This is John Waters’s second full-length feature film. It has much more of a story than his first film Mondo Trasho, but so do most TV commercials. Even John Waters himself admits that Mondo Trasho should have been one of his short films instead of a full-length movie.        Multiple Maniacs is the…

  This was John Waters’s sixth full-length feature film and by the time Polyester came out, John Waters was doing considerably fewer drugs and his movies began to move in a more mainstream direction. Waters managed to sign a minor star like Tab Hunter to the cast and Debbie Harry (Blondie) to do the soundtrack. This…

   Desperate Living was John Waters’s fifth movie and by his own admission was the first movie he made after quitting drugs (smoking pot to be precise). You really wouldn’t know it though, because it’s just as weird, wonderful, and hilarious as his other films and completely decimates the assumed theory that drugs were the…

  This movie made such a huge impact on me. I just couldn’t get it out of my head for the longest time, because it is just so haunting and so completely unnerving, but in such a subtle way. The story it tells gets into your head and makes you question everything you may have believed…

    Some people find it difficult to integrate music into a category like cult classics because the word “classic” tends to strike people as meaning “old”. This is sooooo not true here at Cultarama.

   This was Ed Woods’ first real attempt at movie-making and as many movies as he ultimately made, you’d think he would have learned something about it along the way. Umm, no. Ed’s last movie was just as bad as his first. For those who don’t know… good ‘ol Ed was a transvestite with a…

    Blood Feast is hailed as the first gore movie ever made. And is the first of the “Blood Trilogy” by H.G. Lewis. even though he came out with several more gore films, including The Gore Gore Girls, The Wizard of Gore, and Gruesome Twosome.      This is supposed to be a horror film…

   Valley of the Dolls was initially expected to be a top box office smash. It had some decently big names like Susan Hayward and Patti Duke, as well as newcomers Sharon Tate and Barbara Parkins. Built from Jacqueline Susann’s fantastic novel, it centers around three young girls, who among the bright lights of fame,…

    This is the second installment of H.G. Lewis’ “Blood Trilogy”. It attempts to out gore its predecessor “Blood Feast” but the story is so damned boring that you hardly notice all the extra blood.        A small town is celebrating the 100th year anniversary of the Civil War. To celebrate, the townsfolk…

     Duane Bradley is a meek and somewhat odd individual who carries a basket around with him wherever he goes. What’s in the basket? Well, it grunts and groans eats hamburgers and hot dogs, and has a sort of telepathy with Duane.        Duane and his basket have rented a room at…
