B-movie horror
Cheap creature features
B-movie horror refers to low-budget horror films characterized by cheap special effects, campy acting, and formulaic plots—often featuring monsters, slashers, or supernatural threats.
The term comes from the old Hollywood practice of pairing a prestige "A" picture with a cheaper "B" picture.
What was once dismissive has become affectionate; fans celebrate the genre's schlocky charm: We stayed up watching B-movie horror all night.
The aesthetic influences everything from intentionally trashy modern films to Halloween decorations.
