To kick off the Halloween season, Universal pictures and Atomic Popcorn want to invite you to a special screening of Universal Pictures’ latest vampire movie; Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant. This is a local promo done by Alliedim and Atomic Popcorn and is showing at the local AMC theater. The Screening is Tuesday, October 20th at 7:30.

Now most of you are probably wondering what is this movie all about? Well that is where the fantastic nature of the internet comes in handy. Here is a quick synopsis of the film and what you are in store for.

Cirque Du Freak tells the frightening tale of a boy 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. Fourteen-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend, got decent grades and usually stayed out of trouble. But when he and his buddy stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren. That’s the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) turns him into something, well, bloodthirsty. Newly undead, he joins the Cirque Du Freak, a touring sideshow filled with monstrous creatures from a snakeboy and a wolfman to a bearded lady (Salma Hayek) and a gigantic barker (Ken Watanabe). As Darren flexes his newfound powers in this dark world, he becomes a treasured pawn between the vampires and their deadlier counterparts. And while trying to survive, one boy will struggle to keep their brewing war from devouring what’s left of his humanity.

Now on to the part that you all have been waiting for: how do I win? That is the easy part. The first 75 people to comment on this post with a valid email (it’s displayed only to me) along with the words – “I want to see Cirque Du Freak for free“, win a pass – good for two to the above screening. Again, if you want to bring a date you still only need to enter once! This is a pass good for two of you!

I do ask that due to the size of the screening that you try and be there by 6:30pm as this will guarantee you a seat. This will allow all of you fine folks to grab your passes and a great seat for the film. You will need to give me your email address (the one you used in the comments below) to validate that you indeed got a pass.

More logistics… I will be there alongside the ticket taker checking emails and handing out passes to the sneak peak. I will be in my Atomic Popcorn shirt (duh!). That should be enough to clue you in to which direction to head.
