Something Weird

Something Weird Video is the label that all of Herschell's classic films are on. They also have an incredible collection of other Exploitation flicks and bizarre treats like "Scare Films". If you get a chance, check their website out, you won't be disappointed.

I've been pouring over hours of footage from these films to help get a handle on the look for "The Gore Gore Gore-Met". I really view our movie not only as a horror film and a black comedy but as a real true modern day "Exploitation" film. Webster's defines the word Exploit as: Make full use of and derive benefit from. Let's see, I'm going to make full use of "Gore" and then derive the benefit of shocking viewers and they in turn will tell their friends that they must see "Gore-Met". There is still something unsettling about seeing a individual being dismembered via chain-saw. And let me just say the "The Gore Gore Gore-Met" will be one of the goriest endeavors ever undertaken by exploiters such as ourselves. You wouldn't expect anything less from "The Godfather of Gore" and we wouldn't want to disappoint his legions of fans.
