Cult

Some of these cult movies have gone on to transcend their original cult status and have become recognized as classics, others are of the - so bad it's good - variety, and we love them.

Sex Madness

Sex Madness
1938 - 57 mins

This is a typical sex exploitation film from cult director Dwain Esper, along the lines of his other classic - Reefer Madness, supposedly to deal with venereal diseases. Wild parties, lesbianism and sex out of wedlock and the dangers of the casting couch are some of the forms of "madness" portrayed. The "educational" aspect of the film allowed it to portray a taboo subject which was otherwise forbidden by the Motion Picture Production Code of 1930. »

Night of the Living Dead

Night of the Living Dead
1968 - 95 mins

Night of the Living Dead is, justifiably, one of the most famous independent cult horror films ever produced. Reviewers initially criticized the films graphic contents, but three decades later the Library of Congress placed Night of the Living Dead on the United States National Film Registry with other films deemed "historically, culturally or aesthetically important" and in 2001, the American Film Institute added the film to a list of one hundred important horror and thriller films. »

The Wasp Woman

The Wasp Woman
1960 - 73 mins

Yet another classic from the King of B-movie directors - Roger Corman. In making this film, Corman was clearly influenced by Kurt Neumann's 1958 film The Fly. The Wasp Woman has the head and hands of a wasp but the body of a woman -- ironically, exactly the opposite of the creature shown in the film's poster. »
