Walking Zombies, Vampire Women And A Film Orgy Invade Sacramento

Several years ago Mr. Lobo of the Sacramento (Ca)based late-night horror movie showcase "Cinema Insomnia" boasted to me that his hometown was the undisputed "B Movie Capitol Of The World." Considering the fact that Lobo's program hails from the city I figured that his opinion on the matter may be just a little bit biased.

On further review, however, there are many more things about Sacramento that help to back up the famous horror hosts claim. For example, California's capitol boasts the largest collection of "Star Trek" themed rock bands in the world. Other items to reinforce the title include the annual 'Zombie Walk', annual 'Trash Film Orgy' and the fact that numerous current and prior B movies have used the city as a location for filming.

Yes, Franklin, Indiana may host the "B Movie Celebration", but when it comes to films that are a little off center, Sacramento should be considered their kingdom, a town that embraces them.

Several B movie events are about to get underway in Sacramento this summer. First is the Trash Film Orgy's 10th annual midnight movie series that begins July 10th and runs through August 14th.

Here is the info on this years 'Orgy' from the TFO website:

Here is the synopsis for "Planet Of Vampire Women":

PLANET OF THE VAMPIRE WOMEN is an action-packed sci-fi adventure of the galaxy’s sexiest space pirates who pull off the ultimate heist only to crash into an unknown world. Finding themselves trapped on a storm-shrouded planet overrun with monsters, the intergalactic outlaws unknowingly awaken an unspeakable horror that causes the dead to walk...with an insatiable lust for blood!

After pulling off the heist of the century, notorious space pirate Trix Richards and her gang of interplanetary outlaws attempt a daring getaway in an antique warship. The mercenaries blaze through the galaxy with the law on their tail, seeking refuge on a long-forgotten sinister moon. But when the ship crashes into the storm-shrouded orb, they find themselves stranded in a nightmare world of unrelenting terror, with a scout missing and a fatally wounded leader. As the crew assesses the damage, Captain Richards rises from the dead with an insatiable lust for blood. She disappears into the fog, leaving behind a badly wounded helmsman and an unfathomable mystery. A scout party is quickly assembled to investigate the hostile environment, which is plagued by violent electrical storms and alive with danger. It is also a breeding ground for degenerate aliens and the pirates soon find themselves trapped in a desperate struggle to stay alive. Stumbling upon the ruins of an ancient civilization, they unwittingly awaken a dormant evil bent on destruction of the dark moon and its bloodthirsty inhabitants. The remaining humans must race against time to escape the doomed world and reach civilization before the space vampires can spread their infernal horror to an unsuspecting universe.
