For Memorial Day Weekend, Hero Complex Gallery paid tribute to two of the pioneers of horror and cult cinema, Roger Corman and Joe Dante. It started with a double-feature event at the New Beverly Cinema on Friday evening and continued with The Kings of Cult pop-art tribute show on Saturday night that also featured original props from their classic films on display.
Daily Dead made it out for Saturday’s night festivities at the jam-packed Hero Complex Gallery show and brought back an extensive photo gallery featuring many of the posters and art installations celebrating Dante and Corman and their many films which have made them genre legends throughout the years.
