Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant Movie Promotional GIVEAWAY!

Read Cirque du Freak books by Darren Shan when you were younger? Haven't read them, but am interested in horror vampire series? Here's your chance to explore the Cirque du Freak world! In honor of the upcoming October 23rd release of the movie The Vampire's Assistant, based on the first few Cirque du Freak books, Big Honcho Media is allowing me to host a cool giveaway for readers!


ABOUT THE MOVIE

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 grotesque 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, disturbing images, 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!

Do you love to be scared? Then don't miss the terrifying adventure that begins when Darren and his best friend, Steve, get tickets to the CIRQUE DU FREAK, a wonderfully bizarre and creepy freak show. Brace yourself for thrills and chills as the boys witness a parade of grotesque creatures and face their deepest fears by entering the darkest world of the vampire. In the blood-curdling tradition of Anne Rice and Stephen King, CIRQUE DU FREAK will have you shrieking for the next horror show!

  34. Really look forward to checkin out The Vampire's Assistant this weekend! Here’s a cool iFreak APP I found for the movie where you can 'freak out' pics of you and your friends to look like your fav freaks from the film! You can find the app free to download for your iPhone or iTouch here:http://itunes.com/apps/ifreak
