Count me in. Gore Gore Girls is a particularly offensive offering.

Gotta love the meat tenderizing scene.

THE WIZARD OF GORE (1970, Unrated, 95 Mins.):
Is it magic? Or wholesale slaughter? Montag the Magnificent (Ray Sager), THE WIZARD OF GORE, is a seedy small time magician with a shocking stage act. Hypnotizing pretty young women from the audience to be his obedient volunteers, Montag then proceeds to mutilate them in a series of Grand Guignol illusions. A woman is cut in half with a chainsaw, another is drilled through the stomach with a giant punch press, a metal spike is driven through one gal's head, and two ladies are forced to swallow swords. Trouble is, after the show, the "illusions" become all too horribly real. Blood, guts, and offbeat surrealism in another crackpot classic from "The Wizard of Gore" himself, director Herschell Gordon Lewis.

THE GORE GORE GIRLS (1972, Unrated, 81 Minutes):
The screwiest, sexiest, goriest one yet! A lunatic with a grudge against G-strings, pasties, and pretty women is slaughtering the sexy strippers who work for night club impresario Marzdone Mobilie (Henny Youngman.Yes, the Henny Youngman). Not content with mere murder, the psycho enthusiastically mangles and mutilates the women, thus turning Marzdone's go-go girls into THE GORE GORE GIRLS. Trying to solve the gruesome goings-on which include buttocks bashing, eyeball popping, face ironing, and body boiling in a bowl of French fries are obnoxious private eye Abraham Gentry (Frank Kress) and ditsy reporter Nancy Weston (Amy Farrell). And by coercing Nancy to perform in an amateur strip contest, Abraham offers the killer the perfect bait...A wicked mix of sick comedy, topless dancing, and ultra-violence makes the final film from director Herschell Gordon Lewis (Blood Feast) one of the ultimate B-movie gross-outs of all time!

I guess Evil Dead if those are my choices. HG Lewis movies are generally entertaining cheesy dialogue by actors that can barely read a cue card and extreme red paint looking blood and guts. Love them though and they are fun to watch. I had an HG Lewis phase and I tried to watch like all of his movies. I got through the gore flicks and some of the biker ones and lost it about there. His movies are good in short bursts, not marathon's. Definitely getting this though.

Cool, I mention Grave and Salo because those I just couldnt stand.

HG's movies are pretty different from anything you listed. EVIL DEAD is probably closest, but that's more advanced and stylized. Just watch these from YouTube -- lots of spoilers however.

I'd agree it's more Evil Dead..because these are more gore, less disturbing content.

Thank you for asking this question. I've been on the fence about this release because I generally enjoy horror/gore films, but ever since I saw "Salo" about 2 years ago I've been scared to try any new - needless to say I found "Salo" to be a little too intense for my personal tastes, but it was part of requirements for a class I was taking at the time (Film Theory: Sex, Violence and Gore).

If you take a course in "sex violence and gore" you can bet they're not going to make it fun. School is like that.
