FAREWELL, HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS...

You were one of a kind for sure, Mr. Lewis, redefining the horror genre, mixing ultra-gore with far-out humor. 


The likes of "Blood Feast", "Two Thousand Maniacs" and "Color Me Blood Red", to name the earliest, trendsetting entries in what became your long-lasting, horror saga, have inspired me no end, particularly in my writing. Your showmanship was also unsurpassed: a blueprint for all young filmmakers to follow, even though it's unlikely they'll ever match your macabre wonderment.
