It's time to call out all of Stars and Stripes most twisted, ghoulish readers to compete in the 2009 Stripes Sound Bites promotion!

Give voice to your inner vampire this Halloween season—and capture it on video to share with your fellow Un-Dead. You know who you are, you ghastly pale, sunlight-sensitive, coffin dwellers. Wake up and let the cameras roll!

We're looking for everything from the spooky to the spoofy, scary or hairy, funny or ghastly. We know you have it in you. That creepy eye roll, the hearty laugh of pure evil, that hoarsely whispered "I vant to suck your blood" are all just lurking inside you waiting for release.

Just upload your best vampire impression video where it says "Submit Sound Bite." It's so easy... like slipping your fangs into an artery.

Come back then, and view your fellow vampires, vote for your favorites and get your Un-Dead family and friends to vote, too!

The frighteningly lucky vampire wannabe who receives the most votes will win the Grand Prize and fly off (with the victim of his choice) to gloomy Transylvania with an author-signed copy of Dacre Stoker's new book, DRACULA THE UN-DEAD!

Ten additional Prize Winners will also receive signed copies of DRACULA THE UN-DEAD, courtesy of Stripes Book Club!

Promotion ends at the stroke of midnight on October 31, 2009.
