Time for another Women in Horror Month Massive Blood Drive short flick. This one is a ton of fun! Read about it and see it below!

From the Twisted Twins official press release: 

Next up is a segment from an extremely talented Canadian filmmaker (who usually kicks my butt at horror short competitions) who has taken the leap from wearing every other hat on set to directing her first short, Marilyn Thomas.

You are going to love this one - it was a perfect storm of killer amazing talent who came together to make it happen including American Mary's Paula Lindberg and fellow Canadian artist heavy weight, Crystal Lowe.

DISCLAIMER: This IS Horror, boys and grrls, so SOME of these do have VERY naughty content. Blood. Gore. EXTREME gore. Disturbing situations. Nudity. Sexual situations. Violence. Language.

If you are SENSITIVE to this kind of content, be a mature human being and just don't watch. No need to spoil the fun for us fellow weirdos. We're not hurting anyone. It just REALLY looks like we are ;)

THE BLOOD HITS THE FLOOR AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT!!!

Tune into Marilyn Thomas' 'Blood Bus' 

Credits/bio
Why this is important:
I've always been a fan of the blood drive, but because of health issues, have never been able to donate. Last year, I found out that people of color are very rare donors. I realized that as a First Nations person, I wanted to change that. This year, I'm not only donating blood, but I've signed up as a bone marrow donor and ensured to check off organ donation. Blood donation is the easiest to give. It takes minutes, and you don't have to die to help someone out.

"Got Blood?" by Aislinn Clarke

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Aislinn Clarke is a film-maker and writer/director, whose work has been professionally produced for film, stage, and radio. She has an academic background in Film and Scriptwriting up to Master's degree level and has worked in film, TV, theatre, and radio, locally and internationally, for fifteen years. She is the first woman in Northern Ireland to write and direct a produced feature film, The Devil's Doorway, which was invited to showcase at BAFTA in London, later screened at the Cannes Film Festival and has secured international distribution. Aislinn is also contracted to write and direct feature film The Crossing for Boudica Films (who produced the BAFTA nominated films Iona, The Falling) and another feature film Touched for BAFTA nominated company Rocliffe. Her radio work has been broadcast on BBC radio nationally, as well as in the USA, Canada, and Germany. She has been profiled as a theatre director in The Stage magazine, and her theatre work has toured extensively across the UK and Ireland.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT:

"As a film-maker with an interest in horror, I see lots of blood and I'm always thinking of new ways to spill more. In fact, there are more ways than I can imagine - everyday we're at risk of accident or emergency and our medical services are always in need of more blood. My husband has a rare blood type and, as much as I would sometimes be tempted to spill it, it is precious stuff and he donates it regularly. I bake him cookies for after - I'm not a monster! Blood donation is not something that many of us think of until the need is right in front of us. It's important to be prepared and who better to remind an audience of that than us film-makers with blood on the brain! It's an honour to be asked to contribute to this year's Massive Blood Drive by utterly heroic Jen and Sylvia Soska, who for me have already shown what it means to "Be A Hero".


Look for a NEW WiHM Massive Blood Drive PSA every day with the last one appearing on March 1st.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT :

"I celebrate Women in horror month every month. Without the wonderful women of the horror genre, we would have no Frankenstein (thank you Mary Shelley). We would have no Creature from the Black Lagoon (thank you Milicent Patrick). And we would cease to exist.

I think these days more than ever, we need to remind ourselves that each of us emerged bloody and crying from the womb of a brave and strong woman.

It is my pleasure to be a part of this collection of short films that celebrates the wonderful women of Horror."

Joe adds on the subject of blood donation:

"Blood is life. It's in all of us. For most of us, it flows in abundance. But there are those out there less fortunate. 

Donating blood means donating life. Now more than ever, we need to band together to help our brothers and sisters in need.

Not all of us can donate financially. But nearly all of us can donate the fluid of life to help someone else live theirs.

It's truly in you to give . Thank you for donating blood. Thank you for being a true hero. <3 font="">
