James Rolfe: Welcome to Cinemassacre's "Monster Madness"! This October we've been covering the history of horror films, one day at a time. We started with the black & white chillers, the monster movies and suspense thrillers. But during the 1970's there were a lot of low-budget exploitation movies being made. An exploitation movie is defined as a movie that doesn't aim for quality, but rather using main selling points such as sex and violence. Movies like these were usually shown late at night and as double features in what they called 'grindhouse theaters'.
