Fourteen of the Godfather of Gore’s finest attractions, newly restored from original and best surviving vault materials.So put your feet up, pour yourself a glass of good ol’ moonshine, and prepare yourself for a feast – H.G. Now, for the first time ever, Arrow Video is proud to present fourteen of the Godfather of Gore’s most essential films (including nine Blu-ray world debuts), collected together at last and packed full of eye-popping bonus content. Lewis reads like a veritable wish-list of exploitation movie madness. But whilst Lewis is most widely celebrated for his blood-and-guts epics (Two Thousand Maniacs!, The Wizard of Gore et al.), there’s more to the prolific director than splatter.įrom tales of sordid photographers (Scum of the Earth) to sex robots (How to Make a Doll), from biker girl-gangs (She-Devils on Wheels) to youths-run-amok (Just for the Hell of It), and from psychic witches (Something Weird) to hard liquor-loving hillbillies (Moonshine Mountain), the filmography of H.G. It’s no exaggeration to say that the modern gross-out movies of today owe their very existence to the pioneering efforts of H.G. That sequence was just one of numerous gruesome gags featured in Blood Feast, the film credited as being the world’s first gore movie. In 1963, director Herschell Gordon Lewis pulled a cow’s tongue out of an actress’ mouth on camera, and in doing so, changed the landscape of horror cinema forever.
