The Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Godfather of Gore.

From top left:

  • Scum of the Earth (1963)
  • Blood Feast (1963)
  • Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964)
  • Color Me Blood Red (1965)
  • A Taste of Blood (1967)
  • The Gruesome Twosome (1967)
  • She-Devils on Wheels (1968)
  • The Wizard of Gore (1970)
  • The Gore Gore Girls (1972)

While a film like Blood Feast might be considered laughably inept and amateurish by today’s standards, it remains to be the film that is single-handedly responsible for the concept of “gore” in a horror movie.  Herschell Gordon Lewis dared to show audiences what others were too afraid to, and set the scale for all splatter movies that have followed since.
