Zompacolypse 2012 Halloween Hop

That’s right!! We are already making plans for Halloween, because we are super mondo excited about it!

Which leads us to this…

You have been cordially invited to…
             
Howdy Girls and Ghouls! That's right it is that time of year again to let those zombies loose! So welcome my cannibal friends to the annual Zompacolypse at Paranormal Wastelands!!



Are you hankering for some Halloween fun? Is your inner Mummy and FrankenDaddy ready to come out and play? Well then mosey on down to the Wastelands for Halloweenies and Black Cat Cocktails. Cuz we are throwing a spooktacular shindig that will go down in Zompacolypse history!



Gotcha a scary story to share?

Ever read a book that made you go BOO?

Then we want to hear about it!!

Drop us a moan from your local bone yard and tell us all about it!



So why are we telling you all this now?

And what exactly are we even talking about?



Ok here is the deal…we are looking for you! Yes YOU, to share your favorite scary story with us. Throughout the entire month of October we will be hosting author guest posts, and interviews, for all things that goes bump in the night. Yes of course there is will be all kinds of fun and prizes along the way…what kind of party wouldn’t have door prizes?


How cool is that!?

Bloggers/Reviewers:

For all bloggers/reviewers interested in joining in on the fun it’s easy peasy!


 All bloggers that would like to participate, we are hosting a “Trick or Treat” blog hop. Each blogger taking part in the hop portion will host a “Trick or Treat” giveaway (each blogger is responsible for their own giveaway. There are no requirements as for the monitary value of the giveaway, or how you have people enter.) Each blog will be provided with a Zombie Hop badge, to be displayed in their sidebar to help spread the word about the zombie shuffle.

  8. Interested in doing the reviews as I planned to do Halloween reading in October anyway. Not sure I undestand, though...Do I post on my blog and you also post it here?

    ReplyDelete
  9. @Dawn--> All ya have to do is send us a link, or just email us the review of the book you want us to use during the event. We will post it here and link it back to your blog. Sorta like "Wanna see what else Dawns been up to? We thought you would! So hop on over to " Make sense?

    Also for anyone else that might read this you DON'T have to have a blog to do a review here in October. In fact for those of you that don't have hour own site it will be a chance to get your feet wet so to speak.

    AND we will be making avi's for everyone's guest post. Like I'm going to be Sombie Hello Kitty, Greta is Hellboy Hello Kitty and so on! They are way cute;)

So Im in..I even have a book on my TBR list to read and review, tho it may not be as creepy as y'alls creepy LOL. When will we be getting our badge to place on our sidebars? Thank you so much for this it sounds hella fun

  15. I would be thrilled to take part. This sounds really fun. :D

    @ Tee -- I hear ya, I'm mainly a YA romance reviewer, but I like contemporary, dystopian and paranormal / fantasy so I'm sure I can find something that'll fit. :)

    Anyway, time to start figuring out what I'll review and what I'll give away ... And what the heck my costume will be.

    Can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I definitely want to be a part of this! Sounds like FUN :)

    In the FORM, I actually sent two links for my review because I never posted the review on my blog. I had a link to the review in a post about the book and that is the link I sent. I also sent the link to my review on Goodreads in the same box... I just left a few spaces in between so that they didn't get mixed. I wasn't sure which you could use...
    If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll do the FORM again.

    I'm also going to email you about the costume part.

  18. Hello :) Me again. :) I wanted to let you know that I have encouraged people to spread the word about Zompacolypse as part of the promotions for my blog's next giveaway. My apologies if this is totally the wrong place to let you know this, but I did not see a way to contact you privately.

    You will find information about the ways I am encouraging others to get involved under the heading "Share the Love". You can find the post that contains it Here. Thanks so much for your time and have a great day!

  23. Good question Books and Beyond. I was wondering the same thing myself! When should we post our giveaways? On Oct. 1 and then leave it up through the 31st?

    Goldilox @ Goldilox and the Three Weres WOW

    ReplyDelete
  24. Great questions guys and sorry for the confusion! Lolz Your giveaway for the Trick or Treat Hop should go up on Friday October 28th and should stay open until the end of Halloween. For those of you, like me, that will be using Rafflecopter for your giveaway please set your Rafflecopter start date to Oct 28th @ 12:00am and your end date to Nov 1st @ 12:00am. You want people to be able to enter your giveaway until Halloween is officially over.

    Make sense?

  26. We found out late that we have to do a trick or treat giveaway on Oct 28. We were thinking zombies and so we created a game instead for the entire month. Come check it out.

    http://thestoryseekers.blogspot.com/p/halloween-hops.html

    But since we did join in for the trick or treat hop, we will also have another thing for the trick or treat hop that will be posted on Oct. 27. We will be giving candy, books, and other good halloween items. Hope that works out fine.
