Yesterday, Aug 1st, as many of you know, was the actual release date for Michelle Zink's Prophecy of the Sisters. The reviews for her book have been glowing, so if you haven't read it, I suggest that you do. I will be posting my review this week.
Michelle has graciously offered up some fabulous prizes for my readers, in connection with a contest that I will be hosting here for the entire month of August. Entrants need to watch one movie a week and then blog about it (a movie review) with a link back to my blog as well as Michelle's. You have to mention Prophecy and post the cover in order to be eligible.
Each Monday in August, I will post Movie Monday, where you'll put your links in the comments. Then, the following Sunday, I will choose one winner, randomly, from all the entries. The winner will receive a signed hardcover of Prophecy of the Sisters as well as miscellaneous Prophecy swag to include a magnet, a signed mini-poster, etc. At the end of the month I will choose a winner from each person who entered during the month (you will receive one entry per week that you participate, for a total of 4 entries if you participate each week) and the Grand Prize winner will receive a Gothic Swag Bag - gift cards, jewlery, movies, etc.
The list of movies to choose from are as follows:
Interview with a Vampire
The Others
Wuthering Heights
Rebecca
Rear Window
Dial M for Murder
The Village
The Orphanage
An American Haunting
Sleepy Hollow
The Skeleton Key
The Haunting
The Changeling
30 Days of Night
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Van Helsing
The Crow
Edward Scissorhands
I am announcing the contest today, and will have a post up tomorrow where you can link to your movie review posts throughout the week. You can start watching movies tonight and start posting as early as tomorrow. Remember, all posts must be up and linked by the following Saturday each week so that a winnner can be drawn on Sunday to be posted on Monday with the new week's Movie Monday post.
Today, you can comment about your desire to participate, which movies you will watch and review, etc. Don't worry about choosing the same movie as someone else, multiple reviews for the same movie are welcome! So, who's going goth, as in goth movies?

I'll try to do this, it sounds fun! I'm not much of a movie watcher so this would be a great time to catch up on some movies.
So we choose one movie per week from the list to review? If we do more than one, does it count as more entries? I'm a bit confused by that. This sounds fun though!
What a wonderful idea! I am not sure that I can participate, but I am very anxious to read all the movie reviews (and perhaps start a list of movies that I must watch during the cold winter months)
We watched The Others last night! I'm going to blog about it and then link to you.
Sorry I've been MIA. This is shaping up to be a crazy month!
:D
What a cool contest! Don't enter me - just wanted to check it out.
I love that list of movies! I've already seen:
Interview with a Vampire
The Others
The Village
The Orphanage
Sleepy Hollow
The Haunting
30 Days of Night
Van Helsing
The Crow
Edward Scissorhands
