The Corpse Grinders (1971)

It's a double dose of grind as the Phantom Erik and Lester Reaper welcome you to their pre-Halloween episode on grindhouse, and the associated 'The Corpse Grinders' film from 1971. Released by established grindhouse filmmaker Ted V. Mikels, the plot follows a group of men, running out of money and product for their cat food business, resorting to the use of actual human corpses. The effects backfire, however, when the cats their food is marketed for develop a taste for human flesh! We look back at the development of grindhouse culture in 1970s America, while spending some time pontificating on the direction the horror genre would take with its introduction.
