Charles Band’s Full Moon Features is bringing a high-fashion bloodbath to the screen this summer with the release of Models vs. Werewolves. Directed by indie horror veteran Danny Draven (Bad CGI Gator), the creature feature has just debuted its first trailer, pitting five influencers against an ancient pack of shapeshifters.

The Day the Earth Stood Still isn’t just a sci-fi movie. It is a cultural monolith. A clean, surgical slab of Cold War anxiety wrapped in chrome and delivered straight into the nervous system of 1951 America. This is Robert Wise’s The Day the Earth Stood Still. The real version. Not whatever that fucking awful…

Listen up, you beautiful creeps and vinyl-spinning ghouls. Today we are digging into a 1971 hit that didn’t just change cinema; it kicked the door off the hinges, lit a cigar, and told the old guard to get the hell out of the way. We’re talking about Shaft. Directed by the legendary Gordon Parks, a…

It should come as no surprise, to regular readers of The Cult Archives, that I fucking LOVE Troma Entertainment. Lloyd Kaufman is a movie-making monster genius and I will die on that hill.

And by intimate, I mean ‘your childhood…

If Ed Wood was still alive, he would not only have been a huge fan of Vampire Zombies… from Space!, he would’ve probably found a way to at least produce it. Which is the highest praise I can think of. In fact, it’s so influenced by The Master of Schlock Cinema that they have a…

It’s 1987 and the slasher genre was already starting to smell a bit like a basement after a flood. We’ve seen enough silent masked guys in the woods to be on the verge of burnout. The ‘Summer of 1984’ was a distant memory, and New Line Cinema was facing a crisis of identity. A Nightmare…
