The Lost Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis Restoration Project

Didn't see a thread for this. I'm always fascinated with finds of films considered lost, even (or maybe especially) exploit-o efforts like these.

Lost Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis

Quote:

Through a combination of luck, happenstance and a lot of negotiating, we've acquired the negatives for acclaimed cult filmmaker Herschel Gordon Lewis' three lost sexploitation pictures, LINDA & ABILENE (1969), ECSTASIES OF WOMEN (1969) and BLACK LOVE (1971) and are seeking funds to properly restore and preserve them and, ultimately, allow the public to appreciate them for decades to come.

The also note that they have the original negative for Fun House aka The Last House on Dead End Street, which has been released on a couple of DVDs, sourced from 35mm prints. Both DVDs are now out of print and pricey.

Very interesting.

Why don't they get Lewis himself involved? He's still making schlock.
