Monogram Releasing publicist/B Movie Nation co-administrator Will “the Thrill’ Viharo is taking his “Thrillville” cult movie cabaret on the road this Fall with the West Coast premieres of two Monogram releases, the all new Mexican monster mash Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy doubled-billed with Jay Ward Edwards’ all new beach party [...]

ARCH HALL JR. is that rare combination - a living legend and a nice guy. This cool cat is still swingin’ forty odd (yes, very odd) years since his debut in The Choppers (1961) written by his legendary father, Arch Hall Sr., and cementing his own legacy as a drive-in deity with the timeless gems [...]

BILL DEVER is the B Movie Mogul of the 21st Century. His various enterprises include this very web site, the annual B Movie Celebration, Monogram Releasing and various other ventures promoting, perpetuating and preserving B Movie Culture. He is a Man with a Mission.
Will the Thrill: What is the inspiration, and the ultimate goal, for [...]

CYXORK 7 , the hilarious and inventive movie about making a movie in a fading sci-fi franchise, coming May 15 from Monogram Releasing, is one of the Best Movies of 2008 you’ve never heard of, according to Popmatters and according to me, too. Prolific and amiable writer/director JOHN HUFF gave us the lowdown on this [...]

CHIP GUBERA is an educator, filmmaker, zombie song-writer and masked wrestler enabler, not necessarily in that order. In anticipation of the May 8 2009 regional theatrical release of his astounding zombie musical Song of the Dead, we caught up with this multi-talented maven of movie mayhem:
Will the Thrill: The first zombie musical was the late [...]

“These are not my pajamas”

As impressive as Mickey Rourke was in The Wrestler, the true macho mangler comeback story of late is Mil Mascaras. The 60something Mexican icon gained international fame for his innovative wrestling techniques and flamboyant costumes in the ring, as well as for his colorful action film roles, including classics like Las [...]

JEFFREY UHLMANN is not an idiot, to put it plainly. He has a PhD in robot engineering from Oxford (the one over there, yes) and a M.S. in computer science and to top it off, a B.A. from the University of Missouri. So why did I contact him for an interview on a site about [...]

 
GRAB YOUR SURF BOARDS AND SKUNK APE REPELLENT STOMP SHOUT SCREAM OPENS APRIL 10th
 
Lloyd Kaufman has a nose for gory social satire…or he used to…it’s around here somewhere…
If you stayed up late in a cheap motel room built on an Indian burial ground, eating an entire bucket of fried chicken just before you fell [...]

JAY WADE EDWARDS provides triple threat duty as producer/director/writer of the new ’60s-style beach party/monster musical STOMP! SHOUT! SCREAM!, playing in select theaters starting April 10 from Monogram Releasing. This fun, freaky flick is a perfect recreation/re-realization (but not “re-imagining”) of an AIP bikini-boppin’ beast-on-the-beach drive-in rock ‘n’ roll classic (read Will the Thrill’s review.) [...]

Film Noir is a uniquely American product, but its influences over the decades have stretched far beyond Yankee borders - in fact, you can feel its resonance across the Atlantic, where the French coined the term and designated the genre in the early ’50s. Neighboring Britain is no stranger to the Dark World of gangsters, [...]

“Throw another leg on the barby,mate!”
Everyone was horrified by the recent wildfires that swept Australia. But few have heard of, or reckoned with, the other horrors afflicting the Outback these days, specifically the supernatural monster outbreak so grimly and brilliantly depicted in THE DEMONS AMONG US, maiden mutant madness from the delightfully demented mind of [...]

With Uncle Lloyd, B Movie Celebration, September ‘08
LLOYD KAUFMAN is to cult movies what Alpo is to dog food. He’s a recognized, celebrated brand name boasting a tried-and-true tradition you don’t mess with, reliable and undeniable. His underground film dynasty Troma Entertainment revolutionized the indie market in the ’80s and ’90s with tantalizing titles like [...]

The ’60s “beach party” craze briefly blended with monster movie mores in vintage classics like Horror of Party Beach (1963), The Beach Girls and the Monster (1965), and The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966). Now there’s a 21st Century beach monster movie that looks, sounds and feels a lot like its predecessors from the [...]

KEVIN TENNEY made his name as a famous, favorite cult horror director with his ’80s classics WITCHBOARD (1986) and NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988). His other entertaining credits include THE CELLAR (1989), PEACEMAKER (1990), and ENDANGERED SPECIES (2002). Besides being a B Movie legend, Mr. Tenney, raised in an itinerant military family, also has “tiki [...]

If David Lynch teamed with George Romero to make a zombie movie - in Australia - it might look something like Stuart Simpson’s hallucinatory horror classic THE DEMONS AMONG US. Something supernatural and sinister is turning the family next door into ravenous, demonic, flesh-eating ghouls, and apparently, there is no escape from the sudden slaughter…a [...]

Part film noir, part psychological thriller, all action: this is the high octane story of a poor bloke who wakes up next to a bloody body and can’t remember how he got there…follow Jack’s quest for the truth through a murky, malicious maze of death, danger and discovery…femme fatales and flashbacks….seduction of the guilty, prosecution [...]

Coming soon to DVD and maybe to a theater near you or someone you don’t know…
Keven Tenney’s new cult classic BRAIN DEAD
A meteorite through the head, zombie brain-munching, eye-popping breast-baring, lesbian skinny dipping, escaped convicts, and a horny pastor…and that’s just in the first 15 minutes! This monster movie masterpiece is as ribald as Russ [...]
