Happy Birthday, Herschell

Herschell Gordon Lewis, "The Godfather of Gore", turns 82 today.

Getting his start producing and directing nudie-cutie films in the early 1960s,
it is when he collaborated with producer David Friedman to make Blood Feast 
in 1963 that secured him infamy in the annals of horror films.
The director would go on to make a myriad of horror and exploitation flicks
throughout the 60s and early 70s before going into semi-retirement.

Here's a collection of posters from some of his more notorious titles.  Enjoy!
