Those Fabulous B Movie babes ! !
Barbara Steele
They screamed in terror, they fainted in fright, they were tortured by Marquis de Sade, eaten by giant locusts, sacrificed to flaming volcanoes, abducted by mad scientists, ripped by rippers, carved up by craven craggy cohorts and turned into vile venomous voluptuous vixens by vicious vampires !They were sexy, usually innocent
Innocent and Helpful. (on-screen) and thrilled us all with their antics. Those Queens Of Scream
Everything you are listening too are lines from various B-Movies I've strung together in a Flash Player. If you want any of them just send me a MSG and I'll give you the link for them all (and many others).
Defining a B-Movie is subjective and falls somewhere between "Movie Genre" (which applies to subject matter) and "Cinematic Style" (which can be applied to any Genre). Of course, the more that genres are defined, the more likely that a filmmaker will try to combine, transcend and evade categories, so not every film can be neatly labeled but I know'em when I see'em! That's Miss MARTINE BESWICK on the left in the skimpy white bikini and Miss JULIE EGE on the right photographed in 1973.

HAMMER STUDIOS produced some of the very best (or worst) of the B-Movies. In 1913 Enrique Carreras bought his first cinema in Hammersmith, London, gradually expanding his company into a chain. It became a family enterprise with his son James and then grandson Michael taking over the helm. Over the years they turned Hammer Studios into one of the best B-Movie production studios and still exist today. The "Hammer Girls are legendary and include many ladies that graduated to the "A" list of Hollywood Stars.

Yvonne Craig was one of my very favorites as she danced the sexy dance for Capt. Kirk on the Enterprise. All were terrific screamers! Here just below is Miss Martine Bestwick getting tenderized by a bevy of lecherous frogmen!

Good old Ed Wood the whackiest producer of B-Movie films although there were many others such as Victor Adamson, Dwain Esper or Robert Horner. Here just below are three fabulous full length movies that will show the viewer some real B-Movie efforts. First on the left here is the 1938 "Sex Madness" production by Dwain Esper. In the middle is "Phantom Cowboy" made in 1935 by Robert Horner. Finally on the right is "That Gang of Mine by Victor Adamson in 1940.
Just click on any of the Pix to start the movie. These low budget efforts have a small but devoted following (like myself) who like to point out such things as the stagecoach riding along beside obviously modern telephone poles in "Phantom of the Cowboy". An obvious low budget knock-off of "Our Gang" in "That Gang of Mine". Look for yourself but be careful, you might have to join that small but devoted following!

The "Haunted World of Ed Wood" just above is an excellent production and I hope you watch the whole movie (...if like me, you are interested in such things...). Many folks see Ed Wood as the Quentin Tarantino of B-Movies!
