A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

William Castle's goofy b-movie classic starring the late, great Vincent Price. (The OG) House on Haunted Hill is just good fun.

Top image: of course she's screaming, hot wax is running down her hand! Who holds a lit candle like that, except in a Hollywood publicity still?

if nothing else, watch for this iconic scene

Yes, this and the house in the movie (and a lot of other movies as well ... lul, maybe even Venture Bros).

Would you like a sedative?

Me and my friends watch this about once a year as tradition.

Bring your doctor! Consult your seat belts! No one did it better than Vincent Price.

Yes! This movie has been remade a couple of times but Vincent Price is absolutely the best. This film is a horror classic!

Have you listened to The Saint? Classic radio, Vincent Price plays a suave retired thief. So much fun, no spooky, just very light amounts of banter and minor crime fighting in between. That's how I get my fix. John Hagadorn has them on his podcast of old time detective radio, in exchange for donations.

Was not even aware of their existence but now I’m intrigued! Old time detective radio! Wow, thank you!

Goes to look John Hagadorn up.

"1001 Radio Crime Solvers" is the title, but there are at least 6 similar pods that are worth following.
