The horrors of B-grade brought to life by @www

Digital agency @www has developed an micro site and interactive competition to promote pay television channel World Movies homage to B-grade horror films.

The season, called B-Invasion, will showcase a range of tacky B-grade horror films from the 50s and 60s through December and January.

The microsite and competitions build buzz for the series of 'its so bad its good' movies, World Movies is calling for budding filmmakers to submit their B-grade movie or movie idea via YouTube for a chance to have it broadcast the channel.

“The objective was to drive entrants and viewers to the promotional site, whilst simultaneously raising awareness for the World Movies Channel and their support of up and coming filmmakers.” said @www Creative Director, TristanFawley

“By developing a broader seeding strategy including user generated content and social networks such as YouTube, The World Movies Channel can reach a far greater audience than a traditional on-air or online campaign.”

@www has worked with World Movies for the past five years developing their main website and seasonal campaign sites to support specific film seasons.
