We all know that with beauty pageants, the competition can get fierce. But with the Miss Horrorfest contest, the competition gets down right bloody. It's that time of year again -- the Miss Horrorfest 2007 competition has begun.

AfterDark's Horrorfest is a weekend long scream fest of "8 films to die for" where fans get to indulge in all things spooky and, once again, they're looking to crown a new Queen of Scream. Contestants can join this YouTube group and submit their video for approval and their chance to win. The winner receives $50,000, fame, glory, a year of exotic travel as the reigning Miss Horrorfest and, of course, a tiara to die for.

Show the ladies your support by checking out the videos, leaving comments and rating them with stars. The more views and the more stars a submission has, the greater the chance that she'll be Miss Horrorfest. To view all 2007 submissions, go here.

Check back often, maybe your favorite SuicideGirl will even enter the contest.

We will be posting the weekly highlights of the sexiest screamer's videos each Friday for your viewing pleasure.

Spooky Kisses
