Episode Details

In the final part of this year’s A CineClub Halloween, the team of Billy, Jake, Matthew and Rhys delve into the world of horror B-Movies, spanning three separate generations.

Beginning with the classic era of Roger Corman and Ed Wood with films like Plan 9 From Outer Space (1957) and Bucket of Blood (1959), the team pick apart the tropes and traits of these films, as well as their influences on the future B-Movies to come.

The group then moves on to what seems to be their favourite period of B-Movies: those spanning from the 1970’s to the 1990’s. The range of films is immense, going from horror franchise affairs like Evil Dead 2 (1987) and Return of the Living Dead (1985) to more niche cult classics like Maniac Cop (1988) and C.H.U.D (1984).

Finally, the team wraps up with a look at the ‘modern’ horror B-Movie model, paying particular attention to Sharknado (2013), as well as discussing the new phenomenon of parody Horror B-Movies like Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023) and Gingerdead Man vs Evil Bong (2013).

Our presenters this week include Billy, Jake, Rhys and Matthew. This episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main. Happy Halloween!
