SINK YOUR TEETH INTO GREAT PRIZES: Our July Giveaway Contest Is Here!
Oh, Bruce. Where would horror be without you?
…Bruce is the name of the shark from Jaws, so fun fact if you didn’t know that.
Many people, including myself, had their interest in special effects piqued by the toothy, high body count lone predator that was that great white shark. We owe a lot to Spielberg’s most chilling creation (assuming you don’t have a phobia of E.T.).
On the other hand, I never should have given our editor James the idea to rewatch the Jaws films, because a suspiciously malicious shark is now terrorizing the rented boat I’m on near Asbury Park. Now my impromptu booze cruise is a “there goes my left leg” cruise.
I should have just stayed in Jersey City.
He says he’ll call the overgrown fish off if I tell you all about the next Horror Press Contest, which is themed after cinema’s greatest predator.
You should know the routine by now. Cage goes in the water; you go in the water. Sharks in the water. But just in case you’re new:
Step 1. Make sure to FOLLOW US ON TWITTER! (@HorrorPressLLC)
Step 2. LIKE & RETWEET the contest Tweet here!
Step 3. Sign up for our NEWSLETTER on the website!
The winner of the contest will receive the following items, delivered by me hobbling over on one non-bitten off leg:
- Jaws in 4K Ultra-HD & Blu-Ray, along with a slick steel-book case
- A copy of Ravensburger’s Jaws Board Game
The winner of the giveaway will be announced 7/8/22. So, until then, fans, stay high, stay dry, and stay in one piece. But above all else, STAY SPOOKY!
**Contest entries are limited to addresses in the United States.**
Happy hunting,
Luis & the Horror Press Crew
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, the Holiday season has REALLY kicked off. We’ve covered our fair share of Holiday horror from underappreciated gems like Christmas Bloody Christmas and Dial Code Santa Claus to Black Christmas and Krampus! In the hopes of spreading some Holiday cheer (and fear!), the curator of all things Horror Press, James-Michael, has decided to bring the cloven-foot killer that is Krampus into your homes! But this isn’t your ordinary Krampus…this Krampus is chock full of special features and gift wrapped in 4K!
If you haven’t seen Krampus, then what are you doing with your life? For those unfamiliar, Krampus follows a large family gathering of frustrating people who all get snowed in three days before Christmas. One by one, the family gets picked off by Christmas-themed creatures. Sometimes, the holidays truly are killer.
