    Drag Me To Hell

    This is the Kiss entry route.

    Are you brave enough to face your worst fears? To celebrate the release of the scariest movie this decade; Drag Me To Hell, we are offering you the chance to win a jaw dropping £4,000. Great. BUT to grab the cash you’ll have to be prepared to be dragged to hell and face one of ten possible, terrifying challenges, voted for by the public!

    Think you could stomach a Brain Burger or survive an eel filled bath? If your answer is a spine tingling “yes”, just enter your details below for your chance to win.

    Now if there was an "I'm a celebrity"-style task involving rats, I'd be well up for it! But being sealed in a box - no way

    Good luck to all the MSE'ers who enter though! Just think of the offal milkshake as a Maccy D's - I imagine they're pretty similar ingredients! :rotfl:
