How Entries Are Judged...

The following is the criteria by which the Alameda-Haunt Your House! entries will be judged.  Scores will be rated on a scale from 0 – 5

(0 = none, 5 = outstanding)

1)  HAUNT FACTOR -  does your entry evoke a spine-tingling, spooky, eerie feeling?

2)  CREATIVITY – how much of your entry is hand made vs. store-bought?

3)  ORIGINIALITY – how is your entry unique or unusual?

4)  THEME – how well does the title of your entry follow through to the actual display?

5)  STRUCTURE – how well did you incorporate your home, front yard or business into the display?

6)  LIGHTING – is it impossible to see your entry or does the lighting dramatically enhance the Haunt Factor?

7)  SOUND – is there no sound or did you effectively incorporate sound to enhance the Haunt Factor?

8)  ANIMATION – are there no moving props or did you effectively incorporate moving props to enhance the Haunt Factor?
