What's in the ParaNorman Mystery Box?

Woohoo! It's good to be a blogger sometimes. The good folks at Laika, the animation studio that created ParaNorman, sent us this ParaNorman mystery box.

A little googling will tell you that other blogs received similar mystery boxes (I particularly like John Struan's ParaNorman Box #3).

What do you think is inside? Let's have a bit of fun - tell us your funniest guess. No, you can't have whatever is inside our ParaNorman box, but you can win neat stuff from the NeatoShop!

Here's how to play:

1. Enter your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please. Make it funny - we'll pick the funniest 3 as winners. You can enter as many guesses as you'd like in separate comments.

2. Include your pick of your favorite NeatoShop item from the Cute Store category (any item in stock, $25 or less, please!) or the Funny T-shirts category.

3. Incomplete entries forfeit the prize, OK?

Good luck! We'll pick the winners soon!

the box will contain the exact same things as the one to SuperPunch (dirt, detritus, coffin etc. different zombie in the coffin). But its what the naked eye can't see that is significant. The film makers at Laika love the way ParaNorman looks but hate the amount of time and effort they had to put into it. So they engineered a spore that would facilitate the transformation of those who breath it into small, clay-like figures for the production of future stop motion projects. The victims (you bloggers, sorry) retain movement, personality and such, but have the appearance and consistency of the figures used in the films. They are essentially making tiny actors who look like clay dolls. They then enslave the victims for use as extras and principle characters in their future projects. I for one think you'll like your new lives as puppets.

Inside the box is the spectral essence of the ghost of Schrodinger’s cat, who was captured in the 1980?s by The Ghostbusters (who used a special Quantum Undifferentiator to vacuum it’s ectoplasmic 9th incarnation wave/particle).

Giant googly eyes as my possible winning gift.

Well, one of these promo boxes has to be a trap...
Going with that, I will go with this list:

1. Dirt, real or artificial.
2. Small shovel.
3. A Mandrake root !
4. No earplugs.....listen to it scream, baby, listen to it scream !!!

if you use some sort of protection, and make it through this, I would like the following as a prize:

The Eleventh Doctor (with Cowboy Hat) - Doctor Who Action Figure

The assumption is that these are being sent out by the studio. Just because it says it's from Laika doesn't mean that it is. Also, we assume that Paranorman is fiction. Not so. These boxes are being sent out by the villainous zombies from the film. They won the battle in their clay based world and are now infiltrating ours in the guise of promotional material. The box sent to SuperPunch was an elaborate ruse to get that zombie free and into the offices of an influential force on the human internet. This box, I believe will contain another zombie. But it will also contain something far more gruesome. The head OF NORMAN! His little interchangeable face will be mangled and horrific. For the sake of mankind- DO NOT OPEN THAT BOX.

The box contains Erwin Schrödinger’s head. The cat was sneaky and only played dead. Then it waited. In the dark. Alone. Until, on a dark knight, the lid opened…

My guess is that it is the "Ghost in a jar" that never sold on E-bay years ago that has been placed in a box.
While it would be paranormal, the sheer terror of owning a real ghost would make it worthwhile. This would be a great companion for the human skull that I just received, I would be able to offer the ghost another place to hang out.

I was going to use my ghost hunting equipment (www.rockymountainparanormal.com) but that would not be fair to others.

Maybe I will just get the I heart the Yeti shirt and pretend I am a cryptozoologist instead.

IT'S A TRAP!!! DON'T OPEN IT!!! My super powers tell me it's possessed toilet paper and zombie moths. Once you open it you and everyone in the office is finished. And I will miss all your witty humor. :( Destroy it with fire. Save yourself. LOL.

I think there's a little man who was crammed in there by studio expects who tell him this how all famouse movie stars get started. for pity sake send me the thing so I can set him free. And don't worry I'll explain everything to him.

Oh and the I love robots shirt. Medium please.

Inside is Goody Barr, the local confectionary maker for Blythe Hollow.
Died in an unfortunate candy making accident, where Goody Barr fell into a vat of caramel, peanuts, nougat and finally, a boiling coat of delicious chocolate.

It's a disgruntled Lambchop puppet. She's angry that socks are not considered entertaining in this day and age. Laika didn't want to deal with her, so they shipped her to Neatorama...!

Freudian Slippers in Small please!

A model of Coraline dressed as a witch looking skeptical and a little annoyed as always, her black cat with tire tracks on his waist, looking passive, and the disembodied arm of a zombie giving the finger. :-)

I'm guessing it's dirt and a tiny shovel, a coffin, one of the characters used to make the movie, a few pieces of the set, and a customized letter. Just guessing though... ;)
