Somewhere between a séance, a scream and that one friend who takes costume parties way too seriously lies the FACE OF HALLOWEEN, an all-new online spectacle rising from the crypts of Face of Horror. This isn’t your grandma’s costume contest (unless she’s buried under your floorboards). It’s a digital stage where horror fans from every dark corner of the country can compete to become the next great Halloween icon.
At stake: glory, gore and a gruesome grand prize package that includes $13,000 cash, a paranormal investigation with Kane Hodder, some ridiculous meet-and-greets with horror icons and a feature in RUE MORGUE–yes, the horror bible itself. But at the (still-beating) heart of this competition? A mission that hits deeper than any jump scare.
SCREAMS THAT HEAL: HORROR FOR A CAUSE
FACE OF HALLOWEEN isn’t just about feeding your inner monster–it’s about bringing light to kids who face very real ones. Through this year’s competition, Colossal (the professional fundraiser powering FACE OF HALLOWEEN) proudly supports the Starlight Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit that delivers happiness to seriously ill children across the U.S.
Founded in 1982, Starlight brings moments of magic to hospitalized kids across the country. From gaming stations and gown makeovers to unforgettable play experiences, their programs are designed to empower and uplift children facing serious medical challenges. Learn more at starlight.org.
THE FINAL GIRL BECOMES THE GUIDING LIGHT
Presiding over the frightful festivities is none other than Jamie Lee Curtis, horror’s patron saint and eternal final girl. But she’s not just here to lend scream queen clout. As Charity Host, Curtis shines her spotlight on Starlight, a cause she’s supported for decades.
Starlight provides healing through play, whether that’s custom hospital gowns that turn tiny patients into superheroes or state-of-the-art gaming consoles that let kids escape to fantastical worlds. For children facing the real monsters of illness and hospitalization, these moments of joy are everything.
One FACE OF HALLOWEEN champion will meet Curtis to see the campaign’s impact–and the power of horror–as a force for good.
ENTER: THE KILLER LINEUP
You can’t talk horror royalty without invoking Kane Hodder. The man behind the mask of Jason Voorhees returns as the competition’s Supernatural Host, guiding the champion on a ghost hunt that promises chills, screams and probably a few things best left unmentioned.
Joining the team is cult favorite and full-time fan whisperer Matthew Lillard, whose scream cred (Scream, Thirteen Ghosts, Scooby-Doo) makes him the ideal Cinematic Host. His role? Offering exclusive behind-the-scenes commentary and an intimate meet-and-greet for the crowned terror.
HORROR SCHOOL IS IN SESSION
Beyond the bloodshed and bravado, FACE OF HALLOWEEN is also serving up rare access to horror industry insiders. Expect exclusive workshops, expert tips and plenty of behind-the-scenes magic for those hungry to learn how the monsters are made.
And the best part? Every donation vote directly supports Starlight’s mission to bring light to some of the darkest days in a child’s life.
Whether you’re a latex-and-fangs traditionalist or a TikTok terror in training, this is your moment to carve out your legacy in Halloween history.
