16 gallons of blood went into making the last thing that Herschell Gordon Lewis would direct which would be this movie. His two tales — “Gory Story” and “The Night Hag” — aren’t great, but they have lots of blood and Lewis hosting them. “Attack of Conscience” is completely unrelated to the feel of the […]
Herschell Gordon Lewis has informed both sides of my life, from his work in direct marketing teaching me the ways of marketing and his propensity toward making shameless exploitation showing me the ways of the world. Directed by Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case) and Jimmy Maslon, this film takes you through the life of Lewis with the […]
Shot for $1,000 in Florida on Super 8 — yes, so much SOV is another format, but go with this — Tim Ritter and Joe Preuth made a movie that is basically two teenagers playing Jason and The Shape in their sunburnt hometown and yet there are moments that transcend just dicking around with a […]
There’s a moment in this movie where a date happens at the drive-in to watch Grave of the Vampire and that’s how you know this is a movie, because the girl in that scene is so impossibly gorgeous the fact that she’s down to go see Michael Pataki and eat in the car proves that this […]
Directed, written and produced by David Schwartz, Las Vegas Bloodbath follows the storyline of so many SOV films, which seem to be indebted to Herschell Gordon Lewis movies that came out two decades before: man gets screwed over, man goes insane, man brutally murders women as the camera focuses on the gore. Sam Butler returns to […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally on the site on December 24, 2020. Happy holidays, everyone. To help celebrate, this is the first of two very horrifying holiday options for you to watch. Despite Santa being in the title of this movie, he only briefly appears, but that isn’t why we watched this movie. No, we’re […]
13. A Horror Film That Takes Place at a Fair, Carnival or Amusement Park. Leonard Kirtman mostly directed adult, churning out titles like The Seduction of Cindy, Up Desiree Lane and Confessions of a Candy Striper, often using the name Leon Gucci. This is one of the few movies he made without penetration yet it has all the […]
This was a parody of everything that had come before in the gory and sleazy Herschell Gordon Lewis and if anything, goes even further than all that had been done in the past. Reporter Nancy Weston (Amy Farrell) has offered detective Abraham Gentry (Frank Kress) $50,000 if he can solve the murder of Suzie Cream […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: This isn’t the Herschell Gordon Lewis movie. No, instead the Dewey-Friedland Cannon released The Red Queen Kills Seven Times under this title. This originally appeared on the site on August 24, 2017. Emilio P. Miraglia followed up The Night Evelyn Came Out of Her Grave with this giallo freakout — starring the magnificent Barbara Bouchet (Don’t […]
I was sent some information on a Kickstarter that I think that fans of the site may be interested in. Ridley Mortis has a new book of horror poems and limericks to delight and disgust your whole skeleton crew of fiendish friends or rotten relatives. The book is called Poems of Grave Importance and it’s […]
