Let’s get one thing straight before going on with this post : The SAW movies are horrid.  They are contrived, predictable, and designed entirely for shock value.  That being said, I was previously unaware that the franchise organizes a blood drive benefiting the Red Cross, so it has scored a few points for that.  So far, the only information that I have found on this year’s drive is the campaign poster, but it has donated over 30,000 pints to the Red Cross in years past.

Each year, the blood drive’s poster girl is the SAW nurse, and the ad campaigns have gotten better over time.  Pictured above is the ad for this year’s, photographed by Tim Palen with needle dress design by The Blonds.

Past years’ posters under the jump!

   I agree with opinion about Saw movies, except for the first one. Violence in that one is kind of toned down and twist ending was pretty surprising.

   This campaign though, great stuff. Blood is always welcome!

   Nice to see there was some point to all that moronic violence

   AWw, the Saw movies weren’t THAT bad- the director is just an ADHD spaz.
