<p><font size="6" color="#FF0000"><b>F</b></font>rom 1959 through 1972, writer/producer/director Herschell Gordon Lewis
left an indelible stamp on the film industry--as
the unquestioned "Godfather of Gore." <i>Blood Feast</i> (1963) was simple in story and often laughable from an acting
standpoint--certainly no threat to the established classics of the horror
genre in this regard. But the selling point was unique--never before had
such lingering, full-color grue been displayed on any theatre screen...let
alone in such quanitities as <i>Blood Feast</i> offered. The result? An
unqualified sensation--and the horror film genre would never be quite the same
again.
