Academic, radio station manager, filmmaker, ad man, sentenced to three years of prison for fraud – Herschell Gordon Lewis was a classic American of a type. His exploitation film career was the core to his subcultural fame, a slightly downmarket Roger Corman in respects, but with some legendarily bizarre 1960s horror films like Blood Feast and Two Thousand Maniacs! to his credit. The Eyepopping Sounds draws together the music – most of which is his own work, sometimes performed by others – from those two films in particular as well as cuts from a variety of other features and various trailer and promo dropins. The Blood Feast tracks are the most weirdly notable, consisting of murkily atmospheric instrumentals – plus “Tragic Kettledrums,” per a song title – plus dialogue from the film and songtitles like “Brains Knocked Out” and “Ancient Weird Religious Rites.” The Two Thousand Maniacs! cuts have a proto-Deliverance vibe thanks to the bluegrass group the Pleasant Valley Boys, but for pure garage sleaze, the birth control anthem-as-such “The Pill” (not Loretta Lynn’s) can’t be beat.
