Halloween Contest 2011

In a small town stricken by a horrifying pandemic, there were those that remained and fell victim to a fate much worse than death. These decaying corpses sought out the 'living' by roaming from town to town to satisy their insatiable appetite for human flesh!

Can anyone or anything stop these zombies from carrying out their mission of changing life as we know it or will we all meet our own fate by the hands of these dark creatures? Only time will tell. As Halloween draws near, be sure to look hard at those that look unearthly as this is the zombies favorite season to add victims to their cause!

Can you envision what our world would look like if it were ruled by zombies? It's time to let your creative juices flow and interpret what life would be like if the mission of the zombies was satisfied.

The year's theme: The Zombie Apocalypse
