Eraserhead is definitely one of the best-known cult films in cinematic history. This was the first full-length feature film by the king of “hard to figure out” movies, David Lynch. This movie has way more symbolism than most people can handle and the true plot has been widely discussed for years due to…

    This film by Herschell Gordon Lewis (of the famed Blood Trilogy movies) is by far one of his weirdest films. And that’s really something considering the kind of movies he made. You see, H.G. Lewis mostly made disgusting gore movies, the first of their kind actually. Nobody seemed to notice the extremely bad acting,…

     This twisted tale of sluts and bolts begins when Jeffery Franken’s girlfriend Elizabeth gets accidentally shredded by a runaway lawnmower. Left with only a few pieces of his dismembered fiance’, Jeffery tries to figure out how to put her back together again. Since there is so very little left of his beloved, he…

 Plan 9 from Outer Space is ironically considered to be Ed Wood’s most well-known movie and greatest cinematic achievement, while at the same time, it has outright won the award for the worst movie ever made and Ed Wood was then declared the worst director of all time. Which made his films more famous now…

  This is a very strange little art film that was made but never theatrically released. It floated from one dusty shelf to another for about thirty years until it was finally dusted off and released on low-budget DVD. Apparently, during those thirty years, only a handful of people got to see it, but that was…

  This particular art film has an incredible idea that is executed brilliantly. It’s in Japanese (hopefully with subtitles) and is very cleverly filmed and edited. This movie jumps around in time and the plot isn’t exactly shown in order. There’s a lot of fast-forward video and stop-motion animation using what looks like several different types…

     This is a creepy little flick about a disturbed little guy named Ezra Cobb. This was the first and most accurate telling of the Ed Gein story. A story that would go on to inspire many other popular movies like Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.       …

 Dark Shadows was probably one of the greatest T.V. shows of all time. Definitely worth a mention here on Cultarama because it totally captures the cult fiend’s eye, due to it being horror-themed yet completely full of unintentional humor.        Dark Shadows was actually a daytime soap opera that began in 1966 with…

This was John Waters’s fourth full-length feature film and by far my personal favorite. We follow Dawn Davenport as she goes from a pick-pocketing high school dropout to a mutant fashion model. It starts at The Lipstick Beauty Salon owned by Donald and Donna Dasher, two extreme stereotypes of the ultimately snobby and super wealthy.…

 This was John Waters’s first full-length feature film. Before this, he had only made some short films that cult fiends are still dying to be released. So far the only one that can be found on YouTube is The Diane Linkletter Story.  This is the earliest John Waters film out there, and I had a…
