For this challenge we're celebrating the spooky season by playing the SPOOKIEST GAME ON THE VCS.... Savage Halloween is a modern take on the classic 8-bit run and gun with an awesome Halloween theme. From the dev: Every year the monsters are invited to the big 24hr Halloween rave, but this time no one came home, as an evil vampire used a spell to block the passage back to the afterlife because, according to him, the party could not stop. Among the guests, James, a farmer who had his eternal rest interrupted, took his shotgun and decided to end the riot. Join the resistance and send everyone home. No one can handle so much noise, goo and werewolf hair on clothes anymore. Join us in this special Halloween edition of the Club VCS Squad Challenge by choosing your character and blasting these monsters back to HELL!

This works just the same as the main squad challenge. Just jump in and post your best high score throughout the month. The "rounds" relate to a contest giveaway and can otherwise be ignored.
