanks to everyone who shared their work with us!
Based on true events: A man in a drunken stupor, gets kicked out of a local bar and messes with the wrong subway performer.
