We’d like to do some crowdsourcing for the Miscellany in Codex – Blood 2. The Miscellany is called “Three-Dozen Direct to Video Horror Movies.” Entries can be any tone, from funny to weird to scary. Submissions do, however, need to follow this precise format:
NAME OF FILM (RELEASE YEAR). Summary: A short summary of what the movie is about, which should include the name and description of the killer. Best Kill: The goriest, funniest, or most ironic kill from the movie (please avoid rape-y stuff).
By submitting here, you’re agreeing to let us use it (you’ll get a credit on the issue). The purpose of the Miscellany is to inspire the reader.
Here are some examples:
