FANGORIA BLOOD DRIVE II
Hosted by Mistress Juliya
GET MORE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS WITH EIGHT OF
AMERICA'S BEST SHORT HORROR FILMS
Port Washington, NY (August 22, 2005) - On the heels of the enormously successful
inaugural Fangoria Blood Drive contest and DVD release in 2004, aspiring American
horror filmmakers were given another chance to submit their original entries into the
second nationwide search for the Best Short Horror Film. KOCH Vision and the Starlog
Group, publisher of Fangoria Magazine, are proud to announce the release of Fangoria
Blood Drive II hosted by metal maven Mistress Juliya of Fuse TV's Uranium and Slave
to the Metal. Fangoria Blood Drive II includes the eight winning short films as well as
exclusive behind-the-scenes bonus features with Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead,
Bubba Ho-tep) and KNB EFX (Kill Bill, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate
Events, Scream). Fangoria Blood Drive II will be available on DVD on October 4, 2005.
The dealer order cut off date is September 6, 2005.
The Fangoria Blood Drive II competition ran from October 31, 2004 to midnight April
15, 2005 and resulted in a fifty percent increase in submissions. Aspiring filmmakers
once again outdid themselves by submitting a mind-boggling array of spine-tingling,
blood-curdling and hair-raising films.
"We were all overjoyed by the amazing quality of this year's submissions," says
FANGORIA editor Tony Timpone, a co-producer and co-creator of the BLOOD DRIVE
series. "The fans really came through with an eclectic bunch of shorts, from the cerebral
to the visceral. These amateur filmmakers represent the new future of fear. It is an honor
to showcase their work on this second content-packed DVD. The BLOOD DRIVE is
really growing into something special and something scary."
The winning films included on the Fangoria Blood Drive II DVD are:

·      DISPOSER by BC Furtney, Los Angeles, CA.

·      THE GIBBERING HORROR OF HOWARD GHORMLEY by Steve Daniels,
Columbia, SC.

"We had some very difficult decisions to make in choosing this year winners," says
KOCH Vision Vice President of Development Tim Hinsley, the Blood Drive Producer
and Co-Creator. "Thank you to everyone that submitted films".

The winning entries, judged on creativity, commerciality and technical merit, were
announced on Friday the 13th May 2005. Details about the Blood Drive and additional
