Editorial Review - Description

The most barbaric humor since the guillotine! Crazy old Mrs. Pringle runs "The Little Wig Shop," where she specializes in wigs made entirely of human hair. Offering to rent rooms to local college girls, Mrs. Pringle scurries the gals into a back room where her psycho son, Rodney, provides the "wigs" for his mama by gorily scalping the women. But when a co-ed friend of amateur sleuth Kathy disappears, Kathy investigates until she too comes face to face with Rodney and his new electric carving knife... A macabre blend of humor and horror, "The Gruesome Twosome" is another berserk epic from director Herschell Gordon Lewis (The Gore Gore Girls). It also has one of the strangest openings of any horror film: two Styrofoam wig heads with cartoon faces amiably chat about the upcoming plot until one of them abruptly gets stabbed. WOW!

You have a problem if...

A Customer Review by John Doe
you think this sort of thing is "entertainment". Evil is not a joke. People are naturally designed to be revulsed by violence and gore. If you have trained yourself to overcome this human trait, you have jaded yourself into a spiritually and psychologically dangerous place.

When I was eight years old my loving parents took me and my sister to see "Samson and Delilah" at the local drive-in theater. Before the movie started, a graphic trailer for this piece of trash was projected onto the screen. Our whole family was horrified, and I was forever changed. I had never seen anything like that, and now, at age 45, I wish I still had not. I have never been able to fully expunge the disgusting images from my mind, though I have tried.

It wasn't funny or entertaining. It was horrifying to see, and perhaps more horrifying to think that anyone would want to see this for entertainment, or that anyone would make it, or that anyone would WANT to make it.

The theater operators should have been sued for foisting it upon unsuspecting customers.

Most of you reading this will instantly conclude that I am a puritanical prude or some such. I ask you to consider that perhaps it is your own perspective that is out-of-whack, and it's time to look for the pure, the true, the beautiful, the good, and the love in life. These are the creations of God; against these there is no law, and no expiration date. The truth IS just the same old story. I pray that you may find it.

nonsense+horrid acting+gore+H.G.LEWIS=blueprint classic!!!!!
