Splatter Films

          Splatter cinema, made famous by the self-proclaimed "guru of gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis," re-invented the splatter film in 1963 with the release of Blood Feast. Blood Feast was made quickly and cheaply but differed from its genre contemporaries in that it featured the stalking and mutilation of beautiful women. Lewis went on to use this successful formula to make movies such as 2000 Maniacs,  Color Me Blood Red, and The Gruesome Twosome.
