Midnight Mass

Nothing so appalling in the annals of horror! This week, Peaches and Michael offer up a blood red celebration of the Godfather of Gore – HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS! In addition to discussing this exploitation legend’s many contributions to underground cinema, our hosts delve into his undeniable influence on the splatter films of today. Joining the conversation is cult phenomenon Babette Bombshell, who not only shares stories of her time making movies with Lewis, but also offers insight on his razor-sharp acumen. Then, acclaimed editor of ULTRA VIOLENT magazine Art Ettinger stops by to dig into his lifetime of love for Lewis’s gore-soaked cinema, as well as his thoughts on some of this foundational filmmaker’s “deep cuts.” From Suzie Cream Puff to She-Devils on Wheels, this episode has it all!
