It's Friday!

30 Day Horror Challenge: Day 09 - Your favorite horror exploitation / grindhouse type film:


My favorite horror exploitation / grindhouse would have to be the original Wizard of Gore from 1970. I love Herschell Gordon Lewis films and this is definitely one of the best. It is filled with really cheesy special effects and a good plot. It's about a magician who performs a show where he selects a female volunteer and appears to put swords, drills, and such through them. They walk away fine and everyone applauds, then they show up somewhere else dead with the same injuries they sustained in the magic show. Police are baffled and can't tie the murders to the magician. There was a remake made and it came out in 2007 which is actually just as good but in a different way.
