“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 14
[Thank you, we have our winner, this contest is now closed. Congratulations to faithful Macenstein reader Matt!]
On the Fourteenth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A set of Monster’s Beats Headphones by Dr. Dre!
Above: Apple sells these bad boys for $349, but they can be yours for free if you’re lucky.
I want you to close your eyes. (Actually, don’t, or you won’t be able to read the rest of this post). Keep your eyes open, but now I want you to imagine the coolest looking, most amazing-sounding headphones you can. Now, imagine even cooler ones. OK, you picturing them? Well, the Beats Headphones by Dr. Dre are twice as cool as those.
Dr. Dre worked with Monster for three years to come up with the Beats, and it shows. Universally heralded as AWESOME by Engadget, TIME, Macworld, CNN, and more, the Beats have dethroned Bose as the reigning champ when it comes to quality, noise-canceling audio. With advanced speaker design, powered amplification, and active noise canceling, Beats delivers all the power, clarity, and deep bass today’s artists and producers want you to hear. In fact, these things are so cool, they can even cover Michael Phelps’ giant ears (click here, and click “Media” to check out the celebrity photos, including Phelps, Gwen Stefani, Akon, Kanye and others loving their Beats).
The Beats fold up small for travel, and are even compatible with the iPhone, as one of the two included cables has a built-in microphone and in-line remote, so you can hear your iPhone conversations in crystal clear, noise canceled bliss as you ride the train, or attend NASCAR.
To enter: Since the Beats are made by Monster, the scariest name in high quality audio and video, leave us a comment telling us what you think is the coolest monster ever (It’s obviously Super Grover, but I’ll entertain runner ups). Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!

Oh! Good Question! I don’t remember the name of the mosnster, but I do remember that I was 4 years old and my parents took me to the theater and there was a scene where a chair that had hands grabbed someone from behind. That scared the hell out of me. I cried, and one after another other children started to cry!

Doc – pick me, pick me – this is one Christmas present I need. I edit video all day – this would be sweeeeet!
The scariest monster has to be Frankenstein, but not because of anything to do with his own character. The scariest part is ourselves.
Beats!! I heard they sound amazing
I’d go with jabberwocky as well.. particularly this one version if it I saw on some rather bizarre Story about an elderly Alice with the characters from the book haunting her kind of…
and for all those who said Frankenstein.. note.. the Monster is not Frankenstein.. However his creator is Frankenstein and was more scary than his creation… at least in the book, but meh..
