THIS WEEK @ CULT LABS: 17 MAY 2013

80s Horror!

We all love 80′s horror movies. Gory, gruesome, camp, cheesy and often with lots of big hair! Earlier this week, YouTuber Trent Shy created an incredible claymation homage to some of the best 80′s monster movies! From The Fly to Frank Henenlotter. Go and check it out here. If you have something cool to share, then drop me a private message over on the forum and you may get it included in a future newsletter!

Anywho, on with this week’s newsletter…

This week saw the DVD release of the last ever volume of Prisoner: Cell Block H. The classic cult TV show from the 1980s comes to an almighty ending with one of the most gripping finale shows to have graced the small screen. Be sure to grab your box set this week, as in a couple of months time, the show’s brand new ‘prequel’ re-imagining, Wentworth will be heading our way to UK TV. Very, Very exciting times!
