I guess the Snob wanted to go through some of HGL's more gory features before moving on to Just For The Hell of It.
Reply to this
Great review, Brad, but c'mon, I love the McRib!
Surprisingly, for my Film Studies thesis, I'm going to be talking about the films of HGL and goresploitation in general, and how and why it was more successful in the south and midwest compared with the coasts, and how the drive-in played a big part in that. Was wondering if you did any scholarly work in this field I could draw upon for my thesis? I'm still in the gathering stages.
Again, great review!

Hey, Might have something for you. In October 8 2010 HGL did an interview with Coast to Coast AM where he talked about some of his movies and how he used the "please don't go see this movie" trailers as a draw. If you want I am subscribed to the Coast to Coast AM audio stream link and could get you the MP3?

It's easy to get a hold of Lewis himself, I would think he would talk to you for your thesis...
Just look up his website online and contact him there!

I remember this movie. Dang, it brings me such good memories with my family groaning and me enjoying it! Thanks, CinemaSnob!
BTW, Looove the soothing funeral music...
Saludos from Puerto Rico!!!!

Looks like I'm not the only one who hates "that's what she said" jokes.

I happen to live with a The Office freak fan. And because I really love I haven't knock him on the head every time he does that shit. But I'm seriously tempted...
Reply to this
My first name is pronounced "Fur-rahd", and this movie's villain is named "Fu-ahd". Too close for comfort, I say. Very unprofessional.
Reply to this
I am disappoint.
Oh, and if you touch Blood Diner before me now, I swear I'm going to blow up the internet!
Reply to this
Hey Brad, do Blood Diner!
Reply to this
Since you mentioned before that you'd be willing to break your cut-off date for sequels or remakes to films you've reviewed, does this mean we'll eventually see a Blood Feast 2 review?
Reply to this
Whipped Girl is a night light desert topping to finish off any Egyptian feast. I'm suprised he would have left it behind.
Reply to this
Hmmmm this review makes me hungry for Cherry Pie filling for some reason!
I'm curious of that Wizard of Gore movie is it like a horror movie version of Wizard of Oz!? That'd be awesome!
Reply to this
It's not, trust me. It's more like the Wizard of BORE. Basically you'll watch a man in a bad stage magician get-up attack mannequins filled with red paint. There's some stuff about mass hypnosis but it's all very vague and the ending is an attempted twist so hackneyed and clumsy it'd make M. Night blush. You can look it up on Youtube. I certainly wouldn't PAY to see it.
Reply to this
Agreed, it's one of his weaker ones. At least Color Me Blood Red has those insane paintings in it!
But seriously, you want your curiosity for HGL piqued? Try The Gore Gore Girls. Gore, strippers (including a HILARIOUS strip scene to oompah-band music) and comedy. Henny Youngman's in it!
Reply to this
Also does this mean the 2000 Maniacs getting reviewed anytime soon!?
Reply to this
1stly please do "Blood Diner" next or soon Brad. anyways, my brother met the dude who directed this. last i heard he was a really nice guy. &
i think he even is in contact with him by e-mail. i've actually never seen this film. but i did forget that one dude in the show 'The Office" which i can't fucking stand i'm sorry it just
bores the hell out of me. anways i forgot he was in these films back in the 60's.

Dear Snob,
Fulci is God, this is a minor prince.
Reply to this
I met HGL at the Rue Morgue Festival of Feat in Toronto... and hewas a hell of a great guy! Was very personal and generally seemed to appreciate you as a fan!
Roger Corman on the other hand was a dick...
Reply to this
Ah, HGL. The man who went from nudie cuties to gore because red paint was cheap and he had some unused film. He made Roger Corman look like a big spender.
Personally, I vote for Color Me Blood Red because it tried to be kinda arty. Sort of.
Reply to this
ah so that's where that trailer opening came from, i'd seen it before in a SWV trailer for Deadly Weapons 1974 with Chesty Morgan.
Reply to this
I saw this on tv a long time ago back when I was a wee lad in the 80's. This movie scared the shit outta me. Now as an adult I go "Damn't little me. Man up."
Reply to this
Awesome! I love when a new Snob video is of a movie I've actually seen. Never used to happen that often, but it has recently. Watching now.
Reply to this
Of course, Ishtar isn't an Egyptian Goddess. Astarte is. Or Isis, if that's your taste
Reply to this
Oh, hi, Lloyd.
Reply to this
Ishtar is babylonian. doubt you care but still. as Brother None above noted.
Other then that liked the review
Reply to this
oh wait! you did mention that. nvm. thats why I dont comment much
Reply to this
Brad points out the movie's goof near the end of the episode. Maybe watch the whole thing before you nitpick.
Reply to this
Why the hell is there a cucumber on the police chief's desk?!
Reply to this
Man, did that 4th victims tongue come from Gene Simmons? My god that tongue looked out of place.
Why didn't Fuade just behead both women at then end there anyway lol. Not like it would have been hard.
Reply to this
Man, that film was an insult to Egyptians!
I've seen the trailer on Screw
dTube; it looked like typical mid-60s drive-in schlock shot down in Florida for audiences in the Ozarks. I'm sure the cannibalism had the hicks barfing in their popcorn buckets.

If I want to see someone give crazy eyes
I'll watch Nic Cage in Vampire's Kiss.
Thank you very much.

"Not one clue!"
This movie is great. So funny and ...unprofessional.
The acting is so strange it seems like people seem to think they're in a comedy. I think the best part was when Faud was speaking to the mother, and got so caught up in being eerie that he nearly gave away his plan to her.
Reply to this
"He also co-directed Monster A Go Go"
Oh , so he's an asshole , then.
Monster A Go Go was by far the only movie riffed by MST3K that I hate with a passion.
I never hated a movie in my life so bad like that movie , it was boring as hell , almost nothing happens in it , and had the worst , most terrible twist ending in the history of cinema , even the riffing of Joel and the Bots couldn't save it !
unlike other bad movies like Manos and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians , which are both charming in there own way , and became one of MST3K's best episodes.
anyway , nice review , Brad. but you should review more movies from the 40s , your review of Hitler: Dead or Alive was amusing to watch. ^^
also , review Blood Diner next , just to piss off "Q your face X" !
PS: LLOYD !! @_@

I would put most of the blame for Monster A-Go-Go on Bill Rebane. HGL could be counted on to deliver the exploitation goods when it was a project he cared about (clearly not the case with Monster A-Go-Go). Something you clearly CAN'T say about Mr. Rebane.
Oh, and Monster A-Go-Go is at least paired with the unintentionally HILARIOUS Psyched By the 4-D Witch on the Something Weird DVD. In fact, I'm surprised Brad hasn't got to that one yet.
Reply to this
Oh yes. Fun classic flick indeed. I like how you snobbed up in this, made it very obvious you gave a character's opinion of the film.
Didn't know Herschell was involved with Monster A Go Go... I don't feel that one doesn't have any trace of the zany magic of Hershells flicks.
Reply to this
Ishtar wasn't exactly an Egyptian goddess, but her cult was a big hit in Egypt, especially during the time periods when they had their most popular pharoahs, Ramesses and Tutankhamun and Amenhotep and so on. Egyptians would have called her "Astarte" however. And I have no clue what the ritualistic murder is about.
Reply to this
Ha! My family has a bit of a history with Blood Feast as when it was new, my mother and her two brothers went to see it, only to leave after...about 90 seconds.
Reply to this
My, my, you were extra snooty with this one. LOL. Despite the gore, this movie looks no better the movie Teenage Strangler. Even if I saw this when I was three it wouldn't have been upsetting, it looks so silly.
Reply to this
Was this the same Blood Feast that was featured in "New Year's Evil"?
Reply to this
Another fantastic, hilarious Snob video.
Made twice as good by including a few seconds of Lloyd.
Reply to this
awesome episode man. when are we gonna see any new episodes of "THE BIG BOX"???? i miss those...
Reply to this
When the kettle drums started, it reminded me of the old Golden Harvest theme. That music makes me think I'm gonna see a kung fu film or a sexploitation...
Reply to this
You gonna review the maniacs film? Maybe I've got my facts mixxed up, but wasn't there a remake (and sequel to remake) of that film recently?
Reply to this
Now it might be that my cereal was too crunchy while watching this review, but I am pretty sure I heard a Darkman reference in this review. Which makes me kinda want to watch Darkman again.
Reply to this
Brad, your recognizing Ishtar as a Babylonian deity rather than an Egyptian deity, that is awesome!! Kudos.
Reply to this
Great review, Brad! Even greater with that Darkman reference!
Greetings from Puerto Rico.
Reply to this
Brad, you HAVE to do a review of Blood Lake. It is THE WORST shot on shitteo movie of all time.
Reply to this
Ishtar isn't even Egyptian
Reply to this
This was also an older title to be listed on the UK DPP/Video Nasties list.
Reply to this
Awesome. Now I know wtf movie the son on Serial Mom was talking about. He should have watched Salo.
Reply to this
Really? No "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee"? We all know, thanks to this movie, that the heart is in a wounded knee! As Phelous would say, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Reply to this
I probably not the only one to say this but is there a reason this was the first movie by Herschell Gordon Lewis you did for this series?
Because due to such association Lewis had with the grindhouse and splatter movies that's really surprising.
Reply to this
Wow, lol. So when the lady is getting into the bathtub at the beginning and the Snob calls the book "Ancient Weird Religious Rites" I laughed my ASS off because I thought he was making a crack against The Bible!
...but then I paused the movie to actually read the cover, and it ACTUALLY says "Ancient Wierd Religious Rites!" WTF?! LOL!
Reply to this
You should do the unofficial sequel to this film. The Epic BLOOD DINER
