The Wizard of Gore
Herschell Gordon Lewis (Pittsburgh, 15 giugno 1926 – Fort Lauderdale, 26 settembre 2016) è stato un regista e produttore cinematografico statunitense di genere horror e gore. È riconosciuto dalla critica cinematografica come progenitore del genere splatter. Attivo in campo cinematografico soprattutto negli anni sessanta e '70 del secolo scorso, ha successivamente svolto prevalentemente l'attività di pubblicitario (copywriter e direct marketing) ed ha scritto una ventina di libri sull'argomento. I suoi film sono quasi tutti a basso costo e con attori quasi sconosciuti che spesso non hanno più partecipato ad altri film. La maggior parte dei suoi lavori sono inediti in Italia e quei pochi ad essere usciti sono stati distribuiti direttamente in DVD. Wikipedia
