Eli Roth, the director behind "Cabin Fever" and "Hostel," held a contest for the scariest Instagram video over Halloween weekend and just named the winner, who'll get $10,000 and the chance to have their clip developed into a short by Roth's CryptTV digital network. Sorted under the hashtag #15SecondScare, the clips were all seriously creepy.
""I was absolutely floored at the submission quality for #15SecondScare," Roth told Tech Insider. "The production quality, the creative story telling - it was absolutely amazing. We got submission from all over the world and I think it shows just how creative young filmmakers can be in this format."
A winner and five more finalists were selected by an illustrious panel of judges including 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.
Read on to see the top six scariest clips according to the judges. But be warned: Some of these clips are pretty gory and graphic.
