The Soska Sisters Assemble Massive Blood Drive Anthology for Women In Horror Month

Published

on

February is Women In Horror Month and Jen and Sylvia Soska (the Twisted Twins) have once again delivered are once again going above and beyond with their annual blood drive. This year, the duo have announced a month-long anthology series of PSA videos that will be shared each and every day on their YouTube Channel. Yes, there’s a new one every single day.

Here’s a letter from the duo about what you can expect:

“It’s that magical time of year again where we Sisters Soska don’t just want to spill blood on the screen, but want YOU to bleed for us. Don’t worry, it’s for an incredibly good cause…

Now in its 9th epic year, February marks the start of another “Women In Horror Month” meant to promote equality and celebrate the great artists both working today and the trailblazers who’ve come before.

As we all know women are quite capable and we’re not asking for a handout. Just some support. We’ve even taken it upon ourselves to be the ones giving back. You can’t think horror without thinking blood and we’ve long wondered why the horror genre hasn’t already thrown its weight behind the blood donation cause. So we did it.

As part of WiHM, each year we search out filmmakers from across the globe to make their own Public Service Announcements for Blood Services and Red Cross. The only requirements are that you have to be passionate about the cause and you must be a feminist. I’m proud to say that this year we have a record-setting 30 TEAMS that have participated. Magnificently each PSA was made with the filmmakers using their own money and resources along with generous donations and numerous volunteers.

We have a different theme each year and this year is BE A HERO.

In previous years, we’ve combined them all into one mega-anthology, but this year we’re making it our BIGGEST year yet. EVERY day in February (starting January 31st and ending March 1st) we will be releasing a NEW PSA via our Twisted Twins’ YouTube Channel. Please subscribe.

We are very proud to announce our outstanding list of contributors for our 2018 WiHM Massive Blood Drive:

Thank you so much for watching, but PLEASE be sure to make an appointment to donate. We need you. After all, it’s in you to give.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.

Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).

The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.

The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”

Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”

Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
