This miniball isn’t for the faint of heart… 
This year the girls are bringing you Halloween with a twist…. 
We want to see those Halloween characters that made you hide under your covers when you were a child come to life on the runway…. Were talking Freddy, Jason, Candyman , etc. So,…..are YOU afraid of the dark?


------ NO EFFECT MEANS AN AUTOMATIC CHOP!!!! -------

PERFORMANCE






***MINI GRAND***  Performance - Best of each the battle for cash!

VF vs Dramatics - Though it wasn’t a movie, lets not act like the mini movie Thriller didn’t scare the crap out of us all when we weren’t jamming to the song. Bring it like a character from the video & spook the judged out before you make them GAG…..(1 trophy)

VF- Bring it like a zombie
Dramatics- Bring it like Mike AFTER the full Moon ;)

FF vs Women’s - I dunno what made Texas Chainsaw Massacre scarier, the fact that it is based on a true story, or the fact that the family is still out there chopping bodies up…. Ladies, recreate the look of the look of the hitchhikers in the ORIGINAL 70’s classic or face being chopped up as well…. (1trophy)

Twisters - Candyman was one of the craziest, most scary movies of the 90’s… and made you never want to be locked in a dark bathroom alone ever in your life. Bring it to the judges in your best candyman look then twist it out! (1 trophy)

FACE
***MINI GRAND*** Best of each 3 battles for the cash!!!!

FF perfect 10s - If you are a TRUE horror film fanatic, then to mention the film “Black Christmas” should send a chill down your spine. Ladies bring this 70’s film back to life by recreating The main Character Jess Bradford. (Realness, face AND sex appeal WILL BE JUDGED!)
