If you have a deep rooted love for b-movies and will be in or near Franklin, Indiana this September, there’s a film festival taking place that is just for you. With everything from b-movie classics to world premieres and several top names from the world of B-filmdom in attendance, think of the B Movie Celebration as the Cannes Film Festival for aficionados of fine schlock.

The annual center of all b-Movie fandom celebration is back again September 23rd-25th in Franklin, Indiana. This year, besides a HUGE list of classic films being screened, there are also a few world premieres and screenings of some very eagerly anticipated films. There’s the world premieres of Fred Olen Ray’s “Dino Wolf” [aka “Dire-Wolf”], David A. Prior’s “Night Claws”, Jim Wynorski’s “Camel Spiders”, and screenings of other hotly anticipated titles such as “The Millennium Bug”, “El Monstro Del Mar”, “Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale”, “The Robot” [Endhiran], “Tales of an Ancient Empire”, Asylum’s “Dragon Crusaders”, the late great Paul Naschy’s “Empusa”, Henry Barrial’s “Pig”, Vincent Lannoo’s “Vampires”, “Beverly Lane” and many, many, more! [NOTE: More films will be added].
