The Art of Bleeding

This Halloween weekend Art of Bleeding will be returning to The Steve Allen Theater to present an enlarged (“inflamed”? “engorged”?) version of our 2006 Halloween car crash show.   This excerpted video, shot by Chuck Cirino of Weird TV, should give you a taste of what lies in store for guests of our 2011 extravaganza. The [...]

  Here are a few more photos from this weekend’s publicity shoot for our upcoming show.  After the bloodbath, that is. (PHOTOS BY PHIL GLAU.)
