Color Me Blood Red (1965) : Written and directed by the amazing Herschell Gordon Lewis. An eccentric artist is criticized by a well-known critic at the opening of his gallery that he does not have a good sense of colour. He therefore starts a new series of paintings, for which he uses his own blood as paint. Soon however, he is too weak due to blood loss and begins using the blood of young women instead.
Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) : Another Herschell Gordon Lewis film that is amazing. It's 1965 and the residents of Pleasant Valley, Georgia are celebrating their centennial and they divert six tourists to their town. There, the unsuspecting six are treated as guests of honor but in fact will soon be the victims. The centennial the town is celebrating is its own destruction at the hands by a group of Union soldiers during the Civil War and their goal is revenge. One by one, they kill their guests of honor until only two remain. They flee but can't quite convince the police to help them.
