It’s never too early to get ready for Halloween, and Universal Studios is getting ready for their annual Halloween festival, Halloween Horror Nights 2013, with a cool “Design a Character” Contest.
Here’s the rundown on the contest. Universal is giving fans a chance to design and re-invent their own Universal Classic Monster and have it brought to life at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights! Create a detailed drawing or written description of your character design based on one of the iconic Universal Classic Monsters (Dracula, Werewolf, Mummy, etc.). The winner and a guest will be invited to attend the festivities in Hollywood, where their design will be unveiled at the red carpet opening night!
Make sure to enter your designs by July 1. You will be able to vote on the finalists featured on the Halloween Horror Nights Facebook page July 2.
