With Women in Horror month right around the corner, Dread Central is thrilled to announce that we’ll be hosting Jen and Sylvia Soska’s annual Massive Blood Drive! Before the PSAs land on YouTube, you’ll be able to see them here first! The first PSA will run this Monday, February 3rd!

Every February The Soska Sisters (American Mary, Rabid) invite filmmakers and feminists from across the world to celebrate Women In Horror Month by creating short PSAs encouraging blood donation. They can be as short as and uncomplicated as an artist desires, but they do limit the maximum run times to ten minutes.

“This will be our 11th year celebrating Women In Horror Recognition Month,” Jen explains. “It all started over a decade ago when founder Hannah Neurotica pointed out that women are not getting the recognition they deserve; in fact, they’re often being written out of history! And so Women In Horror Month was born and alongside it the Massive Blood Drive.”

All February long Dread and the Soskas are encouraging people to donate blood. That’s all. There’s no catch. You donate blood and everyone wins.

“It’s a civic duty that’s often overlooked,” Jen continues. “Not everyone has cash, but blood is just about the most selfless donation one can make.”

This year’s theme is Transformation and this year’s tag line is “Be The Change”. And, of course, there’s the classic: “Blood. It’s In You To Give.”

Filmmakers range from first-time creators making their debut to the twisted minds of Troma and beyond, all uniting to encourage us all to save lives by donating blood today.
