[Contest] Win a Free Blu-Ray Copy of The Lego Movie
[Update: You can also enter the contest by following us on Twitter and tweeting #RHLego!]
While I'm a huge fan of Legos, as has been seen throughout my time on Ruby Hornet, I never would have imagined that this year's The Lego Movie would have such immense success, bringing in more than $462.7m in box office sales with many more money to be made now that the film has been released on DVD and Blu-ray. To commemorate its home media release, we're offering one lucky reader a free Blu-ray copy of The Lego Movie.
Using the "Everything is Awesome" app below, you can create customized 6-second GIFs of pre-selected scenes from The Lego Movie that automatically get uploaded to a special YouTube page. After you create your The Lego Movie GIF, comment on this page below with a link to your YouTube video. Make sure you use a valid email address so we can contact you if you win! You can enter as many time as you'd like. You have until July 2nd to get your entries in. Note: The contest is only open to US residents. Good luck!

[RH Contest] Win a pair of tickets to ShowYouSuck's "Dude Bro" show on 11/21
ShowYouSuck's Dude Bro EP is going to be big. While most people know ShowYouSuck for his One Man Pizza Party saga, Dude Bro represents a stylistic change that still retains similar themes and styles found in the aforementioned OMPP mixtapes, but has its own unique flavor to it. In case you haven't yet, listen to Dude Bro's "80's Boobs" and "Make-Out King" to give you an idea of exactly what I'm talking about.
With Dude Bro officially releasing on iTunes next Tuesday, ShowYouSuck and 1833 Presents are having the official "Dude Bro" Show tomorrow at The Hideout. Supporting Show are our LOD brethren Auggie the 9th, Treated Crew's MattBoyWhite playing a DJ set, and local lo-fi indie band Today's Hits. We have a pair of tickets for one lucky winner to experience Dude Bro live for the very first time. To enter, simply follow us on Twitter (@rubyhornet) and tweet us your favorite ShowYouSuck song with the hashtag #RHDudeBro! We'll choose a winner at 2pm tomorrow, so make sure you get those tweets in!
The "The Dude Bro Show" is 21+, so please keep this in mind when you enter. You can also buy tickets for The Dude Bro Show if you're not feeling lucky, as well. Good luck!

[RH Contest] Win a copy of The Conjuring on Blu-ray
Update: Just a reminder - today is the last day for the contest!
Halloween is less than a week away, yet we're here to bring you guys an early trick... or treat. We have a Blu-ray copy of The Conjuring to send out to somebody. In case you missed it in theaters, The Conjuring is directed by Saw creator James Wan about a family, Carolyn (Lili Taylor) and Roger (Ron Livingston) Perron and their five daughters that begin noticing eerie happenings in their newly-bought house in 1971 Rhode Island. When the instances become more frequent and violent, they turn to two paranormal investigators, Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) Warren, to offer assistance. The Conjuring is based on a true story much like another investigation conducted by the Warrens that formed the basis of The Amityville Horror.
You can enter our contest three different ways. The first is to simply leave a comment on this post sharing your favorite scary movie. The second is to follow us on Twitter (@RubyHornet) and tell us your favorite scary movie with the hashtags #TheConjuring and #RHConjuring. The third is to leave a comment on this story's post on our Facebook. You can enter as often as you'd like, but remember - we only have one copy to offer! The contest will end on October 31st at 11:59pm CST and is open to anybody in the United States and Canada. Good luck!
To get you in the mood for The Conjuring are these five GIFs full of behind the scenes facts and trivia about the film.
