FYB is Delighted to bring You Tonight’s feature the 1965 Cult Classic Splatter COLOR ME BLOOD RED by None Other than “The Godfather of Gore” Herschell Gordon Lewis! Color ME Blood Red is the Third Movie in what Fan’s have Dubbed Lewis’s Trilogy of Blood/Gore along with Lewis’s Blood Feast 1963 (Also Featured on FYB), and Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964).
Brief Plot Summery: Color ME Blood Red is The Gruesome and Gory Tale of the Temperamental and Annoyingly Pompous Painter Adam Sorg. Adam is obsessed with becoming the Next Big Thing in the Fine Art World, and is Desperately trying to Sell His Paintings to a Local Art Gallery. A Prestigious Art Critic who was invited to the Exaction is Shocked and Appalled by the Sorg’s work much to His Dismay. The Critic makes a Snide Comment about how Sorg’s Paintings Lack True Color which set Sorg off Down a DARK, BLOODY, AND MURDEROUS PATH to Critical Acceptance.
Later back at Sorg’s Art Studio His Obnoxious Girlfriend accidentally Cuts Her Finger on a Nail sticking out of a Painting Frame. Sorg sees the Blood on the Canvas and His Psychotic Mindset leads Him to Believe that Blood provides the Color His Art has been Lacking. While convincing His Girlfriend to Use Her Blood She Recoils at the Thought, and tells Sorg to use His Own Blood. Sorg takes Her up on Her advice and Starts Painting Using HIs Own Blood, But there’s the Demented Dilemma that Sorg’s Body can Only Produce so Much Blood. Sorg then turns to Brutally Killing Female Models and HARVESTING THEIR BLOOD as a Source of Color for His Ongoing Works. Will Sorg’s Self Indulgent Slaughterfest make Sorg the Artistic Icon He Yearns to Be, Or Just an Insane Self Absorbed Serial Killer?! You’ll have to Watch and See. Enjoy
Hope You Enjoyed this Bloody Little Art Lesson as Much as We Did.
Thanks for Watching,
