Play psychopath during blood bank horror night in cinema

The horror film Evil Dead Rise will soon be shown in cinemas and that will be celebrated on Friday 21 April in the Kinepolis cinema in Stadshart with a bloody horror night.

During the horror night you can play a bloody victim yourself or the murderous psychopath with film props including sticky tattoos and fake blood. The horror night is in collaboration with Sanquin, which wants to draw attention to the importance of donated blood.

Donate blood

A lot of (fake) blood was used for the horror film series Evil Dead. In part five, which has just been released, so much blood was used that the makers had to set up a production line with fake blood. Unfortunately, you cannot make real blood in the factory and that is why attention is paid to blood donation during this horror night. “Because without blood it’s all horror.”

Sanquin provides, among other things, the supply of blood to hospitals. Merlijn van Hasselt, spokesperson for Sanquin, hopes that visitors to horror night will enjoy their evening while becoming aware of the importance of blood: “Blood transfusions are of vital importance. For people with cancer, for chronic patients or for someone after a car accident. That is why Sanquin seizes this opportunity to underline the message: the real horror only starts when there are not enough donors.” Sanquin therefore hopes to get more blood donors with this film promotion.
