found: Wikipedia, Nov. 9, 2012:Splatter film (A splatter film or gore film is a subgenre of horror film that deliberately focuses on graphic portrayals of gore and graphic violence. These films, through the use of special effects, tend to display an overt interest in the vulnerability of the human body and the theatricality of its mutilation. The combination of graphic violence and sexually suggestive imagery in some films has been labeled "torture porn" or "gorno" (a portmanteau of "gore" and "porno").

found: Monsters-movies.com, Nov. 9, 2012:Splatter movies (A splatter film or gore film is a type of horror film that deliberately focuses on graphic portrayals of gore and graphic violence. These films, through the use of special effects and excessive blood and guts, tend to display an overt interest in the vulnerability of the human body. Due to their willingness to portray images society might consider shocking, splatter films share ideological grounds with the transgressive art movement. Sometimes the gore is so excessive it becomes a comedic device. These types of comedic gore films have been dubbed splatstick (a portmanteau of "splatter" and "slapstick"). As a distinct genre, the splatter film began in the 1960s with the films of Herschell Gordon Lewis, who became notorious for such work as Blood Feast (1963). Lewis has been called the "Godfather of Gore." Blood Feast is widely considered as the first splatter film. While many splatter films fall into the exploitation film subgenre, some make their way into the mainstream. One of the most successful splatter films, critically and commercially, was George A. Romero's 1978 zombie film Dawn of the Dead. The term "splatter film" is often confused with "slasher film." While there is often overlap, many slasher movies, like Halloween (1978), are not considered splatter films because they don't have enough on-screen gore.)

The name is derived from the blood splatter shown on screen and presumably the vomit splatter from the audience. Director Herschell Gordon Lewis created the style when his Blood Feast (1963) and Two Thousand Maniacs (1964) introduced new levels of gore into the film industry. Later in the '70s and '80s, Italian cannibal films like Cannibal Apocalypse, Cannibal Ferox and Cannibal Holocaust and zombie films like City of the Living Dead, Zombie and Burial Ground continued the splatter tradition.)
