Contest: Why You Should be The Vampire’s Assistant

John C. Reilly

Another content in conjunction with our friends at Universal Pictures and their upcoming film Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant. Once again, please leave a comment below and one randomly chosen winner will win a $25 Fandango gift certificate (Fandango operates only in the USA).

Based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant is a fantasy-adventure about 16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires.  But when he and his buddy stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren.  That’s the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) turns him into something, well, bloodthirsty.

In other words, John C. Reilly is your new master boss.

So, with that in mind, let’s pretend you want to be the new Vampire’s Assistant. What are your job qualifications? What special talents do you have to get the job?  What would you do to get the job?

Be creative and let us know, and feel free to reference the vampire genre, the characters from the Cirque series, or Reilly’s past roles including Talladega Nights, Step Brothers (”Hello Miss Lady!”), or Walk Hard. Please leave a comment below.

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant opens on October 23rd.
