On Oct. 3, 2016, a website called That Viral Feed published an article reporting that a nightclub in Amsterdam was hosting a Blood Rave on Halloween, and that the event would include the dumping of real blood on clubgoers: This story was wrong on numerous accounts. An event called a Blood Rave actually occurred in 2015, but it didn't feature the use of real blood, though organizers at the time were less than clear about the details of the event and led several publications to run stories implying that real blood would be sprayed on clubgoers. For example: The event's organizers later released a statement clarifying that the Blood Rave would employ synthetic blood, not real blood: The Blood Rave was inspired by the opening sequence of the vampire movie Blade. While the event in Amsterdam was billed as the world's first, similar events took place across the globe, such as the Blade Rave at Comic-Con in New York in 2015 (an event that also used synthetic blood).
