When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls … Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. Welcome, foolish mortals, to the October AnimChallenge...MONSTER MASH! 
It's time to steal yourselves away into your labs and create the spookiest animation creation the online animation community has ever seen! This month, we have a crypt full of goodies for you! Read on, Children of the Night...if you dare!

JOIN OUR DISCORD SERVER

 

How do we find our winners?
We are a group of professional animators who each vote for their favorite 3 shots. Each one gets points; the shot with the most points wins. We base our vote on the animation quality, storytelling, originality, composition, and more. Render and lighting are not important but appreciated.  

Can I copy a shot that already exists?
You can't copy the work of someone else, if you do it for learning purposes, you can post it on the Facebook group if credits and a link to the original shot are in the description.
