Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #107!






The Wizard of Gore  (Mayflower Pictures, 1970)

Herschell Gordon Lewis strikes again with this batcrap crazy gore flick about a stage magician who performs gory illusions on female audience members - who then turn up dead the same way some hours later! I rather like this one because it's just so damn weird! It's Goresploitation!











Fast Lane Fever  (aka Running on Empty)  (Cannon International, 1982)



I haven't seen this Ozploitation racing drama - but after watching the documentary Not Quite Hollywood I sure want to!










Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS  (Cambist Films, 1975)



Hat trick! This one is Nazisploitation! Another one I haven't seen - and I'm kind of sorry about that - as it would have been neat to rent from some local video store on VHS. I'll still check it out given the chance - but a cleaned up Blu-Ray is going to deduct slightly from the grindhouse charms this would have had on videocassette.







Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

    Craig, where do you find these posters? They are amazing. Goresploitation! Nazisploitation! Yep. I would love to see the Nazi one for sure. You are absolutely right about the blue ray.

      My misspent youth is a big factor in a lot of these posters! You might be scarred permanently if you check out Ilsa - notice the upper right corner - the X rating - it gets pretty salty during its running time...and it's not all sex and nudity! Caveat emptor! And cheers, Luana!

    Oooh...did not notice that. They should make an R version for the masses...

    She Wolf of the SS...I LOVE it!! You have to see it. What a cheesefest, so exploitative, but hilarious. I want to see that first one, I love those gory black and white pics.

      I really want to - and noodle around with the idea of trying to glom onto the VHS on Ebay or something...if we get the Imaginarium/LGOOH Film Festival to happen - The Wizard of Gore will be on the docket!

    Never seen ILSA, but heard lots of awesome things about it. I will definitely check it out soon. Nazisploitation ftw!! :D

    Never heard of "Fast Lane Fever" before. Got a goofy title here: "Mike in 3,8 auf 100", which means that Mike gets from naught to hundred in 3,8 seconds :D

    Seen all of Herschell's horror films, except that one. Me lame :/

      Nazisploitation ftw indeed! I love the Fast Lane Fever title - Mike is one fast driver! And we can plug The Wizard of Gore in to our film festival as well!
