Biographie
Called “The Godfather of Gore” by audiences and critics, Herschell Gordon Lewis was born on June 15th, 1929 in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania), and along with his partner, David F. Friedman, he specialized in the production of exploitation movies like Living Venus (1961), B-O-I-N-G! (1963) and The Adventures of Lucky Pierre (1961), which combined comedy, drama and nudity, were shot in just one week and had budgets of approximately 8,000 dollars (!). His international success came thanks to his bloody horror movies, filmed in color, Blood Feast (1963) —considered history’s first genuine gore movie— 2,000 Maniacs! (1964), Color Me Blood Red (1965) and A Taste of Blood (1967).
