DEATH RATTLE & THE SPILL OPEN CALL:
For first hand accounts dealing with the unsettling, the horrifying,
the unexplained, and the downright spooky.
Have you had an encounter with a force that could not be explained? We are on the hunt for brave souls willing to tell their 5-6 minute first-hand accounts via Zoom for a chilling Halloween edition of The Spill: a live story-telling event. We are looking for stories that range from close encounters with hauntings, shadows that watch you while you sleep, the instinct that saved you from a potential true-crime incident, the depths of nature - whether an attack from a known documented species or a creature only known from the stories we tell one another, UFO sightings, nerve wracking experiences with people who had bad intentions, nautical horrors, an abandoned house that was never really vacated, a benevolent friend from beyond the veil, a recurring nightmare, or the monsters deep in the backwoods that claws within the darkness… if you have a tale to tell we want to hear it!
submit to tell your story:
email or dm a brief description of your tale to
deathrattlewriter@gmail.com or @death_rattle_writer_fest on instagram
5-6 minute story-telling slot DM or email with a brief description of your story to sign up for a storytelling slot. And if you have any preferences about your story and how you present information (i.e. having your camera off / username rather than your real name for anonymous purposes)
please let us know.
October 29th - 7pm mountain time
Online - Zoom

Costumes highly encouraged, spookiness guaranteed!
Rules for conducting yourself as a storyteller:
Rule # 1: The use of hate speech of any kind will result in immediate banishment. I.e. Racial slurs, body shaming, ableist, classist, homophobic or transphobic remarks or anything else that we define as hateful or racist.
Rule # 2: Each storyteller has 5 minutes to relate their tale. When your time is up we will give you a warning sound effect, which means that you have 1 minute to rap up your story. Please pay close attention to your time; sometimes it is helpful to practice beforehand to make sure that you can tell your whole story in 5 minutes or less.
Rule # 3: Have fun and be respectful to those that are willing to share with us!
