About

So many of God's creatures have been used to gruesome, horrifying effect over the decades - rats, spiders, giant centipedes (HBB's very own 'Pede!), crabs, rabbits, frogs, slugs, worms, myriad members of the insect class, and so many, many more... Our challenge is for you to create something wholly unique using creatures that have been featured before, those who have not recieved a mention thus far (killer koalas, anyone?), or some hideous, creature of your won design - which ever way you choose, make it blood-curdling, terrifying, and as scary as Hell!
