THE WIZARD OF GORE / Mayflower Pictures - 1970

Time to go off the edge, Herschell Gordon Lewis is the driver. Herschell brought us stuff like BLOOD FEAST, TWO THOUSAND MANIACS!, MONSTER A-GO GO, COLOR ME BLOOD RED, SOMETHING WEIRD, THE GRUESOME TWOSOME, SHE-DEVILS ON WHEELS and plenty more twisted flicks. Today's story's about a TV talk-show hostess and her boyfriend who investigate a shady magician with the ability to hypnotize and control the thoughts of people in the audience in order to stage gory on-stage illusions using his powers of mind bending! It's one Hell of a tale, filmed in Chicago.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our smelly chum bucket, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a sample from... THE WIZARD OF GORE!

Well, here's the eager, stylish audience ready to be gored big time!..

For his first trick, Montag the Magnificent pulls out his handy chain saw to entertain the audience! The saw does its job and makes for lots of gore to enjoy.

Nice picture of the... Err, the chair! Yeah, nice chair, I'd like one of those for my place!

For his second illusion, Montag asks some dude from the audience if the metal spike is real.

Yes, it's real, so, Montag pounds it into this gal's head and then pulls out her brain!

The illusionist goes to the morgue and steals a female body after putting the goofy mortician in a trance. Looks like he's saying bye-bye to someone.

Break time, okay, who's hungry for some fried chicken?!.. Buck, buck, cock-a-doodle-do!!

For his next trick, Montag uses his large hole punch machine to drill through this pretty screaming gal's bloody guts.

This time, he rams long swords down the throats of two girls! Wow, some bras are not very attractive under those tight fitting blouses.

TA-DA!!!..

Check out this office space. Now, that's one weird ass place to work!!

After Montag is supposedly burned to death, the talk-show hostess and her boyfriend celebrate the event. Hey, great looking 1970's apartment!

The celebration is brought to an abrupt end!.... MONTAG!!!.. Well, we can only imagine what Eegah!! has in store for us on Wednesday, til then.. MONTAG!!!
