This is an annual event giving B Movies the exposure they so rightly deserve. The Hollywood Boulevard Cinema in Woodridge Illinois will be hosting the Seventh Annual B Movie Celebration October 25th-27th. For the past seven years, fans of the often maligned genre of B-movies have gathered just to watch classic and emerging B-films, but not just to passively view the films, as the name implies, celebrate them! This year — the Seventh— looks like being the biggest yet. Why? The organizers have been rampaging through the independent film underworld, ferreting out a host of new releases and soon-to-be-classics to be introduced into the Celebration’s film program. Many of the films presented will be either North American or World premiere.

The Celebration will feature screenings of over 68 B movies, including 26 feature films as well as 42 cutting edge shorts. We will also have personal appearances from such B Greats as B Director Jim Wynorski, Fred Olen Ray and Kevin Tenney . New digitally remastered versions of Wynorski’s “The Lost Empire” and “Chopping Mall will be launched, Fred Olen Ray will have the World’ Premiere of his film “After Midnight” and Kevin Tenney will be present during a screening of his opus “Witchboard”.

For those that are about to Schlock we salute you!
