Promising to provide her guests with an authentic Egyptian feast, Ramses promptly sets about acquiring the necessary ingredients the body parts of nubile young women!Featuring a host of stomach-churning gore gags including the infamous tongue sequence and much more nastiness besides, Herschell Gordon Lewis Blood Feast more than lives up to its name and remains essential viewing for any self-respecting splatter fan.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTSHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard DVD presentationsEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingScum of the Earth - Herschelll Gordon Lewis' 1963 featureBlood Perspectives - Filmmakers Nicholas McCarthy and Rodney Ascher on Blood FeastHerschell's History - Archival interview in which director Herschell Gordon Lewis discusses his entry into the film industryHow Herschell Found his Niche - A new interview with Lewis discussing his early workArchival interview with Lewis and David F.
