How Do I Create This Effect?

White background layer and red Type layer.

Attach an empty white mask to the Type layer then paint black splatters in the mask. Black in a mask causes the respective pixels of a layer to not show.

Personally I think that was done in Illustrator or another vector application.

But, you can also find many grunge brushes (and patterns) on the Internet. One such set of grunge brushes:

There are also several other (some similar) workflows to create "distressed type," including some such FX from Photo F/X Corp, in their Type F/X series. Not sure if they are still around, or have perhaps been acquired by another software company. A Google Search for "distressed type" yields tons of tutorials, and some sources:

Good luck,

PS - there might even be an old tutorial series that I did, back in the NNTP days, but it was for PS 3, when type-handling was much different.
