The Blood Trilogy - Herschell Gordon Lewis

Blood Feast (1963)



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056875

Director: Herschell Gordon Lewis

Writer: Allison Louise Downe (screenplay)

Genre: Horror/Comedy

Cast: William Kerwin, Mal Arnold, Connie Mason, Lyn Bolton, Scott H. Hall...


Well loved by members of Lewis's small but loyal cult, as well as by some bad movie fanatics,
Blood Feast is a low budget horror film about an insane Egyptian caterer who kills people so that he can include their body parts in his meals and perform sacrifices to his "Egyptian goddess" (the deity in question is actually Babylonian), Ishtar. Blood Feast immediately became notorious for its explicit blood, gore and violence. Many people consider its most infamous moment to be when the murderer rips out a young woman's tongue on camera. (An effect achieved with fake blood and a sheep's tongue.) Blood Feast is also one of the first films to show people dying with their eyes open.

Blood Feast is the first part of what the director's fans have dubbed "The Blood Trilogy". Rounding out the trilogy are the films Two Thousand Maniacs! and Color Me Blood Red.
