Charles Girard (Lederer) and his wife, Frances (Thyssen). Poor William Fitzgerald (Derr) finds himself on the island of Dr. Moreau (or more likely its first film adaptation, Island of Lost Souls). Almost everyone familiar with Terror Is a Man has noted its extreme similarity to H.G. Their horror careers got off to a roaring start with the Hemisphere Pictures production Terror Is a Man, later a hit under the title Blood Creature, and either together or separately they continued the string of creature features with films like The Twilight People and the outrageous "Blood Island" trilogy for which they are still best remembered. The Philippines isn't exactly known to modern viewers for its booming horror film industry, but for a period through the 1960s and '70s), producer-director Eddie Romero and director Gerardo "Gerry" de Leon put the country on the exploitation map by shooting exotic low budget gore epics and releasing them under campy titles guaranteed to have parents dragging their kids to church services for penance.

Every May, the Robinson Rancheria Pomo Indians in Clear Lake County hold a sunrise ceremony and other events to remember those killed at Bloody Island.Directed by Gerardo de Leon and Eddie Romero “Bloody Island” also known as the “Clear Lake Massacre,” was one of many government-sanctioned slaughters of Native Americans under California’s official policy to exterminate Native Americans. In the words of Captain Nathaniel Lyon, who led the attack, “the island became a perfect slaughtering pen,” as the Indians had no way of escaping soldiers and an onslaught of heavy artillery. Many Pomo fled the ranch to an island, known as Bo-no-po-ti in the Pomo language, where Indians gathered every April for fish spawning season. Bent on revenge, Kelsey’s brother rounded up a posse and began indiscriminately killing Indians. After the murder, Pomo tribe members killed Stone and Kelsey. What is not disputed is that after the lashing, one of the white settlers shot the youth in the head. Another said that the young Pomo man had insulted Kelsey’s wife.
One report said he had been sent by his aunt to beg for more wheat. There are different versions of what led to the punishment. One day, Stone gave 100 lashes to a young Pomo man. Those who resisted were whipped and lashed. The two men sexually abused Pomo women and children, including the wife of the local Pomo Chief Augustine. They were known for their brutal mistreatment of their workers, doling out starvation rations of four cups of wheat each day and refusing to allow the Pomo to fish on the land to feed themselves. The seeds of this bloody conflict can be traced back to 1847 when two white settlers, Charles Stone and Andrew Kelsey, bought a cattle ranch where they kept several hundred local Pomo men as slave laborers. One of the few survivors was a 6-year-old girl named Ni’ka, later known as Lucy Moore, who hid in the bloodied waters and survived by breathing air through a reed. Many women and children were stabbed with bayonets. Cavalry, working in concert with white vigilantes, slaughtered the Indian men, women and children who had taken refuge on an island north of Clear Lake in Clear Lake County.Īs many as 200 Pomo were killed on the island and in the surrounding area. In retaliation, government troops from the U.S. After being enslaved and starved by two white cattle ranchers for more than two years, members of a Pomo Indian tribe rose up and killed their vicious captors.
