We featured the horror/comedy "Mole Man of Belmont Avenue" starring Robert Englund and XZanthia, and two short films by Angelina Phoenix - "Oneirataxia" and "Cult Classic". Thanks to all who attended - it was an awesome celebration of cult horror movies! Hosted by Adam-Bomb and Roman of the Cinemadness Podcast.
