Black Friday

Starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. Dr Sovac implants a gangster's brain into a friend's body to 'save his life'. But 'Oh gosh', there are side effects - do you think?!

B-Movie Fan Club is a unique monthly film night programmed by our in-house B-Movie fanatic, Robin Elliot Knowles.

If you haven't come along to one of these nights before then make your new year's resolution to start! Once a month on a Sunday night join us for an enjoyable romp into low-budget "second features" usually horror/sci-fi from their heydayday in the 1950s and shorter than your average feature film.

The term connoted a general perception that B movies were inferior to the more lavishly budgeted headliners; individual B films were often ignored by critics but even from their beginnings to the present day, B movies have provided opportunities both for those coming up in the profession and others whose careers are waning. Celebrated filmmakers such as Anthony Mann and Jonathan Demme learned their craft in B movies.

B movies are where actors such as John Wayne and Jack Nicholson first became established, and they have provided work for former A movie actors and actresses, such as Vincent Price and Karen Black. Some actors and actresses, such as Bela Lugosi, Eddie Constantine, Bruce Campbell, and Pam Grier, worked in B movies for most of their careers.

So, 'join' the club, it's so much fun!
