The Godfather of Gore in HD: ‘The Blood Trilogy’
Three films from the Godfather of Gore will bleed Blu-ray dry this September.
In an early announcement to retailers, Image Entertainment has listed Herschell Gordon Lewis’ The Blood Trilogy for Blu-ray on September 27, reports High Def Digest.
The release will include:
Blood Feast (1963) – An Egyptian caterer kills various women in suburban Miami to use their body parts to bring to life a dormant Egyptian goddess, while an inept police detective try to track him down.
Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) – Six people are lured into a small Deep South town for a Centennial celebration where the residents proceed to kill them one by one as revenge for the town’s destruction during the Civil War.
Color Me Blood Red (1965) – A crackpot artist kills various people to use their blood as his new crimson red color for his paintings.
Specs and supplements still haven’t been revealed yet, but suggested list price is only $17.97.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
