[Video] Go Behind the Scenes of the ‘Jigsaw’ Blood Drive
A Halloween tradition resumes when Jigsaw heads to theaters on October 27, continuing the Saw franchise after a seven year absence. Along with the new film comes the return of the franchise’s Halloween Blood Drive, which will allow YOU to shed blood and save lives.
The franchise has to date collected 120,000 pints and saved 360,000 lives!
The forthcoming Jigsaw Blood Drive will be open to EVERYONE, and it’s kicking off on October 5 in New York. The Blood Drive will then expand to 25 cities in the following weeks. Donating will nab you a free ticket to see Jigsaw in theaters.
Check out a behind the scenes video from Tim Palen’s nurse-themed Blood Drive photoshoot below, featuring Amanda Lepore, Shaun Ross, Mykie, Nyakim Gatwech, Susanne Bartsch, Grae Drake, Dan Rockwell, and Mosh!
Blood Drive locations can be found on JigsawBloodDrive.com.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
