Since the holidays are covered by a Norwegian horror flick, we’ve decided to use what’s left of December to figure out which flick we’re going to watch to start of 2012! So — what should we watch next?

Last year, we watched Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. It was a festive monstrosity of a review, opening and ending with a little Christmas cheer. But this year, we’re reaching even farther into the abyss. That’s right, we’re watching a foreign film…from Norway Finland! Prepare yourselves! On Dec. 24th, 2011, we’ll release our review of Rare Exports, which may or may not be the most brilliant Christmas horror movie ever made. And did we mention that we’re going to drink ourselves silly during the recording process? Yeah…

Are you interested in a shot at some free fantasy novels? Of course you are! And I’ve got a bunch of free stuff for you all. Over at my personal SF/F blog, I am running a giveaway for David Chandler’s The Ancient Blades Trilogy. Two people will receive copies of the first two books in the series, and one lucky winner will get the entire set. And what do you have to do for it? Practically nothing. Just head over to the post and leave a comment telling me one thing you like about fantasy literature (and a way to contact you, obviously). It’s that simple! So if you want a shot at some free books, head over and talk about the lovely fantasy genre!
