Bleeding for Women In Horror Month

This coming February has been designated as the first ever Women In Horror Recognition Month. It shall be the first of many.

As we all know, women are an important part of film in all genres and the horror film industry is no exception. Yes, women do get a lot of recognition for the good they do and the legacies they leave behind, but Women In Horror have yet to be recognized in a manner such as this. And we're not just talking about the busty B movie bombshells that get covered in blood and gore while fighting passionately against the forces of darkness. The true legends...

What would Alien films have been without the talented miss Ripley? Who could scare the living crap out of grown men as easily as the possessed Regan in Exorcist? Or what about the brilliant female director, Mary Harron, who put herself on the front lines to take on an enraged group of feminists and bring us American Psycho?

And where does the blood come in? Well, you can't think "horror" without thinking of blood and guts and since we're quite attached to our vital organs, we Twisted Twins got to thinking about how we can give back in a way that honors Women in Horror and has a massive impact on the world. The answer seemed simple. Blood. After all, it's in you to give.

So, this February, we're inviting you to come along with us to bleed for Women in Horror. It's an incredibly good cause and something that many of us find off putting and terrifying. Time to face our fears and help out those who need us. Time to be fearless like the badass bitches we've come to love and idolize.

So, who can give?

Just between us, boys and girls

I can only tell you so many words about American Mary, boys and girls, but I promise I will tell you everything.

There is a new band that we are very very fond of- the very talented Mr. CJ Wallis and the very talented Miss Kayleigh Goldsworthy are Elective. Their first single, The Stitch-Up of Bloody Mary, is fucking rad.

Listen, enjoy. Happy December!
