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.

Trailer

It Must Be Seen To Be Believed…

Set during the fall (NOT winter), a small New England town is brutally ravaged by possessed totem poles.

Winterbeast began production in 1985. Producer Mark Frizzell thought it would take a weekend to finish. By 1989, he pulled the plug.

Originally, the filmmakers imagined the Winterbeast to be a stop-motion creature. This became a guy in a costume, of which some footage was shot. When the film fell apart, Frizzell did a little stop motion bits between gigs at his day job to fill in the missing monster footage. The film as we know it was released in 1992.

So the monster you see on the cover is not actually in the movie, instead you'll see some foolish claymation creatures.

Is this a B movie, or is it worse?

I won't pretend it isn't terrible, but I like it!

@MisterBigFart Watched this one today, phenomenal. I think my favorite part is when they show photos of murder victims, but you can see they're just headshots of some women. Probably actors who auditioned for the film.

Omg this movie is awful in the best way. Seriously worth it for the claymation alone.
