The 13 Days of CREEPMAS

A reaction to the continuing incursion of Christmas into Autumn and Halloween, CREEPMAS is a good-natured chance for Halloween lovers to exact revenge by bringing some spooky good cheer into the holidays or, more appropriately, the Hallowdays

The MAKING CREEPMAS Creative Challenge

Inspired by the Drawlloween & InkTober drawing challenges, the #MakingCreepmas creative challenge invites anybody and everybody to make the holidays a little creepier by taking Christmas icons and putting a spooky spin on them.

Think back to what Jack & Co. did to Christmas in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and, more recently, what Michael Dougherty's "Krampus" did to Christmas toys - that's the challenge, in a nutshell! We want to see evil elves, terrifying toys and spooky Santas!

Draw it, paint it, photograph it, sculpt it, photomanipulate it, write about it - however you want to do it, each day of the 13 Days of Creepmas (December 1-13) has a different theme. Post your creations on your social media accounts with the hashtag #MakingCreepmas and spread the word using this page's link and the image below - this year, Christmas will be ours!

  9. These would make really great writing prompts... Inktober was also used for writing prompts on AO3, is it okay to do that with these?
