BLOOD FEAST

There will never be another movie like BLOOD FEAST—the first "splatter" film in horror history.

Written by Allison Louise Downe, produced by David F. Friedman, and directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis, BLOOD FEAST follows a caterer named Fuad Ramses who is hired to provide "an authentic Egyptian feast" for a birthday party. He wastes no time in committing unbelievable mutilation murders to appease an Egyptian goddess named Ishtar.

John Waters said it best: "I first saw BLOOD FEAST at my local drive-in. When I saw teenage couples hopping from their cars to vomit, I knew I had found a movie after my own heart." A direct influence on Waters (MULTIPLE MANIACS), Frank Henenlotter (BASKET CASE), and dozens of 1980s slashers, BLOOD FEAST erupts with pop-art brain-bludgeons, tabloid-style ghoulishness, and pitch-black gallows humor. The movie's legendary status as a subversive benchmark is enhanced by the contributions of Allison Louise Downe—a writer, producer, special effects artist, actor, and assistant director who deserves to be immortalized for her contributions to horror and exploitation history.
