Recommendations: Filmgore and Zombiethon
Some viewers enjoy long films with an intense plot and plenty of room for thought and analysis. However, there are other viewers who like a “sampler platter” of horror film clips and want nothing more than to simply (and thoughtlessly) absorb the gruesome images before them. For these viewers, a double feature of gory horror film compilations is recommended…..
Filmgore (1983) – Hosted by Elvira; clips for this compilation are from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Blood Feast, The Fiend, Drive-In Massacre, The Driller Killer, The Astro Zombies and many more. The host segments were shot on video and feature a lot of one-liners by the famous horror host.
Zombiethon (1986) – There are several films in this compilation, including Fulci’s Zombie, Zombie Lake, Oasis of the Zombies, The Invisible Dead, Fear and a few more. Each segment is bookended by people being chased by zombies (usually in rubber masks) into an abandoned theater to view the clips.
