About The Gruesome Twosome
A demented elderly woman has her mentally incompetent son kill and scalp various young women to use their hair for her wig shop while a persistent co-ed tries to link various killings on a local Florida college campus to them.
Directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis, The Gruesome Twosome leans on a strong ensemble — Elizabeth Davis, Gretchen Wells, Chris Martell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1967.
