Vampire Barnabas Collins may be condemned to the shadows for eternity, but the American Red Cross and the gothic comedy film DARK SHADOWS are teaming up to bring to light the constant need for blood. Before DARK SHADOWS hits theaters on May 11, blood donors are invited to join the Red Cross and help save lives.

While supplies last, all presenting donors at participating blood drives will receive a DARK SHADOWS themed donor sticker and may enter to win a private hometown screening of the film for up to 50 of their closest friends and family. Official movie posters will be provided to secondary prize winners.  Everyone who comes to give blood will also have a chance to score a pre-screening pass to see the film.
