What Is True Blood From HBO?

What Is True Blood From HBO?

About True Blood from HBO:

Using a viral campaign aimed at many blog owners, True Blood on HBO was looking for some exposure via curiosity as they engaged the different web site owners with mystery envelopes and encrypted letters.

The show is based on a book series by Charlaine Harris, called Southern Vampire Mysteries. It takes an interesting twist on the idea of humans and vampires co-habitating in a small Louisiana town after the vampires have discovered a Japanese-made synthetic blood called TruBlood.  This moves the vamps from predators to “fellow citizens.”

This obvious scenario creates an amount of tension that can be taken advantage of if done well.  With religious leaders and world governments having chosen their sides, the jury is still out in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps.

Is This A New Movie Viral Campaign - SOLVED!

Is This A New Movie Viral Campaign - SOLVED! MYSTERY SOLVED!!!

This looks like it has something to do with the upcoming HBO vampire series True Blood. My bud Devin from CHUD.com has informed me there is an HBO series coming soon called True Blood and one of the plot points of the story is the creation of a synthetic blood called “tru blood” which allows vampires to reveal themselves to the world now that they no longer have to prey on humans.

This aligns with the quote I found buried on Revenant.com:

“Thank You For Answering The Call And Joining Us.
But What It Means To Us Is Almost Beyond Words.
Tru Blood can sustain us. The Bonds of Blood Will No Longer Hold Us Hostage.”

And it also aligns with the mysterious initials “T B” that are in the letter below.

Nothing remains a mystery long on the internet.
Original post follows…

Ok… now either this is the start of some new, clever viral marketing campaign for a movie that’s coming out soon - or I’m embarrasing myself by posting up something I received in the mail that’s totally unrelated to any movie at all.
I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out just what the item I received today in a translucent envelope really is. The only vague clue is the inclusion of the initials T.B.

For more information and pictures of what I received, read on.
