Dark And Dangerous Times

Start: September 26th, 2005
End: October 2nd, 2005

• The X-Files Mythology: Colonization, courtesy Fox
Mulder's search for the truth seems near its end when he and Scully meet Cassandra Spender. A multiple abductee, Cassandra believes that aliens came to Earth on a mission that has somehow gone terribly wrong. Her theory is confirmed when Krycek reveals that three abduction sites were beacons for alien colonization and the death and destruction at those sites were caused by a small alien rebel force. Determined to prevent the colonization of Earth, this force is also eliminating all proof that an alien presence was ever on the planet. Unfortunately for Mulder, his quest for the truth has made him part of the proof which must be eliminated. Four lucky winners will each experience a close encounter with THE X-FILES MYTHOLOGY: COLONIZATION, courtesy of the SETI members at Fox Home Entertainment.

• The Evil Dead 2: Book Of The Dead - Limited Edition, courtesy Anchor Bay
Ash (Bruce Campbell), the sole survivor of THE EVIL DEAD, continues his struggle with the forces of the dead. With his girlfriend possessed by demons and his body parts runnning amok, Ash is forced to single-handedly battle the legions of the damned as the most lethal -- and groovy -- hero in horror movie history! Two lucky winners will go on the run from THE EVIL DEAD 2: BOOK OF THE DEAD - LIMITED EDITION, courtesy of the scare superiors at Anchor Bay.

• Family Guy Presents: Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story, courtesy Fox
In this exclusive 88 minute DVD premiere, Stewie -- the maniacal baby genius -- is distracted from his plans for world domination when he sees a man just like him on TV. Convinced that this man must be his real father (after all, how could he possibly share genetic material with the dimwitted Peter?), Stewie sets off on a cross-country road trip to find him. But this incredible journey leads him to discoveries far more vile and shocking that anything found in his diaper. Two lucky winners will walk the red carpet premiere with FAMILY GUY PRESENTS: STEWIE GRIFFIN - THE UNTOLD STORY, courtesy of the animation masters at Fox Home Entertainment.

• Dead And Breakfast (Umd), courtesy Anchor Bay
The story Ð in song and scream Ð of what happens when a seemingly innocent road trip goes awry. On their way to a wedding, six friends stop for the night at a quaint bed and breakfast in the sleepy town of Lovelock, TX. But after a night that ends with both the innÕs owner and his chef dead, the gang find themselves under suspicion by the local sheriff. The mystery rapidly deepens when the already bizarre residents of the town become possessed by an evil spirit. Armed with a rusty chainsaw, a can of gasoline, and a half box of shotgun shells, they must barricade the house and fight for their lives. Three lucky winners will enjoy a brief stay at DEAD AND BREAKFAST in the UMD format (for PSP), courtesy of the vacation planners at Anchor Bay.

• Ghost In The Shell (Umd), courtesy Anchor Bay
By 2029, many people are more machine than human, and virtually all are hardwired to the Internet. That which remains of the original person is called the "ghost." When a skilled criminal called the puppet master begins to hack into people's ghosts and threatens to cause a political disaster, Major Motoko Kusanagi and Bateau of the specialized sector 9 police force are put on the case. Since both of them are almost completely cybernetic, the results are especially important. As the case progresses, it becomes clear that Major Kusanagi has some link to the mysterious hacker. Three lucky winners will go ghost hunting with GHOST IN THE SHELL in the UMD format (for PSP), courtesy of the cyborg support group at Anchor Bay.

• Inside Deep Throat, courtesy Universal
It was banned in 23 states. The government didn-t want you to see it. DEEP THROAT was more than just a titillating curiosity, it was the sexually explicit film that ignited a social and political firestorm. Inside Deep Throat examines the politics and the payoffs, the porn stars and persecution of the cultural phenomenon that remains just as highly controversial today. Two lucky winners will uncover the truth INSIDE DEEP THROAT, courtesy of the investigative journalists at Universal Home Entertainment.

• Ghost In The Shell: S.A.C. - 2nd Gig, courtesy Manga Video
For this second season follow-up to STAND ALONE COMPLEX, director Mamoru Oshii maintains an episodic format and portrays Section 9 dealing with political issues such as invited refugees and nuclear intrigue. Another government institution, the Information Bureau of the Cabinet, goes head-to-head sieth Section 9 and a terrorist entity called the "Individual Eleven" joins the fray. Two lucky winners will return to the scene of the crime with GHOST IN THE SHELL: S.A.C. - 2nd GIG, courtesy of the futurians at Manga Entertainment.

• Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer - 20th Anniversary Edition, courtesy Dark Sky Films
Ever seen a film so terrifying that it made you want to sleep with all the lights on? A film so unsettling that some of its scenes were stuck in your mind long after it was over? John McNaughton's horrific masterpiece is that kind of film. Based on true events, this critically acclaimed classic so believably portrays the senseless killing spree of a dangerous sociopath that people can't stop talking about it even twenty years later. If you've never seen HENRY before, get ready for the ride of your life. If you have seen HENRY, you're not going to want to miss this 20th Anniversary Special Edition, chock full of never-before-seen extras and presented in a stunning new high definition transfer supervised by McNaughton. Two lucky winners will each experience the darkness of HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER - 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, courtesy of the mental health counselors at Dark Sky Films.

• Halloween (Umd), courtesy Anchor Bay
In the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, a teenage baby sitter tries to survive a Halloween night of relentless terror, during which a knife-wielding maniac goes after the town's hormonally charged youths. Director John Carpenter takes this simple situation and orchestrates a superbly mounted symphony of horrors. It's a movie much scarier for its dark spaces and ominous camera movements than for its explicit bloodletting. Two lucky winners will each celebrate the holiday with HALLOWEEN in the UMD format (for PSP), courtesy of the horror historians at Anchor Bay.

• The Evil Dead (Umd), courtesy Anchor Bay
Ash (Bruce Campbell) and four friends arrive at a backwoods cabin for a vacation, where they find a tape recorder containing incantations from an ancient book of the dead. When they play the tape, evil forces are unleashed, and one by one the friends are possessed. Wouldn't you know it, the only way to kill a "deadite" is by total bodily dismemberment. A roller coaster of a film packed with shocks, gore, and wild humor, a film that remains a benchmark for the genre. Two lucky winners will enhance their Halloween viewing with THE EVIL DEAD in the UMD format (for PSP), courtesy of the gratuitous gore lovers at Anchor Bay.

• EMR, courtesy Shiny Object Digital Video
Adam (Adam Leese) is stuck. He hates his job, he hates his life, and he spends all his free time online obsessing over conspiracy theories. While taking an experimental drug for his epilepsy, Adam begins suffering from seizures, black outs, and terrifying visions. When he wakes up in a Mexican hotel room with a missing kidney, he is convinced he's stumbled into the middle of a conspiracy. As it turns out, this situation is far worse than his wildest nightmares. Two lucky winners will dive head first into the intrigue of EMR, courtesy of the conspiracy theorists at Shiny Object Digital Video.
