Before: First impression based only on your screenshots indicates you might have made things a bit too soft. It lacks strong definition in your screenshots and just looks too clean. I'll post my post-play reaction in a second, but just for first impressions, you might wanna spruce up the definition of your textures. Darker darks and starker brights, etc.
After: I have to say, certain textures in this truely were amazing. Particularly the wood and planks. However, I didn't find any of it creepy really, and I can elaborate my reasons. The things which cause the best fear are rooted in suspense, and so fear is most often not of the known, but of the unknown. Your textures, particularly the stone textures, lacked suspense. It might seem unfair to expect suspense from textures, but the best way is darkness, and your stone brick in particular was too soft and light. The stonebricks were too blended and understated. Your cobblestone suffered similar problems, though not so severe. One texture you did supremely in this was in fact your sand, which looked like baked desert earth, with high contrasts, and overall just looked alot more intriguing. A right and proper stonebrick might serve you well as an ominous and shadowy textures, whereas yours currently look depressed and weary. Your lightstone was interesting, looking much more natural than most lightstone I've seen anywhere, and the only thing I might suggest with it is a bit gloomier of a pallet. Most 256 HD textures utilize grayed textures, and end up appearing more or less bland. I'd recommend you simply add some richness to your colors and intensify both yoru brights and darks to highten contrast and busy up the viewers eyes a bit.

I made it 1.8.1 because that is what they wanted for the contest. I am sure I will be updating this pack after the contest though :smile.gif:
When will the 64x be put up? I can barely run 256x(my pc kinda sucks lol) but I mainly play while I do commentary videos with the combination of mods, a 256x texture pack ,and recording the lag would be horrible :\

Someone said they have the two working, but I am not sure how to do that.
So....
Here's what I'd do if I were you. Go to the bin folder where your currently modded minecraft.jar is (%appdata%/.minecraft/bin), and ctrl-x (cut) it and move it to somewhere NOT in the minecraft directory, for example, "my documents". then clear the bin folder.
Then open minecraft, it will download the files again fresh.
Now download optifine (not multithreaded as it has many issues still), and open it with whatever .zip software you use. Also open the minecraft.jar with the .zip software. In the minecraft.jar, delete the folder called "META INF". Then copy the files from the optifine.zip into the minecraft.jar, run minecraft, and there are a *bunch* of settings you can mess with to improve performance. I hope this helps, let me know if the 256 works for you!
