They're Coming to get you Barbara!


"The joke goes; as soon as the video camera was invented exploitation started, like, 5 seconds later"

Hello and welcome to my blog, which has been brought into being with the sole purpose of shinning a light on some of the darker corners of Hollywood's basement and hopefully highlighting some lost classics from horror, exploitation
and science fiction cinema.

Hope you enjoy!

Poster Of The Week!

Happy Birthday to Roger Corman who turns 85 today, and what better way to kick-off my new 'Poster Of The Week' section than with an absolute classic from "The King Of Bs".

The Big Bird Cage (1972) belongs to the "women in prisons" sub-genre and is a follow-up to 1971's The Big Doll House.

Anitra Ford and Pam Grier star as the babes battling for freedom and against Vic Diaz's marvellously over the top (if slightly homophobic) prison warden Rocco.

Fun for all the family, as long as the family consists entirely of straight males, aged 15 and over.
