We're suckers for classic horror, as has been demonstrated by anybody who's turned out for either iteration of 32 Days of Halloween we've provided, the original or Part II. So we couldn't have been happier to see Universal Studios Monsters, a coffee table book by Michael Mallory and out from Universe Books that covers some of our favorite Uni horror titles. And we couldn't resist asking Universe to send us a couple of extra copies--and we're going to give them away to you fine peoples.

08.28.09 by Widge @ 1:39 pm Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  I know very little about the NFL or football in general. I know about soccer, the British football, more because I spent a few years playing it as a kid. I say "playing," but in actuality I mean "stood around on a field in cleats and stared off into space." So I can only tell you what I see here--that it's the Top 10 Games of The New York Giants, and it spans 1987 through 2008. Ten games in their broadcast entirety, available from the NFL and Warner Brothers. We do have a copy of this set here--and if we draw your name when the contest ends you win it. To get your name in, enter using the form below. And then come back and do it tomorrow because we let you do that. Good luck! Categorized as: Contests

08.25.09 by Widge @ 11:55 pm Comments on this: nada. Add your own.  From FX Network (and out on DVD from Fox) it's the first season of Sons of Anarchy with all thirteen episodes on this set. Here's what they have to say for themselves: From the creative mind of Kurt Sutter (The Shield) the series chronicles an international outlaw motorcycle club that brandishes their own kind of law in the fictional Northern California town of Charming. Charlie Hunnam (Nicholas Nickleby) stars as Jax Teller, a man whose love for the brotherhood is tested by his growing apprehension for its lawlessness thanks to the birth of his newborn son and the discovery of a life-altering journal written by his father years ago. Under the watchful eye of his force-of-nature mother Gemma (Katey Sagal; Married With Children) and his stepfather/club president Clay (Ron Perlman; Hellboy), Jax is forced to keep his friends close and his enemies closer as he slowly begins to distance himself from those he considers family. With white supremacists, gunrunning hoodlums, meth-dealing rivals and crooked cops, Sons of Anarchy is exciting, risky and downright chaotic.
We've got a pair of copies here that you can win. Want to snag one? Enter using the form below and enter once a day. If we draw your name when the contest ends, you win. Just that simple. Good luck! Categorized as: Contests
