Trick and Treat Challenge

OH! EEK! AHH!!!

Sorry if we seem a bit spooked — our team has just spent the past week reviewing thousands of spooky, scary effects submitted for the Trick and Treat Challenge.

We were charmed by the incredible creativity, originality, and quality of these Halloween effects. From ghoulish games to creepy characters, these effects are scary good.

Congrats to the winners of this year’s Trick and Treat Challenge!
