Our winner, with a total of 11 points, is player number 49! To see how many points you received, please head on over to this page. 

A big thank you to everyone who put in the time to play this game, we really appreciate it! If there is anything at all about the game that you would like to comment on, please send us a message through our submit or through our ask! 

What did you like? What didn’t you like? Any and all comments are welcomed, as we want to know what we can do better if this is to turn into a full-scale event in the future! 

We’re down to three days until the end of this event, so we admins recommended all of you to put your resurrection role as something that’s fairly OP, as none of you have done so yet! 

We’re almost a week in, and noticing changes that need to be made here and there, which is good if we want to make a full-scale game. 

So in addition to the existing rules: 

Players cannot target the same person more than twice. There are more than enough players and for a time span of two weeks, there shouldn’t be any overlap in targets chosen by any one player! If you target the same person more than twice, you will receive a warning, and if you continue to target them, you will be removed from the game!

Written by: Sean Decker

Starring: Miracle Laurie as “Amber”, Lucas Jaye as “Little Wolf”, Lou Ferrigno Jr. as “The Werewolf“, and Luke Albright as “Jack“.

When the sun sets on October 31st, little ghouls, witches, and devils take to the streets – seeking sugary treats to eat. It’s always been proper Halloween etiquette, to have several candies readied for the various pales and bags, presented by the costumed masses. Over time – Halloween after Halloween – each house develops its own reputation: a) being a good one or b) a bad one. A good house may give out, if you’re lucky, some king-sized, chocolatey goodness, whereas the bad house may give out something lame; like a toothbrush (who needs one of those?). Well, suffice to say, lame treats get gnarly tricks, and in YUMMY MEAT: A HALLOWEEN CAROL… things get real gnarly.

As a WEREWOLF IN A GIRL’S DORMITORY lights the beautiful Miracle Laurie (Dollhouse), you are instantaneously aware – given the background film – that you’re in the hands of some major horror fiends. What better hands to be in, when taking in a werewolf flick. Werewolf films have been few and far between, mainly because of the difficulty it takes in nailing the tone – which such films as, SILVER BULLET, THE HOWLING and AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON were successful in. They embraced the campiness that defined the 80’s, and the sheer brutal, instinctual nature of the wolf. This is something that Yummy Meat is extremely successful in emulating, however stands on its own when it comes to its dialogue.

Written by the talented Sean J. Decker (L.A. Slasher), Yummy Meat is one of the most smartly written scripts to grace the short film format; the dialogue is snappy, witty, and hilarious. It takes on a standard three act structure (that’s right three acts) and does it with more style and panache, than most feature length films have to offer. It has the spirit of the 80’s, but the bite of the 90’s. Miracle’s character, Amber, is a strong example of that: presenting bold dialogue, and a strong female character. Calling back to the days of yore – when Sidney Prescott called Billy a “Pansy-Ass Mama’s Boy!” or when Buffy said, “I’m the thing that monsters have nightmares about. And right now, you and me are gonna show ‘em why” – Miracle adds her own dose of badass to the horror genre.

As our main character, settles into her glass of red wine, suddenly, she is visited by a lone little wolf. Lucas Jaye, as cute as he is, manages to embrace a fine line between eerie and adorable. Between his costume and the festive decorations – meticulously placed, bright orange, pumpkin bags, as well as a colony of black paper bats – this film is a celebration of horror and it’s favorite holiday; Halloween. Shot beautifully by Director of Photography, Nicholas Katt, the vibrant, macabre visuals displayed, welcome you into the dark world of the wolf – who is played flawlessly by Lou Ferrigno Jr. Lou does an excellent job of emoting and exploring the space, as the wolf. In the hero shot, where the wolf is fully revealed, he twists and contorts in such an interesting way – it reminded me a lot of the movement of some of the creatures from Clive Barker’s NIGHTBREED. Between Lou’s acting, unbelievable makeup effects from Julie Hapney, and outstanding creature effects by Dan Crawley – mask and claws provided by Immortal Masks – altogether, helps sell the heck out of the wolf.

The overall tone of the film was consistent all the way through and director John Fitzpatrick’s vision is clear: to bring back the fun in horror. This is exactly what Yummy Meat manages to accomplish. It doesn’t wish to challenge you politically or shove over-inflated opinions down your throat. It wants nothing more than to entertain you and terrify the heck out of you, all at the same time. Also, since I’m a bit of a score hound I just wanted to mention that the score is awesome. It feels like a homage to old school, drive in horror films and adds a wonderful pace for the images presented. Overall, this dark, macabre, adult fairy tale manages to engage you and fulfill you, all within it’s 5 minute timeframe. With a solid foundation, in Decker’s script, mixed with a solid vision, in Fitzpatrick’s directing, makes for some definite Yummy Meats.

Truly Disturbing was there for Yummy’s big screen premiere, on Sunday October 18th, covering the black carpet. One thing is evident, after talking with the cast and crew, and that is that the Scary Endings group is a tight knit outfit. They trust each other completely and are extremely dedicated to making top of the line entertainment constantly. Blood, Sweat, and Tears are put into everyone of their projects and the end result speaks volumes. Here are some photos of the amazing people involved with Yummy Meat, along with some shots from the Q & A that followed.

Well there you have it everyone! Please share this film with all your horror loving friends, as well as werewolf enthusiasts.

If you are killed, there is a cooldown period of 24 hours. For example, if you are killed on night 1, you cannot submit another form until night 3! Following this example, if you submit a form on night 2, it will not be counted! 

On the form, we ask once what your current role is. For examples sake, you answer Witch on the first night. The last question on the form asks that in the case that you are killed tonight, what you would like to be resurrected as. Let’s say you answer Dragon. On the first night, you are a Witch. If you are not killed on the first night, you continue onto the second night, still as a Witch. Your role does not change unless you are killed, and it is only when you submit your form during night 2, that you can change what role you want to be resurrected as! Let’s say you were killed on the first night. On night 3 however, you would not say that your role is a Vampire, because during the first night, you said that if you were to die, you would be resurrected as a Dragon. Therefore on night 3, you will be a Dragon. 

And just a few more little things in general:

Messages about specific things such as “you have been put to sleep” or “you have been doused” will be sent out after 10pm so that we can try to avoid sending each user multiple messages.

Deaths and people who have been protected will be entered as we receive the forms, but the full list of all participants will not be entered into the status page until after 10pm. 

We will not update the status page between 12am and 12pm, just to give each player a good amount of time to check that they are alive before submitting another form. Please keep in mind that if you see that your player has been killed the night before, do not submit a form until the day after! 

Also remember that even if your name appears somewhere on the status page, there is a possibility that it can be changed as the results come in!

Points are being counted every day, and we will keep track of who is getting points and how many.

Hey guys! We have finished sending out all the numbers, with the exception of a few. If you did not get one, it is because you had no submit box :( (Gonna have to remind you to TURN ON YOUR SUBMIT BOXES XD)

But I just want to clarify that the event starts on October 17 12 AM EST. If we see anyone filling up the forms before then we will DELETE those entries as they are considered INVALID. D:

Can’t wait till the event! :D
