Darren Shan’s bestselling Cirque du Freak series makes its way to the big screen this fall, with The Vampire’s Assistant – and we are offering some goodies to get in the spirit of the film!

The Book:

THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT and Other Tales from the Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan

New movie edition features the first three books–Cirque Du Freak, The Vampire’s Assistant, and Tunnels of Blood– bound up in one volume!

Do you love to be scared? Then don’t miss the terrifying adventure that begins when Darren and his best friend, Steve, get tickets to the CIRQUE DU FREAK, a wonderfully bizarre and creepy freak show. Brace yourself for thrills and chills as the boys witness a parade of grotesque creatures and face their deepest fears by entering the darkest world of the vampire. In the blood-curdling tradition of Anne Rice and Stephen King, CIRQUE DU FREAK will have you shrieking for the next horror show!

The Movie:

In theaters October 23rd

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, is a fantasy-adventure about a teenager 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.

CIRQUE DU FREAK has been rated PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned – Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13) for sequences of intense supernatural violence and action, disturbing images, thematic elements and some language.

  14. Hayley says:

    I think I would want to be a snake-lady, a la Medusa from the original Clash of the Titans movie. Bottom half of the body- snake. Top half- woman. With poisonous fangs and lots of scales. In purple and silver. :D Of course, I wouldn’t want to turn people to stone. They’d be afraid to look at me. :roll:

  15. Hayley says:

    I also voted for the “I have awesome vampire powers.” It’s so wonderfully tongue-in-cheek. Also sounds like something Napoleon Dynamite would say. “Girls only want boyfriends with awesome vampire powers.”

  16. Rachel Arielle Calder-Wood says:
