I've got the two R1 Something Weird HGL box sets. I like HGL films, especially THE GORE GORE GIRLS and TWO THOUSAND MANIACS but I've never been able to warm to his films in the same way I have with similar(ish) trash filmmakers of the time such as Andy Milligan, Larry Buchanan and S.F. Brownrigg. For all of the quirks his films have, a lot are bogged down by some mindless tedium, I think WIZARD OF GORE is especially a victim of that and what stopped it from becoming a bona fide classic. I will say one thing though, no self respecting gorehound's collection is complete without his films in. That's for sure.
I have 2001 MANIACS sat in the pile though haven't got round to watching it yet.
