Check it out! If you were hesitant about pulling the trigger on the Amazon deal with these kits for fifteen dollars, check out KidsWoot today! They’re five dollars with five-dollar shipping, making it ten bucks to order one. But, you can order up to three and still pay just five dollars in shipping, making the kits about seven dollars each shipped.

*Note that just like the Amazon kits, these contain a mail-in coupon for you to order your chrysalises so that you have them when the season is right. The chrysalises are free, but there is a three-dollar shipping charge. You can avoid the mail-in hassle simply by going to their website, entering the coupon code from your kit, and paying online.*

IN THEATRES OCTOBER 23

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, is a fantasy-adventure about a teenager who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.

16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend, got decent grades and usually stayed out of trouble. 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.

Newly undead, he joins the Cirque Du Freak, a touring sideshow filled with monstrous creatures from a snakeboy and a wolfman to a bearded lady (Salma Hayek) and a gigantic barker (Ken Watanabe). As Darren flexes his newfound powers in this dark world, he becomes a treasured pawn between the vampires and their deadlier counterparts. And while trying to survive, one boy will struggle to keep their brewing war from devouring what’s left of his humanity.
