Posted October 20, 20159 yr http://i57.tinypic.com/34eazv5.jpg Hello and welcome to the start of an exclusive BJSC Halloween special! President Orlee welcomes you all to Terra Avium for this special occasion, yep they let us birds take the reign, lets hope this isn't a turkey ay? :o So the whole point of this spin off is to think Halloween so thus SCARY - so we are after the scariest, weirdest, unsettling, paranormal whatever entries you want. From camp costume trashy pop songs to dark ballads to just plain weird stuff, there is a large array of choices for you all and I hope you all enjoy this spin-off! So use this thread to CONFIRM your entry by sending me (Chez Werewolf for the purposes of this spin-off): Your country's name Artist and song title Link* MP3 Link (please don't ignore this one :x) (ideally YouTube or Soundcloud if available, and also would appreciate the actual link rather than an embedded video x) Now with all spin-offs there are rules and we don't want this spin-off to just be a contest of what's the most well known Halloween song, so there are a few rules with these entries: 01. Your entry cannot have charted in the top 10 in the United Kingdom at any point. Covers may be allowed, but only if they are substantially different to the original. So you can't send Thriller or Ghostbusters, sorry. 02. The artist must not have an Artist Forum on Buzzjack. So you can't send your back up of Disturbia or E.T 03. The artists cannot have a SIGNIFICANT FOLLOWING on Buzzjack (this will be judged on a case by case basis, but generally artists with album threads over four pages long and big popstars of the last few years would not be wanted here (I'm thinking Ellie Goulding, Marina & The Diamonds, Florence & The Machine, Years and Years, Lana Del Rey and other acts of that ilk x). This is just to prevent another widely known song/artist winning so there's a chance something inspired can win. 04. The song must not have been entered to a past BJSC, BJSC Spin off or Eurovision Song Contest. and finally 05. The song must in SOME WAY be linked to Halloween or something scary. This can be lyrically, visually or the song could just sound scary itself. Of course, there's not a huge amount of songs devoted solely to Halloween so it can just be a tenuous link to the dark, paranormal, macabre via the title, however please don't take the piss. For example's sake (most of these songs would be ineligible under the above rules) I'll list some songs that I personally wouldn't accept: Little Mix - Black Magic Take That - Relight My Fire/Could it Be Magic Ellie Goulding - Burn Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love Alphabeat - The Spell etc. X Factor can get away with this shit, but you guys can't ;o 06. All entries will be subject to inspection from myself and the Public Veto Panel - Pusheen & #psychic7. This is something new that is running with spin-offs in which the host and other non-BJSC mod peasants decide amongst themselves what will be vetoed with minimal help from the mods. I believe that this should be continuing with future spin offs and is done so the host can get some experience of the veto process, so the whole hosting experience essentially ;o I hope that's not all to daunting, but it's worth saying that me and my panel are likely not going to be overly strict, so if you have an entry that doesn't outright break the rules that you're not sure about, PLEASE SEND IT and I/we'll get back to you if there's any problems. 07. Not essential, but any horror film/TV scores or soundtracks and creepy instrumentals are very welcome! (I was always gonna say that wasn't I lol) I do hope I won't need to do any vetoes and we can have a fun, inspired contest that lots of people take part in, as that is what I'm after and I hope you all agree! A treat of a spin-off not a trick. tl;dr Anyway, GO, you have a week to confirm until 27th October 23:59, any confirmations after that time will not be counted yet may still be charged. Voting will be open the day after HOPEFULLY but if not, you can assure it will here by the 29th so we can vote over Halloween itself.

October 20, 20159 yr Sent! :D Really excited for this, sent something completely unknown but was such a good find.
October 20, 20159 yr I have my entry but I'm asleep now so will confirm tomorrow ~ Very excited for this 🎃
October 20, 20159 yr i've sent something by my favourite artist ever but it's definitely one of their more underappreciated songs so it's automatically my favourite thing i've sent to any contest
October 20, 20159 yr Sent in my song! Excited to see how this one will go down (though I expect it'll be something like a lead balloon).
October 20, 20159 yr Sent mine, hopefully nobody took it already, it's kind of obvious but genuinely one of the best songs EVER and my favourite Halloween jam, so I couldn't not. Bra sending his current BJSC entry.
October 20, 20159 yr Should I send a childrens tv theme tune which has lyrics relating to having magical powers?.. :lol:
October 20, 20159 yr Should I send a childrens tv theme tune which has lyrics relating to having magical powers?.. :lol:Pretty sure Selegend Godmez has a significant following
October 20, 20159 yr Author Should I send a childrens tv theme tune which has lyrics relating to having magical powers?.. :lol: I forgot to say but any horror film/TV soundtracks and scores are very welcome :heart: Thanks so far guys, I'm updating the list but rather intriguing selection so far~
October 20, 20159 yr I forgot to say but any horror film/TV soundtracks and scores are very welcome :heart: Thanks so far guys, I'm updating the list but rather intriguing selection so far~ I went for something different because it wasn't scary :lol:
October 20, 20159 yr I wanted to send land of make believe but both versions I wanted to send charted top 10 :( So I'm going with something from 2002 and it's not cheap at all.
October 20, 20159 yr I wanted to send land of make believe but both versions I wanted to send charted top 10 :( So I'm going with something from 2002 and it's not cheap at all. That's what I was going to send. :lol:
October 20, 20159 yr My song might seem obvious for me but I think it's the most perfect song I could have brought to the table for this. So uh, excited for this and things.
October 20, 20159 yr I hope no one's taken my entry! I went with a song that I seriously consider as the scariest/creepiest song of all time. So much so, that I won't even listen to it myself :') (and yes, it's used in a film!)
October 20, 20159 yr I was really torn between two songs in the end, both by artists I absolutely adore :wub: I'm hoping that someone else has sent/will send the song I didn't though, best bet is probably Iz if his song seems obvious for him :lol: So excited for this spin-off, i'm sure most of the songs will be amazing :heart: Edited October 20, 20159 yr by Goblindsey
October 20, 20159 yr Confirmed with something a little cheap but not as cheap as I was going to send! Also chez do you want me to send YouTube link over as don't think I did with my change of entry?
