Summary:
Furnace Penitentiary: the world’s most secure prison for young offenders, buried a mile beneath the earth’s surface. Convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, sentenced to life without parole, Alex Sawyer knows he has two choices: find a way out, or resign himself to a death behind bars, in the darkness at the bottom of the world. Except in Furnace, death is the least of his worries. Soon Alex discovers that the prison is a place of pure evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the blood-drenched tunnels below. Alex plans an escape, but will it come soon enough?

Risking her life and her sanity, Reggie enters a living nightmare to save the people she loves. Can she devour her own fears before they devour her?Bone-chilling, terrifying, thrilling...what are you waiting for?
DISCLAIMER:
These are VERY creepy books. You guys know that I have no tolerance for swearing, but I also have a very dull inner eye. I don't visualize what I'm reading very vividly. That's why I'm able to get through books like these. There are some SERIOUSLY disturbing things in these books. If they were movies, I wouldn't watch them. They are about torturing children, death by demons/curses, and demonic possession respectively. NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. But they are perfect for halloween. Because of this, if you are under 18 you must have a parent's permission to enter this contest. Yes, they are YA books. No, I'm not trying to censor you. These books are probably fine for ages 15/16+. I'm being overly-cautious, but that's better than under-cautious, right?
Have I scared you away yet? No? Oh good.
HOW TO ENTER:
- In the comments tell me the BEST halloween costume you've ever seen/worn (please stay appropriate for all audiences!)
- Fill out THE FORM.
- Open to US residents only.

Last year I dressed up as a Hufflepuff student! :)
ReplyDeleteA girl at my school dressed as Kali one year. She painted herself blue and fashioned extra arms to her torso. It was pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteMy costumes all tend to be pretty average but I like to make them more fun by doing crazy hair and makeup
I loved Brad Pitt's Yo Gabba Gabba DJ Lance costume....obviously I have a small child at home
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Halloween costume ever was a Marilyn Monroe one. I bought a really nice wig, a slinky black cocktail dress (lots of cleavage), fake pearls, red high heels, elbow-length black gloves, and one of those cigarette holder things. I went to several parties and everyone knew that I was Marilyn and it was a great night. I spent a fortune, but it was worth it.
ReplyDeleteOne time, I saw a person dressed as a zombie...it looked so real that i thought the zombie apocalypse was among us...
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite costum I have worn was one my mom made for use kids when we were little all 6 of us were M&M's it was adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteBest I have seen is a dragon.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I was obsessed with The American Girl books. For Halloween one year I decked myself out as Felicity in her blue Christmas ball gown. I loved it. It was very authentic (hand made - not a cheapy plastic dress) along with petticoats, wig/accessories and such. If I could still fit in that ten-year-old self dress I would wear it again. It was fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOne year I dressed up as Elvira mistress of the dark.

My best costume was the year I went as Ariel (as a mermaid) from The Little Mermaid.

A few years ago a friend dressed up as Michael Jackson thriller style, it was so amazing and well done!
ReplyDeleteHmm...though I LOVE Halloween, by costumes don't always end up on the most fab list. Let's see, my best one would have to be a Snow White costume I picked up one year for our trip to Disney and Mickey's Haunted Halloween celebration. Getting off the Disney bus transportation at the park, a little girl thought I was actually Snow White (hair is kinda similar and yeah, equally pale)! She ran over all in awe and gave me a hug...the whole time her mother is trying to catch up to her mouthing "I'm so sorry...but she thinks your..."...what could I do? Disney owes me props for making the little girls night. ^_^ (jk on the props part...true story though!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! Happy reading....
The Lockdown sounds really interesting. Never heard of it before!
ReplyDeleteI saw a Goth Fairy last year that really impressed me. She was just amazing.
I have a large button that said "This is my costume" that I wore last year, and still got candy!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe best Halloween costume for me was two years ago when I went as Little Red Riding Hood: Wolf Hunter then my two best friends went as Snow White: Poisionous Kisser and Mulan: Zombie slayer! It was the greatest!

ReplyDeleteI don't really see a lot of costumes where I'm at. It's sad that people don't dress up. My favorites are little kid costumes. I saw the most adorable chicken one year!
ReplyDeleteI usually didn't have out there costumes for Halloween but when I was little I was Jane from Tarzan. The yellow dress was very pretty because it was one of those expensive Disney costumes from when you are actually at Disneyland.
ReplyDeleteThe best I have ever seen, was one I made for my son. He wanted to be a knight, so I made him chain mail, by sewing rings on his costume. It looked so real, we had people stopping us to talk about the costume.

My sister is a great seamstress, and she made this super awesome Bowser costume for my nephew, and she made a Mario suit for his younger brother. Basically the cutest thing I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI was a dead popstar when I was younger
ReplyDeleteThe best costume I wore was Raphael from TMNT.
ReplyDeleteThe best costume I have ever seen was at a party a few years back... a headless woman, holding her "head" in her hands, and a very high neck victorian dress concealing her real head with buttonholes she could see thru... it was actually a homemade costume from what I could tell and very realistic looking. Another time, I saw a pretty awesome zombie costume...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite costume was last years, when my husband and I dressed up as Sally & Jack Skellington. :)
ReplyDeleteI think the best costume I've seen so far, or the coolest, was a group of people all dressed as vampires! The went all-out, with totally pale skin, beautiful but dark dresses, the men wearing tuxedos...it was really awesome to see :)
ReplyDeleteI can't really think of any costumes I've seen at the moment, but I think the best Halloween costume I've ever worn would be my Cat in the Hat costume! I've always loved Dr. Seuss!
ReplyDeletemy favorite I ever wore was Wayne from Wayne's World lol, so fun.
ReplyDeleteThe best I've ever seen was a girl that was Leeloo Dallas from the Fifth Element. LOVE that movie, and it was the coolest costume! :)
Im not a big dress up person I don't remember dressing up much I only did a few times and I was a cat. I have seen some cute kids dressed up my favorite was sleeping beauty!
ReplyDeleteI was never good at dressing up, but when I was in second grade (and this will date me!) Ghostbusters was really popular, so I dressed up as the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow Man. It was a huge hit!
ReplyDeleteOne year I dressed up as Ruby Moon from Cardcaptor Sakura for Haloween, while I worked at the grocery store. I had an awesome 4 foot wingspan and everything.
ReplyDeleteSomeone dressed as a Viking Ship, complete with wee vikings rowing, VERY cool. :)

I was totally characters from The American Girl series when I was younger. My mom made my costumes & they were AWESOME! ; ) Also I was the Cat in the Hat one year while my friends were Thing 1 & Thing 2. Silly, but worth it. : )
