What is Cult World all about? The Cult World web site is a site that is dedicated to Cult TV programs or movies.

Your next question is what makes TV Program or film CULT, below is a brief description of the word Cult in relationship to TV and Film. This description was taken off of the Wikipedia web site.

Cult film is a colloquial term for a film that has acquired a highly devoted but relatively small group of fans. Often, cult movies have failed to achieve fame outside of this small group (however, there are a few exceptions.) Some cult movies have gone on to transcend their original cult status and have become recognized as classics, others are of the "so bad it's good" variety, and are destined to remain in obscurity. Cult films often become the source of a thriving, obsessive, and elaborate subculture of fandom, hence the analogy to cults. However, not every film with a rabid fan base is necessarily a cult film. The term cult film implies a certain level of obscurity, and widely popular, mainstream movies are not considered to be cult films.

The most important thing to remember is that classing a film or TV show as being Cult is a personal opinion, so there is no right or wrong.

I usually use the following rules when working out if something is a cult or not:

• Content – Is the content of the show something completely different to what is already out there.
• Fan base – Has the show attracted a big enough fan base for the producers to produce spin off merchandise. Magazines, books, Tee Shirts, Toys.
• Love/Hate relationship – Does the show have a love hate relationship with the viewers. Usually people's opinion of the show is they either love it or hate.
• Quotes – Do people go around reciting lines from the show?

There are so many films and TV shows that I would class as having a cult status. I have dedicated individual pages to the following areas: TV, Film, Comic Book Movies. On these pages I will list some of the Films/Shows that I consider as being of Cult Status and will try to give the reason behind my decision.
