I also had that Grusome Twosome VHS, in fact I sold it ebay years ago. I had that Go Kart DVD of Bloodthirsty Butchers and The Rats Are Coming... and it was terrible, I sold that off as well.

Now.......the pantiless girls in Splatter do add A LOT to the viewing value of the movie. I'm especially fond of the scene where the girl "fucks" the mutant to the point where his head explodes. HAHAHAHAHA!

I remember how they documented all the special effects, which are so laughably inept that I was doing more realistic stuff for my home movies when I was 12 years old. The girl who gets cut up is the absolute worse, as they created this big, saggy-ass looking splash-latex body that was the most unbelievable I have ever seen. Andy Milligans effects looked like they were created by Tom Savini in comparison. This movie is one of those so bad it's funny type of films, but I wonder if the people working on it were in on the joke. Brant

Still though......Splatter is good for a laugh!

I had never seen this on the Meteor Video label. 88 Minutes so it is cut BUT I dig that cover! One of my favorite Italian cannibal movies and what I consider Deodatos' best.

They have some really great articles about this wonderful time in home video. I remember seeing many of these titles that are shown in this thread on the shelves. I rented a many of them too. I currently don't have any myself since I gave a bunch to my former spouse. But, I wish that DVD companies would just reuse the artwork from the old VHS. Most of the DVD art that's out now looks like crap.
