We've taken a little break from our weekly Insert Caption contests for the time being, and instead will be doling out really super cool special edition Insert Caption contests every now and then when you least expect it (and when we happen upon a very cool prize). Like, for example, several copies of the Paranormal Activity DVD -- due in stores tomorrow. But why wait on line and pay for a copy of one of this year's hottest and most talked-about films when you can write a funny caption and win one for free?

Yup, for this special edition Insert Caption we have five (5!) copies of the Paranormal Activity DVD to hand out to the five folks who most impress us with their caption for the photo below. Additionally, Paramount is running another cool contest to go along with the DVD release where you can win tickets to an upcoming Paramount Pictures movie premiere. All you need to do is watch Paranormal Activity starting at 12:01 AM EST on Tuesday, 12/29/09 and tweet to @TweetYourScream with hashtag #UpAllNight for a chance to win two tickets to the upcoming movie premiere. For more on that contest, head here.

The rest of you looking to score a free Paranormal Activity DVD can scope out the image below and throw your best caption in the comments section. Good luck!

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that's always wondered why vampires don't carry any nasty diseases with all the blood they drink. Last week we asked you to churn out some pirated captions for a photo from the new film Pirate Radio (in theaters now). Congrats go out to our three winners for broadcasting their unique sense of humor across these fabulous internets.

1. "Everyone thought it would be a great idea if he changed his name to Phillip Claus Hoffman. They knew it was time to stop drinking..." -- John R.

2. "The chances of two of them showing up with the same hairstyle was one thing, but all three? That called for another round." -- Charles P.

3. "It took a while to decorate, but it was all worth it when he got them drunk enough to believe it was Christmas." -- Ben M.

This week we're celebrating an upcoming vampire spoof comedy called Transylmania (in theaters December 4th), which follows a group of college kids who decide to do a semester abroad in Romania (who wants to go to school in Romania?), and learn that if strange eclectic food won't kill them, a hungry group of vampires will. The blood suckers behind our three favorite captions this week will limp away with one Transylmania hat, one Transylmania button and one Transylmania mini poster. Sound off below ... and try not to, um, suck.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that whole-heartedly congratulates the New York Yankees on their 27th (!) World Series title! Last week we asked you to join a little staring contest with a few our of goat friends in honor of the new comedy The Men Who Stare at Goats (in theaters now).

Directed by Richard Curtis (Love, Actually), the film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost and Kenneth Branagh. The folks behind our three favorite captions this week will sail away with one Pirate Radio soundtrack and one Pirate Radio poster. Sound off below.

Welcome back to another installment of Insert Caption -- the game that spent the past 36 hours staring at goats only to walk away with nothing but a migraine and a funky odor on its clothing. (Oh yes, games wear clothes -- you didn't know?) Last week we asked you to get in touch with your Cagey side and spit out a caption for a photo from Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, starring Nicolas Cage as the kind of guy you really don't want to have to buy Christmas gifts for. Congrats to our three winners for their inspired (and hilarious) captions!

1. "I had the boys mock up the poster to our next movie. I call it "Dress/ Off". -- Remy W.

2. "I know that it sounds romantic and all, but I'm not going to fight that bear for you." - Daniel M.

3. "Just don't let that leopard eat me, honey!!!" -- Joe P.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that, on a good day, is as bad as a corrupt, drug-addicted lieutenant from New Orleans. Oh, you don't wanna know what it's like on a bad day. Last week we asked you to torture us with captions for a photo from the latest Saw installment, Saw VI (in theaters now). Over 300 folks came out for this one, but unfortunately only three survived our evil, sadistic tests.

1. "Introducing ABC's new fall game show- "Extreme Simon Says" -- Shannon T.

2. "Hang out with Jigsaw, they said." -- Jordan K.

3. "Jerry seemed very upset when someone showed up to his Halloween party after having copied his marionette costume idea exactly." -- Abigail M.

This week we're celebrating Werner Herzog's wild and crazy kinda-sorta remakeof Abel Ferrara's dark, cold and twisted 1992 film Bad Lieutenant. This time around, it's called Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, and instead of Harvey Keitel, we get a crazy-to-the-bone Nicolas Cage. The film is due in theaters on November 20th, but the winners of this week's caption contest get to see it a drop earlier as two grand prize winners will each receive two tickets to the AFI premiere of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans in Los Angeles and two tickets to the Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans after-party. One runner up will also receive one Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans photography book signed by director Werner Herzog's wife and book photographer Lena Herzog.

Note: Prize DOES NOT include transportation to/from the premiere and after-party in LA. Winners are responsible for all costs associated with getting to/from the premiere. You also have to be over 21 in order to attend the premiere and after party.

Welcome back to another installment in our ongoing award-winning (imaginary, that is) Insert Caption contest -- where you provide the funny caption and we provide the deadly maniacal trap for you to escape from after claiming victory. Wait, different contest. Let me try again: You provide the funny caption and we provide the totally awesome movie-related prize package! That's better. Last week we asked you to churn out a caption for a photo from Law Abiding Citizen. Congrats go out to our two winners for obeying our laws and taking home some sweet swag. That third winner? Oh, well, let's just say they crossed state lines and, um, won't be playing anymore. Ahem. Kidding. Or am I?


1. "It was the biggest regret of his life to choose a candy bracelet as his last meal. Well, second biggest..." -- Chris O.

2. "TONIGHT, WE DINE... um, in the cafeteria... with the other inmates..." -- Ben M.

This week we're welcoming back our good friend (and world-renowned serial killer) Jigsaw, who, as luck would have it, decided to grace us with his presence for a sixth time with the film Saw VI. (Cue people screaming while trying to escape from some crazy, convoluted death trap.) The three lucky folks behind our favorite captions this week will (assuming they survive) walk away with one Saw VI t-shirt, one Saw VI poster, one Saw VI syringe pen and one Saw VI lollipop.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that's definitely law abiding ... except for that one time back in '87, but we won't go there. Last week we asked you to slam dunk some captions for a photo from the LeBron James basketball doc More Than a Game. Congrats go out to our three players of the game -- next time don't hog the ball so much.

1. "We're looking at making a sequel to Kazaam. Interested?" -- Drew T.

2. "Lebron James reacts to the news that he lost out on the part of B.A. Baracus in the new A-team movie." -- Tim P.

3. "Lebron, I'm really proud of you, and imma let you finish, but Space Jam was the best basketball-star movie of all time!" -- Zach B.

This week we're meeting Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx in a dark alley as both men get ready to square off in Law Abiding Citizen, a film that's definitely garnering some nice, juicy buzz online as it inches toward its October 16 release date. And in honor of the film, we're giving away a pretty sweet prize package to the two people who cough up the best caption for the photo below. And if you happen to be one of the two chosen winners this week, you'll slip away with three Law Abiding Citizen posters, one Law Abiding Citizen T-shirt, one DVD prize pack containing Collateral, 300 and The Italian Job and one pair of Bang and Olufsen earbuds.

Welcome back to another edition of insert caption -- the game that's, well, more than a game ... (okay that one was too easy). Last week we asked you to whip up some captions for a photo from that new coming-of-age flick starring Ellen Page and a pair of badass rollerskates called Whip It. Congrats go out to our three winners for successfully pushing and shoving their way to the top.

1. "With Ellen Page as the lead, critics were extremely surprised at the success of the new hit show on Broadway: Peter Pan - The Full Contact Musical." -- Evan T.

2. "Her teammates began to notice that Ellen's fish grew larger every time she told the story." -- James H.

3. "This is a never before seen casting session photo of Ellen Page trying to convince Sam Raimi, et al. that she would make a perfect Green Goblin." -- Stephen C.

This week we're running up and down the court with basketball's golden boy, LeBron James, who stars as himself in a very entertaining coming-of-age documentary about friendship and overcoming adversities in order to achieve your goals.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that whips out funny captions faster than it takes me to fall down while rollerskating (ie: pretty damn fast). Last week we asked you to churn out your best "Let's make fun of those artsy kids" captions for a photo from the remake of Fame, now in theaters.

Last week we asked you to churn out something adorable for a photo from the little indie you just wanna hug, Paper Heart.

This week we're rolling around in bed with Ashton Kutcher as he gets all sexed-up for his new film Spread, about a serial womanizer who finally meets his match. And because there can only be one Ashton Kutcher, we're giving away one grand prize to the person who provides the best caption for the photo below. That grand prize is (and it's a good one) one Blu-Ray DVD Player, one signed Spread poster and one collection of assorted Anchor Bay/Overture DVDs.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game I've heard turns into a little paper heart when you blow on it and whisper sweet nothings into its ear. Last week we asked you to churn out some caption love for that guinea pig action flick (I never thought I'd use those words to describe a movie, but here we are), G-Force. Though most of you came out in full force for this, unfortunately we could only choose one winner. So congrats go out to Michael S. for a caption that was so on-the-nose we couldn't help but crack up.



1. "These new parachutes haven't been field tested yet, so I need a volunteer, someone who can be a ... guinea pig." -- Michael S.


See full image and all captions





This week we're taking a step away from the wacky guinea pigs and moving more towards a sweet, endearing indie about the trials and tribulations of falling in love. In Paper Heart, comedian Charlyne Yi travels the country in an attempt to figure out the true meaning of love -- all while dealing with a pushy, opinionated camera crew and the ups and downs of a potential real-life relationship with actor Michael Cera. Should you feel up to the caption-ing task, one lucky grand prize winner will walk away with one 16GB iPod touch, one Paper Heart soundtrack, one Paper Heart mini poster and one Paper Heart journal. Paper Heart hits theaters on August 7. Go see it ... and sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that asks you to blatantly make fun of guinea pigs in exchange for some fabulous prizes. Last week asked you to shovel out some cute and cuddly captions for a photo from The Answer Man, and, luckily for us, three of you were up to that challenge. Congrats to you for answering our caption call!

1. "It wasn't until Olivia made it to the office before someone finally told her - there's no such thing as "no pants Tuesday." -- Drew B.

2. "Well, your announcement is a bit of a surprise, but we support you. However, there was no need to literally 'come out of' that closet behind us." -- Nathan T.

3. "And next up on our slideshow...Oh look sweety, it's the night we conceived you!" -- Micah F.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where you provide the answers to questions we never asked! Last week we dabbled in a little bit of wizardry and asked you to provide us with a fantastical caption for a photo from Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince. Congrats to our one grand prize winner for handing us a caption that was too hot for Hogwarts!



1. "Although it was an honest request, Ron decided to leave his helmet on before asking Hermione if she would like to help him find his snitch." -- Lilli H.

This week we're searching for answers with Jeff Daniels in The Answer Man (previously titled Arlen Faber, due in theaters on July 24th), which follows a reclusive author of spirituality books who's approached by a single mother/recovering addict seeking answers and a little help from a guy who can barely help himself. This week the folks behind our three favorite captions will walk away with four Landmark movie theater tickets and one Magnolia DVD prize pack containing: Two Lovers, The Lost City, Man on Wire, Finding Amanda and A Thousand Years of Good Prayers. Think you have the answers? Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that every boy wizard is instructed to play on Fridays while attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Last week we asked you to churn out some laughs for a photo from a very unfunny (but still awesome) film called The Hurt Locker. Congrats go out to our solo winner, who provided us with a caption too good (and hot and fuzzy) to pass up.




1. "You have no idea how badly I want to shoot this gun in the air and shout aaargh" -- Anthony T.
