The alien invasion comedy Hillbillies vs. Alien Chickens has taken home the top prize in this year’s Horror2Comic Contest.

The script from Nicholas Tana is described as a twist on the alien invasion genre, and centers on a vegan hillbilly who must team with a government agent to combat invading alien chickens.

Winning scripts in the Horror2Comic contest are made into comic books, and in turn are put into development as a feature or a TV show via Motor Content, the company whose credits include History’s Knightfall and the Michael Keaton feature The Founder. The contest has its origins as an offshoot of Script2Comic, which focuses on all genres, not just horror.

Scout Comics published last year’s Horror2Comic winner, She Bites, a story centering on a 134-year-old vampire trapped in the body of a 9-year-old girl.

“Our 2020 Grand Prize Winner She Bites (fka Vampire’s Babysitter) was one of the best-selling indie titles when it was released in 2022 and we just signed an option deal with a studio, showing that this paradigm of finding great scripts and making great comics works. We are excited about what we can do in the horror genre” said Don Handfield of Motor Content. (Motor could not yet reveal where She Bites was optioned.)

The judges for this year’s contest included Ethan Erwin (Dark Castle), Stan Spry (producer of Creepshow), Joshua Malkin (Cabin Fever 2 writer), Kyle Rankin (Writer/Director Night of the Living Debs writer/director), Asheliegh Snead (The Ranger on Shudder), Rider Strong (Boy Meets World) and Lauren Vilchik (Cabin Fever producer).

The winners are below.
