| FANGORIA BLOOD DRIVE II |
Port Washington, NY (May 13, 2005) - KOCH Vision and the Starlog Group, publisher of Fangoria Magazine, are proud to announce the winners of the second Fangoria Blood Drive. 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 original short- form genre films in the second nationwide search for the Best Short Horror Film. The new contest resulted in a fifty percent increase in submissions as 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.” |
