Season of Shadows Blog

Prepare to meet with phantom magicians performing feats of nightmarish proportions on a dark stage; tortured souls and imprinted elements of psychotic minds haunting the halls of an abandoned sanitarium; and undead corpses — too hungry to be held by the grave — ravaging the world of the living. These are the creatures and ethereal beings lurking within the tracks of Nox Arcana’s albums: “Theater of Illusion,” “Blackthorn Asylum” and “Zombie Influx.”

Nox has been kind enough to give Season of Shadows five brand new CDs to present to five separate winners in this giveaway. I have one copy of their newest release, Theater of Illusion; three copies of Blackthorn Asylum, and one copy of Zombie Influx. The first number to be drawn will receive Theater of Illusion. The next three numbers drawn will receive Blackthorn Asylum and the fifth and final number drawn will receive Zombie Influx. For more info on entry guidelines, see below.

Before entering, please take time to visit Nox Arcana’s website and show them some love while you’re there. Without their generosity, this cool giveaway would not have been possible. I’d like to thank Christine Filipak, Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski for their amazing kindness and for the hours of wonderfully haunting listening pleasure they’ve provided to Season of Shadows visitors. Thanks guys! You totally rock!

If you’re unfamiliar with Nox Arcana’s work, you can checkout a few of their tracks in the SOS Halloween Radio section, too.

It’s always a priority to get prizes shipped out as quickly as possible in any of my giveaways, but especially when they close during the month of October. I’ll be doing my best to make sure each winner has their CD by Halloween.

Please, only one entry per household. Duplicate entries from the same IP will be deleted. These giveaways are really based on the honor system, but I do my best to make it as fair as possible for everyone. There’s no catch here, everything is free — including payment of shipping and handling for the Nox Arcana CDs — I cover all costs. To be entered, leave a comment below showing your interest.

Depending upon the volume of entries, comments may only be displayed under this post for a short time. As entries grow, I may remove comments to make it easier for visitors to scroll to the comment box and enter. However, I guarantee all entries will be saved in the order they are received.

When leaving a comment, be sure to include your correct e-mail address and be certain to keep track of your spam or bulk folder after the drawing closes, just in case. Each winner will be contacted through the e-mail address that’s registered with their comment. I will never share addresses, provided by entrants, with any third parties and you’ll never receive unsolicited mail when entering.

This Nox Arcana contest will end at 11:59 PM (Eastern Time) on October 7th, 2010. All legitimate entries will then be assigned a number in the order they were received. Five numbers will be randomly drawn to determine the winners.

All five winners will then be notified, via the email addresses they provided, no later than October 8th. If one, or all five don’t respond (with their shipping information) within two weeks, then one (two, three, four or five) more number(s) will be drawn to determine the new winner(s). Upon receiving their permission, the winners names will be featured at the top of this post.

Ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties are dying to visit you this Halloween. Okay, maybe there won’t be any ghoulies or beasties but I can promise the ghosties will come calling, if you’re one of the winners in this A Haunting contest. Over the last year I’ve given away seasons 1 through 3, so this time we have the fourth and final installment of A Haunting up for grabs. Five people will win the entire fourth season (ten, one-hour long episodes) in this brand new DVD box set. Here’s a description of the horrors waiting within:

New Dominion Pictures’ A Haunting: Season 4, takes you inside ten real-life horror stories that originally aired on the Discovery Channel. Each eerie, one-hour episode features eyewitness accounts and cinematic reenactments of some of the most spine-tingling, ghostly hauntings ever recorded. Even the most skeptical observer will be shocked and intrigued by these spellbinding tales.

If you haven’t caught any of the previous seasons of A Haunting, not to worry — you won’t be lost. Each episode introduces a brand new encounter with the paranormal.

Here’s a quick peek into “Echoes of the Past,” one of the episodes contained in this box set:

This giveaway will be closing the middle of October (for more details see below). I’ll be doing my best to rush ship A Haunting to all five winners so they can receive it in time for Halloween!

Also, I know some visitors have expressed a concern as to whether or not it’s okay to sign up for more than one giveaway at a time (I’m often running two or three giveaways at once). I so appreciate the concern, and you’re more than welcome to enter each of the giveaways I’m running. Speaking of entering multiple contests, be on the lookout for another spooky giveaway coming in early September.
