PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 Fangoria Blood Drive II competition ran from October 31, 2004 to midnight April 15, 2005 and resulted in a fifty percent increase in submissions. "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."
