A B movie is a low-budget film with, at the very least, commercial intentions that can definitively not be classified as arthouse. In its original usage, during Hollywood's Golden Age, the term more precisely identified a film intended for distribution as the less-publicized, bottom half of a double feature. Although the north american production of movies intended as second features petered out by the end of the '50s, the term itself continued to be used in the broader sense it maintains today. There is ambiguity on both sides of the definition: on the one hand, many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity; on the other, the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is targeting the libido (remedial translation: TITs!) & Blood Lust of adolescent males, In some cases, both may be true. Now for the slow ones who missed the reference at the top of the design notes, the poster design is an homage to B grade double feature film plybills from the 60's. the phrase "The newest in terror-tainment!" and "Shockorama" have their origin for me at least in the wacked out 1966 coupling of Billy the Kid vs Dracula and Jesse James meets Frankenstein's daughter.
