This site is a PYP favorite. Read some comments from PYP members below:

“I bought two of the different unisex spinner rings for my husband and he loves them. He is in construction and has gone through 2 wedding rings. He hasn’t worn a wedding ring for a few years because its too expensive to replace. These rings look nice. I don’t mind replacing this one when I have to.” – CindyJo

“I love this site, i’m almost as addicted to this as I am to PYP” – juliz119

“I have that bracelet that is up now and LOVE it!! Hurry, bracelets don’t come around very often!” – Rebecca

“My daughter’s birthday was yesterday and I ordered 2 pairs of earrings and a silver bracelet for her. My husband ordered a silver bracelet for me and a pair of earrings for me as a surprise. They all arrived yesterday! Pretty cool stuff. I’m happy with the things I got.” – Moms_the_boss

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.
