TVA_Final1Sheet_1 (Page 1)It’s not too often that I find myself looking forward to a particular movie to open.  I don’t necessarily pay close attention to them any more because it seems like everything has been done before.  That was, of course, until I was introduced to Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant.

After watching just the preview, I couldn’t wait to see it!

In theaters October 23rd

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, is a fantasy-adventure about a teenager who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires.  Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.

CIRQUE DU FREAK has been rated PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned – Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13) for sequences of intense supernatural violence and action, thematic elements and some language.

DETAILS ON THE BOOK RELEASE:

THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT and Other Tales from the Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan

New movie edition features the first three books–Cirque Du Freak, The Vampire’s Assistant, and Tunnels of Blood– bound up in one volume!

Of course, living in the virtual CAVE of existence that I reside in, I had never heard of the books, but you can be sure I’ll be hitting B&N or Amazon as soon as this blog post is written! But as soon as the movie hits theaters here in Martinsburg, I’ll be there!

UPDATED:  My oldest son (13) and I went to see the movie and it was just as much fun as the previews.  I love John C. Reilly and he never disappoints in his odd ways! 

Besides letting you know about this really cool movie, though, I have a GREAT giveaway for you! and you… and YOU! and oh yeah, you over there too – the one with the pink furry bunny slippers!

Are these not the cutest shoes EVER?

These are Polliwalks and I am trying to win a pair of the puppy dog ones from SAHM Reviews :)   Of course, you should not go visit and enter too :)

Before the movie came out, I had never heard of Twilight, never knew that there were books that preceded it.  When I asked my sister last night if she’d heard of this Twilight thing, she just about flipped!  Apparently, I’ve missed the boat on this one.

I watched the recent HBO series “True Blood” and LOVED it – and so it seems I might like Twilight as well.  So of course, when Mom Generations announced their new service, The Giveaway Connection, and that their first giveaway would be a Twilight Collector’s Edition, I was all over that!

The Twilight Collector’s Edition (The Twilight Saga) includes a hardcover copy of “Twilight,” a ribbon bookmark, cloth cover, ragged edges, new chapter opener designs, and a protective slipcase. The retail value is $30.00.

But this one’s way better.

The winner of THIS photo contest wins a $5,000 United States Savings Bond!
