I was reading Sexy Celebs' great review of House of a 1000 Corpses, and it got me to thinking of that king of mindless gore, that manufacturer of meat--Hershell Gordon Lewis. Lewis' films are cult favorites among horror fans like me.
Now, if you're a horror fan and you've never even heard of Lewis I recommend that you get your hands on not one, but at least two of his films. I recommend Blood Feast , and 2000 Maniacs. Let's just say that he's known as "The Godfather of Gore" for a really good reason. These movies are not for the squeamish, but definitly shouldn't be missed by the horror fan. It's best to view these films with a friend who is interested in like genre because anyone else will think you're insane. I swear they're so low buget they look like "snuff films", they're not though...really. I've included the following links. Sorry his homepage is a little outdated, but if you're interested in what he's about, it's a good place to start learning about the man.
