More about #15SecondScare:
The competition launched last week, and the submissions will be judged by a celebrity panel: Quentin Tarantino, music producer deadmau5, “Key and Peele’s” Jordan Peele, High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens, Enter the Void director Gaspar Noé, Paranormal Activity producer Jason Blum, and Roth himself.

The project is being backed by CryptTV, the digital genre network co-founded by Roth and Jack Davis. The winner will be announced on Halloween. They will get a $10,000 check and the chance to have their work turned into a short by the team at CryptTV.

#15SecondScare is the latest original digital franchise from CryptTV, which previously produced the first ever Snapchat murder mystery. Full contest details and regulations can be found on CryptTV.com.
