Most of the tracks on the CD are from the scores to Lewis’s first two gore films: the seminal Blood Feast, for which Lewis is currently directing a sequel (his first film in 30 years!), and 2,000 Maniacs. The score to Blood Feast sounds like nothing else; combining monotonous kettle drums (played by Lewis) whose thump signals DOOM!, an organ that sounds like some mean-spirited child hijacked the keyboard at his grandma’s funeral, and an inebriated violin, it sure is unique Rounding out the CD is a hodgepodge of title themes (gore & non-gore), a few strange doomy psychedelic rock numbers from Blast Off Girls, and couple of promotional spots typical of the halcyon days of exploitation, when both threadbare junk and actually decent films were hyped with the same degree of embarrassing fervor (“Both of these films are in color – which even makes the horror more horrible!”).
Original scores composed by Herschell Gordon Lewis.
