What’s good video content?

  • Animation / bumpers / cutscenes
  • A tour of your zinemaking area / studio / sketchbook / zine collection / online zine store
  • A zinemaking skill you’d like to demonstrate
  • Trailers / commercials for upcoming hallozeens
  • Readings of your existing hallozeens, or of your favourite hallozeens, like how they read books on The Book Place (tbh, it would be magical to recreate the book place but it’s sticky institute)
  • Submit a pdf of your own hallozeen and we could find someone to do a dramatic reading of it
  • Adapt a hallozeen into a found footage horror movie
  • Cryptozinology: the secret life of zinemakers but they’re cryptids / only human-passing at zine fairs
  • Something else related to halloween/zines/zinemakers you are keen to record and send in
Hallozeen is where we make zines to celebrate Halloween. Make zines about whatever Halloween means to your eldritch heart. It's the twelfth year in 2026. You don't have to make a twelve themed hallozeen, I just like a mnemonic for which year I made zines. Midnight. The twelve days of Halloween. Dodecahedrons. Clocks. Twelve signs of the zodiac (ophiuchus erasure). But Halloween is the real star here. I bet you have strong feelings about something Halloweeny. And chances are you'll meet someone at Hallozeen with a hot take on a similar theme, so your zine better be specific in describing your particular predilection.
