Herschell Gordon Lewis

He’s been hailed as both a visionary and a provocateur but what sets iconic writer/director/producer Herschell Gordon Lewis apart from the rest of his peers is how business-minded his approach to the horror genre has always been since the very beginning.

"Godfather of Gore" Herschell Gordon Lewis is back - with his biggest and bloodiest film yet! Film Ranch and Cult Movie Mania have announced the August 30th DVD release of The Uh-Oh! Show, the all-new horror/comedy by acclaimed horror film legend H.G. Lewis, director of Blood Feast and Two Thousand Maniacs.

And the list of folks we want to kiss today continues to grow. Next up for our affections? Image Entertainment for their announcement that they're bringing The Godfather of Gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Trilogy to Blu-ray! According to High Def Digest Image Entertainment has listed Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Trilogy for Blu-ray on September 27th.

Any time that we get to report on a classic horror film hitting DVD in style, we cannot help but smile. Especially when the title is something as obscure as Monster A-Go Go! From the Press Release

Fantasia 2010 is in full swing, and one of the films that has already screened is the mostly well received documentary Herschell Gordon Lewis - The Godfather of Gore. Dread Central's favorite cartoonist Rick Trembles is also a resident of Montreal and a regular attendee of the annual film fest so of course he had to weigh in with his 2 cents on the film.

Up for grabs for three lucky readers are copies of the brand new Blood Feast 2 DVD, Herschell Gordon Lewis’ super-gory sequel to his 1963 groundbreaking splatter flick Blood Feast.

Another exclusive image from Tim Sullivan's upcoming sicko-sequel 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams has fallen into our laps but that's not the only cool news here ... Director Tim Sullivan is reaching out to fans to add a bit music to the carnage? Who wouldn't want their band associated with Tim's special brand of mayhem and fun?!?

To say that we're eagerly awaiting Tim Sullivan's 2001 Maniacs: Beverly Hellbillys is a bit of an understatement. The dude is just one of us through and through as evidenced by the gleeful amount of sick he puts into his films. This coming sequel looks to be no different!

Just a few days after the teaser art for 2001 Maniacs: Beverly Hellbillys dropped, we've now gotten our hands on the official word concerning Tim Sullivan's sequel and the first ever stills for you guys to dig on!

One sequel we're gleefully anticipating around the Dread Central offices is Tim Sullivan's follow-up to his remake of the "classic" Herschell Gordon Lewis flick 2000 Maniacs, entitled 2001 Maniacs: Beverly Hellbillys! Why? Because Sullivan is a madman and gets what it is that he's making ... a no holds barred non-stop gore-laden freak-out with its tongue planted firmly in its cheek.
