Horror film Kentucky Fried Horror Show Announces Call for Entries for the “A Day of Greasy Horror†contest!
Deadest Contestant to Win Speaking Part and Trip for Two to the Premiere.
Los Angeles, CA (rushprnews) October 4, 2007 – Kentucky Fried Horror Show, the much anticipated motion picture that stars Scarlett Pomers, Brad Dourif and Playboy model Rachael Robbins, set for shooting spring of 08’, already has such a massive 500,000 and growing fan base, that the producers are thanking their fans with a death wish contest.
Currently the filmmakers have over 13,000 submissions from people all over the world who want a chance to fake their death before the cameras. The director, C.L. Gregory says, “It seems that the desire for pain and death is not at all dead. But also, fans want to have fun expressing their darkest sides.â€
The winning contestant will be rewarded with a speaking part in the film, but to win, he/she must first die, or at the very least demonstrate a gory imagination. The contest has also drawn its share of critics who believe the filmmakers are glorifying violence, since participants must write a short paragraph on how they would kill someone or personally die, in detail.
The bloodier and gorier they can kill or die, the better the odds of winning are for the contestants. Executive Producer Rik Walters states “This is a worldwide contest to thank the fans of Kentucky Fried Horror Show and for those that are passionate about horror films.â€
The contest, which began September 25th 2007 at midnight, seeks to capture what many independent films are fighting for today – the imagination of the public and consumer spending. In a market that has become oversaturated with horror films, not to mention the lackluster past summer at the box office for the horror genre, the producers of the Kentucky Fried Horror Show are betting that they can change the tide with their latest endeavor – and by the sheer numbers they are already doing just that.
Over 500,000 Europeans have already have signed online petitions to premiere the movie in the U.K. and by the current count the numbers are only rising for this film that has yet to shoot a single frame.
In a time where some are calling for congressional intervention against the growing number of horror films depicting violence, the makers of Kentucky Fried Horror are hoping that horror fans will jump on board and be their darkest when it comes express their violent fantasies.
The contest is simple;
One Grand prize winner will have speaking part in the film, attend the premiere with their family and receive a cast signed copy of the script!
To win the prize, contestants must write a short paragraph of death and mutilation and send pictures of the reenacted scene.
5 Lucky winners will be allowed to be on set for filming and meeting the cast of the film. They will meet Director and Writer, C. L. Gregory, who will give them each a signed copy of the script.
The winners, along with a guardian or parent (if under 18), will travel to Kentucky for the ultimate Horror fan’s dream holiday. The grand prize includes return economy air fare for two from the nearest international airport to the winner’s home, 2 nights accommodations, airport and hotel transfers, and 2 passes each to the Kentucky Fried Horror Show set (approx. value $5000 U.S.)
The online contest began Midnight, September 25th, 2007 and will close on December 31st, 2007 at 11:59pm (Contest Period) and the winner will be announced on January 13th, 2008.
