HAPPY HALLOWEEN to your...rather petrifying forum faces... (Paulski I'm really hoping that's a mask
) Jokes aside, I hope you're all having a crazy time at your super spooky Halloween PARTAYS (Dutchbeat you're not on the floor already are you!?
)
12 fantastically scary entries, 120 points given out, and the biggest Halloween hype in forum history (...okay so that bit might me made up but I'm staying positive). From a basic idea to this amazing turnout: thank you so so so much to all the entrants and voters and just EVERYONE who's got behind the SSSHSSC (I promise in the future I will name my competitions equally complex names- it's so much fun to see the variation of spelling in my PMs
) to make it happen.
But now it must come to an end *cries hysterically* *drowns in tears* *never seen again*
BUT DON'T BE DOWNHEARTED WE'VE STILL GOT THE WINNER TO ANNOUNCE! In the words of my Grandma: "Everyone's a winner." But in the words of me: "THE TOP 3 AREEEEEE:"
In third place.......with CALL ME STAN is the fabulous DIGGER72! Congrats digger! I hope you stop digging tonight and go out celebrating your bronze medal victory instead! Drinks are on you
In second place...oooooh it's so close.....it's FEAR ITSELF by the amazing CRYSTALSUZY! Crystal by name, diamond by nature- congrats Suzy and you know what they say (first the worst, second the best...also third the one with the hairy chest but we won't tell digger that one
)
So now the moment we have all been waiting for...it's time to find out which song will forever be the Fairytale of New York of Halloween...the scary anthem crowned SSSHSSC winner is.....
ZOMBIES ARE COMIN! By PAULSKI! I think we can all agree that it was such an incredible track, a very worthy winner, so now we bow down to the Jack O'Lantern king Sir Paul- or would you prefer Lord Ski? *fans with palm leaves and starts feeding you grapes*
I want to give one final
THANK YOU to all the entrants *hi 5s all round*, there was such a super high standard of songs, so much time and thought had gone into every single entry and there wasn't one I disliked! (This never happens!) Each one captured a different element of Halloween- new genres, themes and of course the super scary sound effects (I'm pretty sure Surge Emin Satanas is haunting all our dreams tonight!)
As a forum we've compiled a group of amazing songs that could make the greatest (and possibly only) Halloween compilation album out there: today the forum TOMORROW THE ITUNES DOWNLOAD CHARTS/SHELVES OF HMV/THE B SIDE OF A VINYL (especially for you Hardtwistmusic
)
Thank you all for being so supportive of every comp I've ever run, you must be so bored of me by now- I'm probably retiring soon though so don't worry...just as soon as IVE got my national insurance number
HAPPY HALLOWEEN and I hope you get more tricks than treats
LOTS O'LOVE
Jess
P.s. Sorry I like punctuation a lot. A whole lot. (Almost as much as I like Alan Starkie.)

If I have missed your song PM me immediately (I have spent all night partially jetlagged dancing at a german glow bowling alley, so mistakes are likely).
