Description: "Get ready for a hair-raising ride through a world of filmmaking so bizarre, so gross, and so low-budget that even its chief practitioner claims the films were "excreted" rather than released.".

"You'll shudder as lurid ad campaigns are recreated before your eyes! You'll scream at the bad jokes and tasteless anecdotes! You'll recoil as filmmaker Herschell Gordon Lewis compares his work to classic poetry! And you'll love this detailed, delirious history of a (mutilated) body of work in which chicken guts were human organs, blood was concocted from Kaopectate, and a cow's skull was cast as a human head floating picturesquely on the water (except that it sank, ruining the shot).

Here is Lewis's complete story - rich, authentic, and hilariously told through extensive interviews with the filmmaker himself."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes filmography (p. 183-186) and index.
