THE HORROR! THE HORROR!! (2025): Shock movie posters from the Fifties and Sixties.
Every now and again Elsewhere passes this way: we've had a piece about classic biker movie posters and another about hippie-era posters.

All good solid B-grade stuff.

But nothing says life at the drive-in like all those cheap monster, terror and horror films which were cranked out as if by machines, and often included people like the young Dennis Hopper.

One day we'll check out beach party films (most with Gidget) but right now let's look at what was frightening the pants of the kids in the backseat of the car at the drive-in.

These films and many more are available through www.thevideobeat.com

Hold on to your fears, the nightmares begin.
