Cult Movies TV - [DVD]

In 1990, the founders of Cult Movies</i> magazine, Michael Copner and Buddy Barnett, produced a one-shot magazine called Bela Lugosi Then And Now</i>. That magazine was a big success and morphed into Cult Movies</i> magazine, which ran for a total of 41 issues. Cult Movies</i> magazine covered many topics, including classic horror, Karloff and Lugosi, Harry Langdon, Korla Pandit, Ed Wood, Godzilla films and many other modern, classic and obscure movie-related subjects. The word "Cult," when used in this context, refers to the enthusiasm and devotion some have to the film genres of Horror, Sci-Fi, B-movies, art-films, comedies and silents.<p>In 1999, Cult Movies TV</i> was inspired in part by two earlier video documentaries that Copner and Barnett produced, Bela Lugosi Then And Now</i> and On The Trail Of Ed Wood.</i><p>The popularity of the magazine peaked in the late 90's and culminated with this companion TV series and the well-attended Cult Movies Convention at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in October, 2000. The television episodes produced at Pasadena Community Access Corporation in Southern California by Kathe Duba-Barnett and Kevin C. Brechner were repeated frequently for several years, in Pasadena as well as other cable stations throughout the United States.<p>Starring Forrest J Ackerman ("Famous Monsters of Filmland"), Brad Linaweaver (Award winning author), Verne Langdon (Make-up wizard, Don Post Studios), Jack Hill (Spider Baby</i>, Sheba Baby</i>, Coffy</i>), James Keane (actor, Apocalypse Now</i>), John La Zar (actor, Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls</i>), Ron Ford & Randal Malone (director & star of Hollywood Mortuary</i>), Titus Moody (Rat Pfink and Boo Boo</i>), Yvette Vickers (Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman</i>.)
