The Adventure-a-Thon Wrap-up

 

Well, folks, the Adventure-a-Thon is coming to an end, but oh what a blogathon it’s been! With more than 30 participants from around the globe, it’s been one of our most successful events yet. Thanks to everyone who made it happen – we couldn’t have done it without you. An extra-special thanks goes out to my wonderful co-host, Gill, for going above and beyond to spread the word about the blogathon, and for keeping everything on track. Shameless plug: Gill and I will be hosting our second blogathon of the year this December, so watch for our announcement in the next few months. We’d love to have you all back.

But wait, it’s not over yet… We had a last-minute flurry of posts, which you can enjoy below, along with links to recaps from the past three days. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed bringing them to you.

Thanks to everyone who entered the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad Blu-ray contest. While I wish I could give everyone a prize, there can only be one winner, and the winner is (Drum roll, please)… Stacia from She Blogged by Night. Congratulations! Please email me at barry_cinematic@yahoo.com to claim your prize.

P.S., for anyone who was wondering about responses about their favorite Harryhausen flick, it was a toss-up between Clash of the Titans (1981) and Mysterious Island (1961).
