For this week's Vine challenge, turn your favorite childhood books into scary stories.

Transform Dr. Seuss into Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Curious George into Monkey Shines. Or, make The Very Hungry Caterpillar a very vicious monster and Junie B. Jones face bigger fears than school bullies.

You can animate directly on the pages of your book, or act out the horror in a mini skit.

The theme is in line with upcoming movie The Babadook, which will be screened for our first ever MashFlix on Nov. 20. We introduced the new online and offline film club a few weeks ago. Below, watch an exclusive clip of behind-the-scenes footage from the film, featuring an interview with writer and director Jennifer Kent.

Follow the MashFlix Twitter account for updates on upcoming screenings and contests.

In our example Vine, we gave Wee Bear a little more to worry about than his trip to the doctor.
