YMMV / Blood Feast

• Complete Monster: Fuad Ramses is an Egyptian caterer who worships the goddess Ishtar. In order to resurrect his goddess, Ramses kills young women to make them into the dishes of a blood feast for her. After getting enough flesh, he kidnaps a woman and whips her to get her to agree to be Ishtar's vessel, leading to her demise. He then tricks the guest of honour at a party he's catering into agreeing to host Ishtar, nearly killing her before being stopped by the police.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Fuad Ramses worships the statue of Ishtar and kills women in gruesome ways which scared some audiences in 1963. 24 years later, the name Ishtar would again strike fear into the heart of theater-goers!
• Narm: This film has not aged well. The over-the-top acting, glaringly obvious special effects, and cheesy music score makes for one hell of a So Bad, It's Good Halloween movie night.
  • "Have you ever had... an Egyptian Feast?"
  • "Well, Frank, looks like it's gonna be one of those long, hard ones!" Has to be heard to be believed.
• Nightmare Fuel: A woman getting her tongue pulled out of her mouth. It involves an actual sheep's tongue and a considerable amount of stage blood (and the first actress the producers could find with a mouth large enough to hold both).
• Once Original, Now Common: With plenty of horror films released after this one containing better effects and gore, it's safe to say not everyone would find most of the content in the film to be as shocking as it was.
• Special Effects Failure:
  • A more appropriate title would have been Red Paint Feast.
  • Averted with the tongue-ripping. Eugh!
