Sarah Michelle Gellar

Competition: Your scariest story

We are looking for your scariest horror story. Creep us out and win yourself a shiny iPod, to sing you to sleep.

Afraid of the dark? You should be. Not only could you easily stub a toe, there are plenty of hidden corners in which baddies may lurk. No one knows this better than Sarah Michelle Gellar who rose to fame by hunting the creatures of the night as Buffy, the vampire slayer. She’s back in a new supernatural thriller, The Return, which is in cinemas right now.

To celebrate the movie’s release, we want your chilling tales.

Send us your most frightening brush with the supernatural, or your most spine-tingling ghost story. We will print it here and you will get a chance to win a limited edition The Return Ouija board, mug and t-shirt and a 2GB iPod Nano.
