HD resoution sized Poster for an indie Horror game title called "Murder Castle" in digital file format. The premise of the Game is to survive the night within a Victorian Hotel of Horrors as a demented Doctor slowly hunts your down and experiments on you using Victorian style instruments. Each room has hidden death traps.The time period is 1890's chicago with added steampunk elements. This splash screen will be used as the title opening for my kickstarter video. Use of Victorian era fonts and themes are encouraged.

Updates
Hey Fellow Designers, I have provided a link to a Flickr acct that gives the best idea as to the type of style and Victorian Era content. Please use them as Reference and if your wish, as Placeholders but they cannot be used directly for the Final Design due to Copyrights. Therefore your Designs need to be Original but can be influenced by these reference images.

It appears that the deadline for this Contest actually ends on Thursday, October 09, 2014 2:46 AM AEST (Australian Time). This means that although it's Wed, October 08, 2014 here in the USA, I did not know that the time Zone was actually AEST, since it does not list that on the website.
Thanks for everyone who entered this contest and I will provide you with the Winner shortly.
Best Regards,
