This is it folks, the ultimate T-shirt tribute to the first "gore" film of all time - "BLOOD FEAST". This bloody b-movie was made in 1963, it was directed by the cinematic innovator Herschel Gordon Lewis. Before he made this film Lewis mostly made low budget "nudie-cutie" films but as the audience for these dried up he decided to go a different route. He wanted to give the World something it has never seen before -

he wanted to show DEATH up close and graphic - to show "people die with their eyes open" all in GORY Color! Well he succeeded by single handedly creating the first "gore" film, a BLOOD-n-GUTS bonanza! The story is based around a mother who wants to give her daughter a special "Egyptian Feast". She goes to a local caterer, Fuad Ramses, who is more than happy to oblige her wishes for an unusual feast. Little did mom know that freaky Fuad planned on sacrificing her daughter at the party to appease the Egyptian god "Ishtar". To prepare for this feast Fuad goes on a body part collecting rampage and hacks up half of the town! This gave HG Lewis a perfect story line to show some of the most graphic "gore'" ever put on celluloid. Tongues are ripped out, heads are smashed in and a leg is hacked off - all in "Blood Color"! I bet this film had 'em puking in all of the Drive-In's that dared showed it! The film was a rural "hit" and it spawned HG Lewis and company to spew out many more gorific films- but none would have the success of "Blood Feast". Modern gore films like "Friday the 13th", "Dawn of the Dead" and countless others owe a special homage to "Blood Feast" and visionary director HG Lewis, for it was he who had the GUTS to do it first!
