Hallowinners!

November 16, 2009

The time has come, the votes have been tallied, the goosebumps have faded from our arms, it is time to announce the winner of the Telltale Halloween Contest '09.

And the well-deserving, well-intentioned and nonetheless terrifying winner is...

Grand Prize: Sexy LeChuck

With twenty-three votes, Mariana Funes wins a console of her choice which she MAY wish to paint gold to commemorate this incredible event and one day show the grandkids how she sculpted seductive LeChuck in her wilder days. Make us proud, Mariana. We expect at least 15 of these to be shipped to us ASAP.

Runners-Up!

Who else do we love? Just about every entry could be categorized as "the coolest," but we narrowed it down to a few lucky submissions with some fierce after-hours debate.

Grog Jars by Glen Fernandez

Max Pumpkin Ball by Tiina Hautamäki

Monkey Island Trailer by Nicolas Mendrek and Co

Telltale Halloween Party by Elisa Pavinato

"Useful To Boot" as covered by Rosaire

Download it (Right-click, Save as)

These lucky people get their choice of Strong Bad, Monkey Island, Wallace & Gromit, or Sam and Max gift packs from our store, and of course everlasting love and admiration from the world wide web. Welcome to E-Fame, my friends, you deserve it!

Honorable Mentions!

But wait, there's more! We just couldn't let these amazing entries slip through the cracks:

Nightmare of MI by Dominus, Telltale Comic by Daniel Rubinstein, and Sam y Max by David Clark

Max From Above by Robert, Guybrush Threepwood Sculpture by R Erickson, and Crochet ToMI by Dilara Arin

Since these people are the bee's knees, we're giving them a Tales of Monkey Island poster from our store, so they can paint it gold and ruin all aesthetic value therein. A trophy is a trophy.

But how could we not show off the special offering from Suro, Andrei, Mihai, Martin, and Majus? Feast your eyes and cursors on "Halloween Contest - A Point & Click Adventure!" Download it here (83MB), extract the .rar file with your choice of un-zipper program, then point-and-click the night away!

There were so many incredible entries, everyone had their favorites and they all deserve a little something. In appreciation of the vast effort and creativity displayed to us, we're giving each participant a free Telltale episode! You guys are the best.

There. Halloween is officially over. You may continue your regularly scheduled November.

	Yaaaay! Poster!! Thank you Telltale! How do we go about giving our address? (we moved recently so the old one used in the ToMI pre-order might not match).
	Comment by Silverwolfpet November 16, 2009, 1:53 pm

	congrats to everyone. nice lechuck, murraytza. i would ask what gave you the idea, but i'm afraid of the answer i might get:D
	Comment by November 16, 2009, 1:56 pm

	The C.O.P.S song was amazing! Also, the Sexy LeChuck was amazingly disturbing!
	Comment by Bobbin November 16, 2009, 1:56 pm

	Silver, do Majus and (other name I have forgotten) get a poster too? Or do you cut it in fourths?
	Comment by Ribs November 16, 2009, 1:57 pm

	StLouisRibs - Of course we'll split the poster in four parts! Just like the Big Whoop Map :D
	Comment by Silverwolfpet November 16, 2009, 1:59 pm

	Congratulations to all the winners! For those honorable mentions, that wouldn't be a free...signed...poster, by chance, would it? Maybe? Pretty please? :-D
	Comment by BlankCanvasDJ November 16, 2009, 2:00 pm

	Silver, do Majus and (other name I have forgotten) get a poster too? Or do you cut it in fourths? They get hugs. Like BIG hugs.

	Comment by Ribs November 16, 2009, 2:10 pm

	Yaaaay! Huuugs! :D:D
	Comment by Silverwolfpet November 16, 2009, 2:11 pm

	Also, isn't it weird how only one thing on the entire post doesn't relate to either Sam and Max or Monkey Island?
	Comment by Ribs November 16, 2009, 2:16 pm

	Crochet Guybrush with velcro hands. That's just awesome, I want one.

I'm honoured! ) Now if I just could be able to choose from all these gift packs! Oh, decisions.. :D It's going to be tough. Congrats to all the winners! :)

	Yay an honorable mention!! But you spelled my name wrong(Dilara not Dilia)! heheh.. A ToMI poster's great news though, it was on my wishlist for xmas! And Sexy LeChuck is awesome, you should make a whole set of the "beach look" of all characters! Crochet Guybrush with velcro hands. That's just awesome, I want one. yeah, i ended up playing with the velcro hands all day after it was finished :D

	Comment by Tower November 16, 2009, 2:56 pm

	Fantastic stuff! Congratulations to the winners and well done to all. Such a creative and talented community! =D
	Comment by Scrawffler November 16, 2009, 3:20 pm

	Great entries, all of them. Especially liked the game and Useful to Boot cover, but the winner is completely understandable. Now, all this exposure to nikasaur is forcing me to ask a question which I'd been holding in for a while: What is your avatar of? It looks 16-bit and/or awesome.
	Comment by HappyCoincidence November 16, 2009, 3:28 pm

	Congrats to the winners!
	Comment by spaghetti016 November 16, 2009, 3:35 pm

	The 1st place is so incredibly well-deserved! I also LOVE the grog jars and Crotchet Guybrush and OMG a crop circle Max! Just awesome, all of them :)
	Comment by miffi November 16, 2009, 3:40 pm

	Congratulations to all the winners!!! :) Especially to the maker of Sexy LeChuck, which I now see in all his glory for the first time. Yikes! :D But seriously, you deserve it! Wow, you guys kept a lot of awesome entries from us. I'm TOTALLY in love with those Grog Mugs!! =) Cheers to the guys at Telltale for mastering this challenging decision - and for giving us all free games! YAY! :)
	Comment by BeeKay84 November 16, 2009, 3:49 pm

	These are all awesome. I should have entered. Better start working on a submission for next year.

	Anyone got their free game code yet?
	Comment by Ribs November 16, 2009, 4:08 pm

	But...what about the onion????
	Comment by Mendrek November 16, 2009, 4:48 pm

	It'll be a little while before we can pump out the codes, we're hard at work with invisible tasks that you are surely less impressed with. Keep your eyes peeled and your inboxes open for the next few days!
	Comment by nikasaur November 16, 2009, 5:43 pm

	well, ilike the winer job, but i think i like more "max pumpking ball" and usful to boot is an amazing the image , that Rosaire shuld work with you. xD

	Comment by Paloma November 18, 2009, 3:29 am

	Lol, Guybrush dressed up as rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle!
	Comment by Lennie Melvin November 18, 2009, 9:45 am

	y were my entries never shown :( http://picasaweb.google.com/karar2k/MaxPlushie#
	Comment by karar November 18, 2009, 10:40 am

	Glad that my pic of Max was put up on Day Three but not happy that my bigger project was not even mentioned. I made a Teen Girl Squad audio file based on halloween for the contest. Some of the voice acting is really bad and inconsistent but I thought it would have at least been in the honorable mentions... If anyone wants it, download it from here... http://sites.google.com/site/cheatsfordailylife/home/other-projects/TeenGirlSquad!HalloweenEdition!!!.mp3?attredirects=0&d=1
	Comment by Toby the Intolerable November 18, 2009, 12:21 pm

	Many thanks to Telltale, just downloading my free episode of ToMI now! Looking forward to the next competition :D
	Comment by MonkeyGlitch November 20, 2009, 1:22 pm

	Congratulations to all the winners - really great stuff. Guybrush as the rubber chicken is absolute genius, and LeChuck shall haunt my dreams. I was wondering though, were could I get those steins?
