CAPTAIN SLINKY PRESENTS ODDMALL EMPORIUM OF THE WEIRD “ULTIMATE HALLOWEEN MIXTAPE CONTEST” OFFICIAL RULES!

This is an easy one, and you could win TWO EARLY BIRD ADMISSION TICKETS TO THE SNOCO TOY 7 COLLECTIBLES SHOW November 11-12 in the building right next to Oddmall at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA! All you have to do is make THE ULTIMATE HALLOWEEN MIXTAPE!

(A Mixtape, kids, was how Gen-X slid into somebody’s DM’s before we had DM’s – a micro-playlist of songs hand picked for the recipient by the Tape Mixer)

There are GAZILLIONS of Halloween Songs out there, but pretty much every Halloween Party plays the same 10 or 12 songs over and over again. They’re the songs that go on EVERY Halloween Mixtape, Compilation CD and/or Spotify Playlist. You probably have at least 5 or 6 of those songs in mind RIGHT NOW! And that’s why this is gonna be Easy-Peasy, AND Lemon-Squeezy!

The red bar below that splits THIS part of the page from the numbered Rules Of The Contest is a Spotify Playlist of 100 hand-picked Halloween Classics (or you can just search Spotify for “Oddmall Halloween Mix Challenge”). All you have to do is pick the TEN SONGS on this list that I, Captain Slinky, have decided comprise the ULTIMATE HALLOWEEN MIX TAPE. The absolute essentials that pretty much everyone can agree are on the vast majority of Halloween Party Mixes. Then take your ten songs and put them in the order you think I would put them on my Mixtape. Send your numbered list to me at csoddmall@gmail.com with the subject line “Ultimate Halloween Mixtape”. The person who comes closest to MY Mixtape wins! And that’s it! Winners will be notified on Halloween via Email, which is also when we we will arrange for you to get your tickets!

And for your convenience, here is a list of all 100 songs so you don’t have to listen for 6 hours if you don’t want to 🙂

  1. ONE ENTRY PER PERSON! I have no way to verify multiple entries, but if I find out you entered more than once you will be disqualified and possibly even publicly shamed so you’ll look like a fool in front of your friends and loved ones!
  2. Two different winners will each win one pair of “Early Bird Admission” tickets to The SnoCo Toy & Collectible Show that is the same weekend (November 11-12) in the building right next to us – a $20 value! These tickets get you into the show before The Masses so you can get the best deals before anyone else!
  3. The only prize is the tickets. Not exchangeable for cash from Oddmall OR SnoCo Toy Show. Just enjoy the toy show, or give the tickets to a friend who would enjoy them!
  4. Contest is open to EVERYONE, including vendors and Oddmall staff as I, CAPTAIN SLINKY, will be the only person who knows the proper ten songs and the proper order that you are trying to match, and I have a REALLY BAD MEMORY. So, like, once I write them down and seal them in an envelope? Somebody will have to remind me where I even put the envelope.
  5. Tickets will be left at the SnoCo Toy & Collectibles Show Check-In for you if you are the winner. You’ll get an email with a special “Password” that you will need to say in order to pick them up, but it should be easy-peasy!
  6. Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird is not responsible for lost or mislabeled entries. In the case of a tie, winners will be chosen at random from the tied entries.
