What we've got here is one of the more obscure mixtapes that seems to have largely fallen through the cracks, typically being left off mixtape lists or discussions. The tape is two hours' worth of death/gore scenes from various horror flicks including clips from Psycho, subliminal shot from Mad Max, Phantasm, Survive, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Shining, Alien, The Godfather, Magic, An American Werewolf in London, Scanners, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Death Race, Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals, The Evil Dead, The Day After, and a bunch of others. Most of the clips are from late 70s/early 80s (the latest film in this that we recognized was a clip from The Day After, from 1983; the earliest was Psycho, from 1960). The mixtape seems to have been compiled sometime either in the 80s, given the seeming lack of any mid/late 80s content, though it could have of course been compiled later. There's a sequel, Splattermania 2, which promises two more hours of goretastic fun, if anyone has it please share it wherever you found this release (likewise, if anyone knows anything about this tape's provenance, do tell). The choice of clips is a pretty solid selection of 'greatest hits', as such, including classics like the Psycho shower scene, the Mad Max eye bulge scene, the Scanners head pop scene, and so on. The tape rounds off with a 20-minute gore cut of Evil Dead (Evil Dead with just all the gore scenes strung together). Which all makes this a solid old-school VHS horror mixtape that deserves more attention and recognition than it has got.
