LawrenceA Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 When Herschell Gordon "H.G." Lewis is mentioned, filmlovers usually think of his groundbreaking 1963 classic Blood Feast, or the cult favorite Civil War drama Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964). However, my personal favorite is the completely unhinged 1967 masterpiece Something Weird. Few other films combine witches, psychics, LSD, karate, the spirit world, and excellent late 60's fashions like this piece of celluloid treasure. Below I'll list my ten favorites, so feel free to mention your own favorites, although I know with so many choices, it will be hard to narrow it down to just a few! Something Weird (1967) Blood Feast (1963) Scum of the Earth! (1963) She-Devils on Wheels (1968) Color Me Blood Red (1965) Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) The Wizard of Gore (1970) Just for the Hell of It (1968) A Taste of Blood (1967) The Gruesome Twosome (1967) Honorable mention: The Gore Gore Girls (1972), This Stuff'll Kill Ya! (1971), Year of the Yahoo! (1972), Blast-Off Girls (1967), The Alley Tramp (1968) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveGirl Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 "Color Me Blood Red" is my favorite since I like movies about the artist life. One knows they are an artist when they would rather buy paint [or blood] than use their money for food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarjoe Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Scum of the Earth (1963) don't believe I've seen any of his others I've just never been much of a fan of gore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJH Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I have avoided Lewis's product because I don't care for films of excessive sentimentality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
