HEY YOU!  YES YOU!  YOU LIKE WINNING FREE STUFF RIGHT????

Owing to an error at the publisher when they sent me my subscription issue for the month (happened because I need to renew it), I now have a second issue of Rue Morgue this month to give away to a forum member!  (Btw, because this was just an error and I don't usually end up with stuff like this, don't expect a lot of this.  I just decided to be sure to give this to someone who would appreciate it)

So what are we playing for???

BUT!  I'm not gonna just give it away......we're gonna have a trivia challenge relating to it!  Here's how its going to work:  In this issue, and all issues, of Rue Morgue is a column called "Coroner's Report" in which Monica S. Kuebler compiles 13 dark and morbid facts.  So I'm going to ask you a question about one of the facts listed in the issue you're trying to win!  All you have to do to win is be the first forum member to comment with the correct answer to:

WHAT IS THE TECHNICAL TERM FOR "THE FEAR OF BEING BURIED ALIVE"?

If you win, I'll congratulate you and ask you to message me with your address, to which I'll send your free issue by USPS...and if Attrage happens to win, I'll find some way to ship it to Australia...

The contest begins NOW!  Good luck!

EDIT:  THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!  BLOODYBONES IS THE WINNER!  THANKS FOR PLAYING!

HEY YOU!  YES YOU, READING THIS POST!  YOU LIKE FREE STUFF RIGHT?

I want to play a game...again....

Earlier this year, I gave away a free issue of Rue Morgue magazine for the answer to a trivia question.  I had a lot of fun with it, and figured if I was able to at some point, I'd do it again...but I don't like doing things half-assed......

Over the past 3 or so months, from the various conventions I go to (and postal service screwups), I've been accumulating a decent-sized pile of convention schwag and, after a long time trying to figure out how the hell I was going to do this, I think I've come up with a challenge thatll be a bit more complicated than knowing the answer to a trivia question.

SO WHAT ARE WE PLAYING FOR?

Due to a postal service screwup, I am, again, able to give away a free issue of Rue Morgue!  This time, Issue 91, featuring a Blair Witch retrospective and pieces on Straw Dogs, Combat Shock, and the history of death masks, among many other things.

BUT WAIT!  THERES MORE!

A) An Inglourious Basterds one-sheet I picked up at Monstermania in August, B) A deck of Fox Home Entertainment "Vote for Gore" playing cards I grabbed at Fangoria in June, C) A T-shirt for the now-defunct Fangoria webchannel, Fangoria TV, size Large, that I grabbed at Fangoria in June, D) Autographed 8X10s, 1 of the Friday the 13th Pt. 2 onesheet, signed by Lauren Marie Taylor ("Vickie"), 1 of Judge Doom and Roger Rabbit, signed by Charles Fleischer ("voice of Roger Rabbit"), nabbed at Fangoria and June Monstermania respectively, E)  A black pen (the red's just on the inside of the barrel) advertising "The Uninvited" from Fangoria, F) A wide range of Alien Trespass one-sheets, all different, from Fangoria, and G) a Saw VI onesheet from Monstermania August.  EDIT:  H)  THE WINNER WILL ALSO GET HIS OR HER CHOICE OF THE TWO SELLSHEETS SHOWN ABOVE THAT I PICKED UP AT MONSTERMANIA IN AUGUST.

So, by now, I'm imagining you're curious what you have to do to win some of these FABULOUS PRIZES....Well, over in the music section, I've uploaded 15 instrumental tracks from various horror movies, each named "Contest Song 1", 2, 3, etc.  Some are easy, some are a bit more challenging, a couple pretty rough and no movie is repeated (I've linked them here, clicking will open each in a new window, they play automatically):

Song 1

Song 2 (I will only accept ONE answer for this)

Song 3 (Two possible answers)

Song 4

Song 5

Song 6

Song 7

Song 8

Song 9

Song 10

Song 11

Song 12

Song 13

Song 14

Song 15

So here's what you do: In order to keep my BHM site inbox relatively empty, email me a list of the 15 movies these songs are from at crypticpsych@best-horror-movies.com.  As an example, if song 10 happened to be the theme from Halloween (pointless hint:  it isn't), you'd email as part of your list "10) Halloween".  I'm not gonna be an evil EVIL human being and ask for song titles, composers, or anything like that.  Just movie names.  After the contest ends, I will look over all the entries and the entrants who get the most movies right will then be randomly picked from to determine the winner.  REMEMBER:  Even if you don't know all 15, email what you DO know, properly numbered.  If no one is able to get all 15, I will move to 14, and so on.  This contest IS open to international members as well, so if, for example, you live in say...Australia, England, Canada, or Romania, by all means jump in.  (And if you're curious how come there's only one winner...it's because I don't know a really good way to break the nine prizes into tiers.)

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:  It is my wish to give these prizes away to active forum members.  Therefore, I also ask that you include your forum name.  Two or three posts won't cut it here.  I'm not asking for someone who has over 1000 posts on the site...or necessarily even over 200.  Just a person who's active in discussions so that I'm sure I'm giving these to an avid horror fan AND an avid Ossuary member.  If you join the site after this contest opens and enter, I may disqualify you solely on the grounds that I don't know how much you'll post after the contest (we've had a few people join up, post like 5 things, and then vanish totally into the ether.  I don't aim to give this much stuff to such a light poster.  No offense.)

So have fun, everyone, and get your entry to me by midnight Eastern Standard Time on September 9th!

Let the games begin.
