NEW YORK, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- With Halloween right around the corner, Lagardere Active North America (LANA) is bringing fright to mobile phones with two horror movie classics -- Halloween and Night of the Living Dead. The exclusive license will allow users to download everything from wallpaper and video clips, to logos and video ringers on your cell phone from these scary movies. For all horror movie buffs, exclusive content (available for only a few months) include wallpaper of zombies walking in the night from Night Of The Living Dead, as well as wallpaper of the famous pumpkin and knife poster and the classic theme song to Halloween. Cellphone carriers Cingular, Sprint/Nextel, T-Mobile, and Boost Mobile will distribute the unique offering.

This exclusive Halloween content marks the kick-off of LANA's seasonal offering. With the changing months, LANA will make available the best content for all seasons. "We have found a considerable consumer desire to personalize their phone using seasonally-themed content, but a dearth of creative and exciting product in the marketplace," explains LANA CEO, Julien Mitelberg. "We are continuing to set a higher standard and you can bet that Christmas will never be the same."

Hot off the heels of launching BlingTones and its Latin sister brand BarrioMobile(TM) and crunking phones with video game Crunk Golf featuring "King of Crunk" Lil Jon, this exclusive offering is another extension to the popularity of the exclusive and original mobile content available through LANA.

BlingTones(TM) represents the next level in the ringtone phenomenon, bringing exclusive and original content to cellphone users including music, wallpaper, voice ringers, ringbacks, images, video, etc.
