A return to Villa Diodati next year? Avalon larp studio's larp about nightmares and poetry ... Gothic

The leading man seems to have vanished. The alien spaceship's still wet with paint. The overstock of film has gone missing. The director wants Scene 27. The writers have only finished Scene 26. Lunch was supposed to be twenty minutes ago... and somebody's locked the monster in the broom cupboard.

We are delighted to be able to share this player-generated clip showing various slates from "Invasion of the Atomic Space Witches" which were filmed at run 1 of the larp, B Movie.

Experimenting with posting some video, but just for fun here is a scene from B Movie in which it turns out that the Library at Blackwood Ridge holds a pretty significant secret that young librarian, Annabelle, is about to discover. Find out more by playing run 2 - sign up at www.bmovie.org

💡 HOLLYWOOD'S GREATEST SPECIAL EFFECT? MAKING THE AUDIENCE BELIEVE... Every B-picture has two kinds of magicians.

WHO TAUGHT THE STARS TO CRY ON CUE? Not every studio's got one, but those that do make the most of them... the whisperer. The soul surgeon. Part mentor, part Cult Leader — The Acting Coach.

🩺 HOLLYWOOD PRESCRIBES… DR MIRACLE. Every picture has one. The physician on the payroll. The smiling soul with the black bag. Officially they're there for sprained ankles, mosquito bites, and stars who faint because lunch was "a cigarette and optimism." Unofficially? Different story.

Monday’s Casting Call The two greatest truths I want you to start your week with are that every Hollywood studio has stars, and every Hollywood studio has scandals. The secret is that the successful ones have people who ensure the second never catches the first. Our studio has a team of three …

🖋️ TODAY'S JOB... THE WRITERS. Every picture begins with a script. This one begins with four of them... all arguing. Perhaps one writer wants romance. Another wants monsters. A third swears that the science has to make sense, maybe the other is a secret Red who wants to change the world?

🎥 Today's Casting Call ... THE ACTORS. Hollywood's prettiest liars... and its most convincing truth-tellers. Some are yesterday's sweethearts. Some should have been stars. Some are one scandal away from oblivion... or one picture away from redemption.

Chronos, Space Ruler of Time, is not usually a friend of Earthlings, but sometimes the stars align and their unfathomable power works for the people of this island, Earth, rather than against them!

Science Fiction Double Feature We are delighted to share the news that we have got sufficient interest in B Movie to open sign ups for a second run. This second showing will be June 7th - 12th 2026 (Tuesday-Friday)

A sneak peak of the player's guide for B Movie; we are aiming to release the first version later this week!

It is 1954 in Hollywood, a city built on dreams and shadows, a small group of passionate people are working on a project that will change their lives:for better or for worse. Burdened by their own consuming darkness, they will breathe life into a film that could be their redemption - or their ruin.
