Curse of the Demon (1957)
“Curse of the Demon” (aka “Night of the Demon”) is one of those weird little lost films that everyone agrees is wonderful and yet very few people seem to have actually seen. This is one of those rare British movies…
The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb (1964)
On an Egyptian expedition, a group of British explorers stumble across the hidden tomb of the pharaoh Ra (yes, I know, quite original). But once they bring him back to England for exhibition, they find the tomb to be empty….
Donovan’s Brain (1953)
Made in an age when the science fiction film genre was dominated by giant insects and monsters from beneath the sea (not that there’s anything wrong with those) “Donovan’s Brain” stands out as a more understated (and under-appreciated) gem. A…
Die, Monster, Die! (1965)
The American Stephen Reinhart (Nick Adams) arrives by train in Arkham, a small town in the countryside of England. He tries to travel to the real estate of a man called Witley by taxi or bicycle, but the locals are…

The Day Mars Invaded Earth (1963)
The presence of Kent Taylor, Marie Windsor, and William Mims as the main three actors in this film is a sure invitation to sci-fi B-movie fans everywhere. The film–a sort-of remake of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”–is no classic but…
The Diary of a High School Bride (1959)
Although the makers of “The Diary of a High School Bride” make the film seem like an exploitation film about young brides when it begins, the film is far less than you might expect. Plus, back in 1959, folks getting…
The Cosmic Monster (1958)
Interesting little British sci-fi movie about man’s attempt to create a powerful electro-magnetic energy generator that tares a hole in the fragile Iononasphere. This creates a massive bombardment of the Earth by deadly and radioactive Cosmic Rays that cause havoc…
The Crater Lake Monster (1977)
A claymation plesiosaur rises from the depths of Crater Lake to wreak havoc on a group of local rednecks, not to mention your fast forward button. To call “The Crater Lake Monster” amateurish is to overstate the obvious. If you…
The Gloriousness of Bud Spencer
Italian actor and filmmaker Bud Spencer, a cult favourite for his comedic spaghetti Western parodies, died on Monday at age 86. “My father died peacefully at 18:15 and did not suffer from pain, he had all of us next to…
Cult of the Cobra (1955)

The vaguely titled CAPTIVE WOMEN is set in a post nuclear holocaust world where three warring tribes, “The Norms”, “The Mutates”, and “The Upriver People” battle each other for supremacy in and around the ruins of New York City and…
Bronson (2008)
Bronson is one of the more interesting films I’ve had the pleasure of sitting through as of late. In the trailer (and movie poster), a quote can be seen where a reviewer called the film, “A Clockwork Orange for the…
Nightbreed (1990)
If you’re looking for an original horror flick, this might be the one for you. It’s strange and at times lingers on stupidity, but it’s just such a good looking, nice sounding and original movie, it never fails, except maybe…
The Onion: The Many Layer’s Of Lloyd Kaufman
“Troma’s War is a very underrated movie, and it got totally fucked by the MPAA. Richard Heffner, who just made a noise like a frog and was president of the MPAA, told Michael Herz over the phone that our movie…
The Hard Ride (1971)
If you’re looking for something a little different from the typical late ’60s/early ’70s AIP biker flick, then ignore any negatory comments about this film and track yourself down a copy. (As of April 2006 Sony/MGM has yet to release…
Zombeavers (2014)
Zombie flick spoof about a group of college kids, staying at a cabin on the river, who are attacked by killer zombie beavers. The film was directed and co-written (with Al Kaplan and Jon Kaplan) by comedy writer and actor,…
King Kong (1933)
How many films can truly be said to be definitive? The answer is probably “not many”, but the original 1933 version of King Kong is certainly one of them. For its time, every aspect is innovative. First-of-their-kind special effects, first-of-its-kind…
Monkey Shines (1988)
George Romero does an excellent job of swapping Zombies for Monkeys. This film may sound ridiculous in the most preposterous way. But then again, we now live in a world of Snakes on a Plane and Burning Bright, so this…

The 2016 Indy PopCon exploded with attendance which meant more guests, entertainment, exhibitors, and of course Cosplay. In attendance and participating on panels, there were actors and actresses, producers, and directors representing the B Movie genre. Over the three days…
