HOME RUN INN PIZZA INSPIRES CHEESY FLEDGLING FILMMAKERS TO CREATE CHILLING TWO-MINUTE HORROR VIDEO

Frozen pizza company to award $2,500 cash and Ultimate Halloween pizza party,
ten finalists score video cameras and free frozen pizza for a year.

Woodridge, IL (August 25, 2009) – In celebration of Halloween and October’s National Pizza Month, Home Run Inn frozen pizza invites the next Spielberg or Tarantino -- or the fun-loving family next door -- to submit a two-minute original horror film starring Home Run Inn pizza in the second annual Halloween Video Challenge.

The winner will receive $2,500 cash and an Ultimate Halloween pizza party for his/her friends at home with extravagant Halloween decorations, Home Run Inn pizza, soda and paper goods for 25 guests (approximate retail value: $5,500). Ten lucky finalists will flip over Home Run Inn pizza for one year (12 frozen 12” pizzas), and a new Flip Video Camera (approximate retail value for each finalist: $235).

The contest runs from August 31 – October 18, 2009, and then the second round of voting for the ten finalists begins with the grand prize winner announcement on 10/26. For rules and how to enter, visit http://www.HomeRunInnContest.com.

“It’s scary how creative pizza lovers are based on our launch of this contest last year in Chicagoland,” said Gina Bolger, Home Run Inn Director of Marketing. “We hope to celebrate National Pizza Month and America’s favorite food in a spooky and fabulous way: by capturing the nation’s love for pizza on film. Like great filmmaking, quality pizza is an art form, and there’s no better way to show your creativity than by entering or voting in this video contest this Halloween.”

Entrants are encouraged to be freakishly creative by using music, humor and other unique elements, as long as you use Home Run Inn pizza in the movie (see website for guidelines and official rules).
