Amidst a budding publishing career, Hugh Gallagher dipped is toe in the bloody world of z-grade video making with his infamous “gore trilogy” GORGASM, GOROTICA and GORE WHORE. Torn from the pages of Draculina magazine, these “making of” articles take a peek at the trials and tribulations of making a movie for less than the cost of a used car! Actresses fail to show, threaten to sue, reveal their pectus excavatum (look it up!), breast feed their toddler before a lesbian scene, are just the tip of iceberg in this tell all book! Originally published in 1994, Playgore has been updated with even more facts about the movies along with a new chapter that includes the history of Draculina Publishing. If you are a burgeoning moviemaker you can learn from these moviemaking mistakes. If you are looking to be entertained, you can laugh at these moviemaking mistakes!
For fans of Draculina Publishing and the “gore trilogy” this book is a must have! For those unaware of this dark area of entertainment, its theme may best be summed up by drive-in movie reviewer Joe Bob Briggs in his syndicated newspaper column, in which he wrote about GOROTICA, “Six dead bodies, may best sum up its theme. Seventeen breasts. Rat-in-the-face. Closeup piercing (yeoww!). Whips. Chains. Stomach-carving. Drive-in Academy Award nominations for Ghetty Chasun, as Carrie the perverted party girl, for saying "Death is a funny thing, but nobody's ever laughing" and "I've never had one this fresh before"; Bushrude Gutterman, for dying in the first five minutes of the movie but FINISHING THE MOVIE; and Dingo Jones, as the small-time rock-and-roller who says "Look, he's my friend, and I say we cut him up."
