You know what I did this morning? I got up early and read a hundred and seventy separate comments about the survival horror you guys remember. No, I didn't skip any. I read them all. While it did take me quite a while, I think this contest was a bit more fun for me than most of the ones I run for the site. Of course, that's a bit biased because I love survival horror ... but also because it was kind of like sitting around the campfire with all of you and hearing how it all started for you when it came to loving horror. I really liked that.
Anyway, enough nostalgia -- you want winners! The video above was by far among our top picks, made by Snoogans775. Other winners were Elsa, for her mention of Carrier (nice one!), Qraze, who made his memories of fear into an inspired rap, Neveryll for his story about Infocom's The Lurking Horror, Bubamacko for his Photoshop horror entry, and also RoryKO, ScaryHairStudios, Phantomile, AngelEena, Yaobikuni, Biowisp, and FatherChesz. Congratulations to all of you! I'll be emailing shortly to get mailing addresses from all of you.
If you didn't win this one, make sure to check out the Rocket Riot contest for new opportunities to win free stuff from Dtoid!

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

thanks dtoid and everyone who took time to participate and thank you Collete.
Also, Colette, you have a lovely singing voice, you really should sing more often. :)
I just love Destructoid! The personal touches (like Colette reading all the entries herself) really makes it feel like family here!
Yeah, but I'm pretty much a Survival Horror Noob (so I'd be lying if I made an epic poem/video about the 25 minutes I've spent playing the genre), which is why I tried to go out of the box and talk about why it didn't stick with me after RE2 in hopes of getting a game that could prove what I'd been missing these past 11 years. Oh well...I'll definitely win the next one
Too bad I didn't win anything. Oh wait, I didn't enter the contest.
Unrelated but is there any way for users to edit/delete their own comments? Like say you make a contest entry but screw up the image links and want to fix em?
But i wonder how many people who won this have Wii? :D
I didn't have one either but i was planning to find someone who had a Wii in case i win,lol :P
Next time...
