Lynsey Jacob, 26, of New York City, won a behind-the-scenes set visit to the upcoming fairy tale thriller "Snow White and the Huntsman," starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. These are her stories.

I want to begin this post by saying that I still can’t believe I won the "Snow White and the Huntsman" Facebook sweepstakes…and the trip is over! So many people have told me how lucky I am (which I won’t deny in this case), but the only other thing I’ve ever won by chance was a laundry basket at my high school’s after-prom. So in the words of Kristen Stewart, this was a BFD.

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving I received an email telling me I was the grand-prize winner, and less than a week later, I was on a red-eye to Heathrow with my best friend who came as my guest. On the morning of November 30, a car picked us up from the hotel. I was on the verge of hyperventilating, and we were on our way to Pinewood Studios!

The "SWATH" unit publicist met us there and drove us around, giving a full tour of the studios before taking us through the different sets, mostly consisting of castle interiors. I saw costumes, the magic mirror and the milk bath the Queen uses (it felt like thin Elmer’s glue). I found out once I arrived on set that Kristen (Snow White), Sam Claflin (Prince William) and Chris (the Huntsman) were all there and I’d have a chance to meet each of them. Pfft, I wasn’t nervous at all.

Ally Condie"Matched" author Ally Condie closes out our celebration of all things fierce and futuristic with something a bit more fuzzy—her Guide to a Dystopian Holiday. Ally's latest novel, "Crossed," is out now.

It’s the season—decorations are up, festive music is in the air and people are pepper-spraying each other on Black Friday at Wal-Mart. (I still can’t believe that happened!) This perfect storm of holiday-ness and just plain craziness made me think: What if we had a dystopian holiday celebration? Here are some suggestions for getting in the proper mood:

Listen to this: “Machine” by Regina Spektor. One of my favorite things about Spektor is that I’m never entirely sure what her songs are about—they are full of layers and nuance. I like writing that is open to interpretation, and Spektor has that in spades (plus the music itself is gorgeous, of course). This song just has a dystopian feel. I’ve been listening to it over and over as I’ve worked on the final book in the "Matched" series.

For today's Dystopian Week entry, we asked Hollywood Crush friend and "Hunger Games" Examiner Sara Gundell to compile the ultimate Dystopian Survival Guide. Take a look and tell us: Are you ready?

It’s no secret that dystopian fiction is "the new black" these days. I mean, that’s why we’re celebrating Dystopian Week, right? The genre litters the shelves of book stores right now, especially in the young adult section, with dozens of new titles competing for the attention of "Hunger Games" fans eager for something new to read.

But do you have what it takes to survive a dystopian future? If books like "Blood Red Road," "Legend" and "Divergent" are to be believed, we’re on our way to a less than picture-perfect future—and who knows if it could happen sooner or later. So best be prepared, just in case. Here are a few tools and skills you’ll want to acquire now to make sure you survive:

With their inspired collaboration, "The Future of Us," hitting bookstore shelves November 21, we asked authors Carolyn Mackler and Jay Asher to explain the unique premise of their novel and reflect on how today's decisions shape who we become.

Carolyn: In "The Future of Us," Emma and Josh are two teenagers in 1996 who've lived next door to each other their entire lives. Emma gets a new computer and, even though there's no such thing as online social networking yet, this random thing called Facebook appears on her screen. Emma and Josh are completely baffled, but soon realize her computer is offering a time-warp glimpse of their lives 15 years in the future. They see who they marry, where they work, what they just cooked for dinner and they can even check what kind of adults their friends have become. A lot of what they learn is surprising, and some are absolutely shocking.

Adam HarringtonBoo! Did we scare you? No? Okay, well, maybe a fright-night feature will get your knees knocking. In anticipation of Halloween, we asked a slew of celebrities to suggest their favorite scary movies to get you in the mood for the ooky, spooky holiday.

You probably know today's guest blogger, Adam Harrington, best as Adam Conant's dad, Ethan, on The CW's "Secret Circle." Which flick scares Adam? "Encounter With the Unknown"!

"A boy loses his dog in the woods in Missouri, nearby they find a mist-shrouded hole that moans and growls. When the boy’s dad is lowered by rope down the hole to find the dog, he starts screaming and when they pull him up, he's gone insane and his face changes colors."

Keegan AllenBoo! Did we scare you? No? Okay, well, maybe a fright-night feature will get your knees knocking. In anticipation of Halloween, we asked a slew of celebrities to suggest their favorite scary movies to get you in the mood for the ooky, spooky holiday.

You probably know today's guest blogger, Keegan Allen, best as sweet, sensitive Toby on ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars." Which flick gives Keegan the heebie-jeebies? "The Exorcist"!

The scariest movie I have ever seen, and my favorite horror film is, “The Exorcist." It is a must-see horror/thriller classic. I watch it every couple of years. I have read interviews with the film's famous director, William Friedkin, and he said the award-winning film gets its real “scare” from the feeling that as you watch it, that “demonic possession” could really happen!! Bringing in the church and its teachings adds to the real fear that the devil could move in to your soul!! It scares me still.

Claire HoltBoo! Did we scare you? No? Okay, well, maybe a fright-night feature will get your knees knocking. In anticipation of Halloween, we asked a slew of celebrities to suggest their favorite scary movies to get you in the mood for the ooky, spooky holiday.

You probably know today's guest blogger, Claire Holt, best as "Barbie Klaus" Rebekah on The CW's "Vampire Diaries." Which flicks give Claire nightmares? "The Silence of the Lambs"!

My favorite scary movie would, without a doubt, be "The Silence of the Lambs." Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of the menacing Hannibal Lector is perhaps one of the most frightening and brilliant performances ever. The psychological element to this film is what makes it so much scarier than an average slasher film. I remember being so disturbed after watching it that I swore to myself I would never watch it at night again. I probably should have vowed not to watch it again at any time as it is just as scary in the daylight! A definite must see, even if it's only once.

Jessica Parker KennedyBoo! Did we scare you? No? Okay, well, maybe a fright-night feature will get your knees knocking. In anticipation of Halloween, we asked a slew of celebrities to suggest their favorite scary movies to get you in the mood for the ooky, spooky holiday.

You probably know today's guest blogger, Jessica Parker Kennedy, best as witch Melissa on The CW's "Secret Circle." Which flicks give Jessica the creeps? "The Orphanage" and "The Strangers"!

I love scary movies!!! My two favorites are pretty neck and neck, “The Orphanage” and “The Strangers.” I love “The Orphanage” because the concept is so cool and the story is told in such an interesting way. It's a movie that will scare your socks off, but make you cry at the end. It's one of the most tragic movies I've ever watched and is truly heartbreaking and scary at the same time. The film is also shot beautifully with amazing cinematography.

Phoebe TonkinBoo! Did we scare you? No? Okay, well, maybe a fright-night feature will get your knees knocking. In anticipation of Halloween, we asked a slew of celebrities to suggest their favorite scary movies to get you in the mood for the ooky, spooky holiday.

You probably know today's guest blogger, Phoebe Tonkin, best as bitch witch Faye on The CW's "Secret Circle." Which flick gets Phoebe's blood racing? "Child's Play"!

My favorite scary movie is "Child's Play." I know it’s not that scary anymore, but Chucky gave me nightmares when I was a kid. His laugh is terrifying. My mom owned a toy store and whenever we would go and play in the back room of the store after school, I was always scared of the dolls coming to life. I know I was probably too young when I saw it, but my best friend had an older sister who would babysit us, and one night she was watching it, so my friend and I hid behind the couch and watched it too. I guess I didn’t expect a movie about a doll to be so terrifying. I still like watching it now because it’s so dark and twisted. I like the sequels too, but nothing beats the original. "Bride of Chucky" is pretty good. I plan on re-watching it this year for Halloween! Actually, "Bride of Chucky" would make a great Halloween costume!

Thomas DekkerBoo! Did we scare you? No? Okay, well, maybe a fright-night feature will get your knees knocking. In anticipation of Halloween, we asked a slew of celebrities to suggest their favorite scary movies to get you in the mood for the ooky, spooky holiday.

You probably know today's guest blogger, Thomas Dekker, best as hottie witch Adam on The CW's "Secret Circle." Which flick casts fear in Thomas' heart? "Poltergeist"!

I am obsessed with horror movies, so it's nearly impossible for me to pick one. However, with Halloween coming up, I'd say the best one to get you and a group of friends in the mood is the brilliantly executed "Poltergeist." I first saw it when I was about eight years old, and it absolutely terrified me. When JoBeth Williams falls in the pool and dozens of rotting corpses bob up beside her, it scared me from swimming in any pool for about a year. Even in daylight! This idea that a perfectly normal suburban neighborhood can harbor a secret so dark and a haunting so immense really places you in the shoes of the terrorized family. You can imagine it happening to you no matter where you live.
