JOHN STANLEY is the legendary author of numerous articles, novels and books on the subject of fantasy cinema, and perhaps most famously hosted the popular Creature Features program in the Bay Area circa the early ‘80s. He is additionally a filmmaker in his own right, as well as a good a friend and an all-around [...]

EDDIE MULLER, author, bon vivant, cultural archeologist and founder of both the Noir City Festival and the Film Noir Foundation, is indeed the Czar of Noir. You couldn’t find a nicer guy for such a dirty job, either. His many books on the topic include such definitive tomes as Dark City: the Lost World of [...]

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 [...]

There are Legends, there are Icons, there are Super-women - and then there is TURA SATANA, the immortal star of Russ Meyer’s masterpiece Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill! (1965) as well as many other cult classics, who boldly embodies all three attributes with stunning style, sensuality, wit and strength of character. I am privileged to know [...]

His bold style and unique vision are thematically diverse, visually distinctive, graphically imaginative, pointedly satirical, socially relevant and unfailingly entertaining.  In anticipation of Thrillville’s 12th Anniversary [...]

My dear, departed friend, cult movie god RAY DENNIS STECKLER was a frequent guest at my live Thrillville show. One of the highlights of my so-called career, and life, was chasing Ray (in his trademark screen alias “Cash Flagg” hood) around the theater, wearing one his original mummy costumes and carrying a plastic axe. Predictably, one [...]

The late Robert Clarke appeared in a number of cult sci-fi classics including The Man From Planet X (1951) and Beyond the Time Barrier (1960), but the one he’ll be best remembered for is 1959’s THE HIDEOUS SUN DEMON, which Clarke also co-wrote and co-directed. I vividly recall watching this as a little kid and being freaked [...]

This is my favorite B movie. I first saw it on Doc Shock’s Mad Theater out of Philly in the early 70s. Michael Landon gives his hairiest performance as the troubled high school student Tony Rivers. Whit Bissell is the shrink who hypnotizes him and turns him into a raging lycanthrope. Yvonne Lime , who [...]
