ntries must be suitable for general, family audiences.
If it's too "frightening", would it be disqualified?
I'm not sure if my film is for the contest. Would a film with zombies in be
suitable for family audiences.
As long as their heads don't explode with huge amounts of realistic-looking blood, I think you're in the clear.
Fright and terror in a brickfilm is rather hard to pull off... 
You know, Nosniborus's Frankenstein actually gave small children nightmares.
When I saw that, I remember occasionally peering around the room. I'm a bit childish. 
The increase in amount of voucher mouney in the second prize annoys me, I'd of got an extra 50% had the prizes been like this the first time round.
Despite this, the theme is awesome, good choice

Yeah I know. I dunno how a lego figure getting stabbed is really scary.
Well thats six year olds for ya.
EDIT: I wish Nosniborus would be online more on bricksinmotion.
Would it be OK if I used a story I heard before? I don't remember if it was made up by a friend or a short story I read. I also only remember the basic theme of it, so it won't be totally copied, just similar.
I think I'll be making a trailer for something I'll(hopefully) make once...
I'd note that the main reason for these restrictions is that the contest sponsor wanted them. So we're asking people to try to stay within reason in making entries family-friendly, but can't be sure precisely where the sponsor draws the line. My understanding is he didn't have an issue with fancypants' "The Game" winning last time.
make one?
Wow... A brickfilmer without a youtube account? Never thought I would see that. (no offense) 
Who doesn't have a youtube account?
OK, so it turns out I will be entering this due to awesome ideaness.
I'm about to start scripting! 
Would an alien ancounter work?
Peobable as long as it's a scary scene, and I'm just starting on the perfect idea for mine... *Evil laugh*
Gore isn't allowed but the theme is fright

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Think about it; gore isn't scary. Sure, it's gross, and it makes you uneasy, which I guess could add to a spooky atmosphere, but if you had a movie that was just gore, without any story, atmosphere, or anything, I doubt it would be very scary. Be creative; don't use gore as a crutch.
