As we gear up for the recently announced release of Episodes from Liberty City for PC on March 30th, which will fully support the Grand Theft Auto IV PC in-game Video Editor suite of tools, we’re happy to present this roundup of winners from our last Social Club TV Video Editor Contest: Horror.

After combing through all of the eligible homemade horror flicks, we would like to be the first to congratulate Tr.Donk of Belgium on producing the winning entry, "The Devil in Her".  Tr.Donk wields the in-game Video Editor to chronicle the murder and subsequent ghost-riding rise from the dead of a restless doctor out for revenge in Liberty City.

"The Devil in Her" by Tr.Donk

For his triumph, Tr.Donk nets a WD VelociRaptor 300 GB SATA Hard Drive kit, perfect for storing a personal Social Club TV video collection of downloads.  In addition to the hard drive, Tr.Donk will also receive a deluxe prize pack of rare Grand Theft Auto IV gear.   

Our two runner-ups, WARL0RD and Sniper3359, created a pair of genuinely creepy and atmospheric clips and will be awarded with a Grand Theft Auto IV prize pack for "Halloween" and "Prizrak Kazino" respectively.
