FAQ –
What is ‘The Cult Edition’?
The Cult Edition is inspired by the phenomenon of the ‘cult classic’. That is, a film that has acquired a cult following. Some examples of cult classics are The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), Pink Flamingoes (1972), 28 Days Later (2002), Mad Max (1979), An American Werewolf in London (1981) Twilight (2008), Mean Girls (2004) – and many, many more!
It is obscure and mostly unpopular with mainstream audiences, often revolutionary or ironically enjoyed. The Cult Edition is camp; it’s elaborate subculture; it’s subversion; it’s the unwavering defiance of the mainstream.
Catalyst welcomes you to the B-side expression of the human condition.
