Roger Corman is known as the "king" of B-movies.
"He is responsible for creating an entire industry of low-budget movies and giving unknown actors and directors their first shot at Hollywood stardom," Swartzendruber said.

Each of the films featured at Friday Monster Madness will be either directed, produced or influenced by Roger Corman.

"Friday Monster Madness has been building a growing audience since February, particularly with the classics," Swartzendruber said. "While the locally produced films draw cast and crew, the classics are bringing brand new patrons to the series. We're focusing on Corman because of the audience requests."

The June 20 performance of "Fast and the Furious" has been replaced with "The Mind is a Liar and a Whore," a dark comedy. Filmmaker Antero Alli will be in attendance.

Films will run every Friday night in June starting at 9 p.m. Tickets are $3.
