	Cult - SCIFIPEDIA
		A cult in the traditional sense is an assemblage of adherents of any exclusive system of religious beliefs and/or spiritual practice.

	Cult film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cult film is a colloquial term for a film that has accrued a small but devoted group of fans, having failed to achieve fame outside that group.
		Although films of all genres and plot conventions may become cult films, the horror and science fiction and experimental film genres have become the focus of those wanting to identify a film as a cult film, perhaps due to the relatively young and cynical nature of these genres' fan bases.
		The identification of a film as having cult status is particularly dependent upon generation x, whose members are most interested in the concept and its films.

	Cult following - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cult followings establish their own canons and cherish the notion of cult classics, which are individual items with cult followings.
		Cult classics are generally films that capture the imagination, defining a new world or reflecting events in society, and are often science fiction or horror films.
		Cult followings are usually generated through a film or television show having targeted a particular genre, typically fantasy, sci-fi, comedy or horror, but occasionally (though rarely) a romantic film or tv series will fall into a cult following.

	Cult
		A cult is also a religious group held together by a dominant, often charismatic individual, or by the worship of a divinity, an idol, or some other object.
		Cult followings are often dedicated enough that many of the people in them have at least heard of each other due to their meeting at conventions, concerts, internet chat rooms or shops featuring the item in question.
		A cult classic is a work of fiction, it can be a film or television show or book, that is extremely popular with a select audience.

	Cult - Uncyclopedia
		Cults are often accompanied by smaller groups of musicians whose sole purpose is to play music that goes "DA-DA-DAAAAAAAA!" every time one of the cultists says something that could be construed as scary or threatening.
		Cults are also heavily invested in weather-control technology, the end result of which will be the power to summon forth scary forks of lightning and thunder to punctuate any expositional statements.
		However, the cult practice of 'love bombing' (actually originally started out as 'glove bombing' but then the typewriter got a little broken and they took off the gloves) where people are showered with praise and told that they are actually worth something makes cult initiates accept whatever the cult leaders tell them.

	Mind Control in Twenty Minutes
		Cult belief systems are bi-polar because they encourage the aspirant to identify with this imagined ideal new self, and then, from the perspective of this new self, to see their old self as comparatively inferior and flawed.
		A cult is rather like a card sharp [3], who will let a newcomer win the first few games, in order to take all their money in the long run.
		On the other hand, to the extent that the cult belief system fails to retain credibility and is eschewed, to that extent an ex-member will tend to feel shame at their foolishness and gullibility in having once adopted beliefs and aspired to ideals which they now regard as unrealistic.

	WHAT IS CULT TV?
		Cult TV is often distinguished by its high style, its innovative subject matter (such as improved roles for women), its sexual outrageousness, or its uncompromising political stance.
		Therefore, most new shows hoping to cultivate a cult following tend to appeal to existing interpretive communities, particularly the large umbrella of sci-fi fandom which has in place an infrastructure of fanzines, newsgroups, and conventions.
		What distinguishes cult shows from typical fare is that a relatively large percentage of the viewers are avid fans and that these fans have relatively high visibility compared to the avid fans of other shows.

		A cult, however it is defined, depends on faith and deindividuation--that is, remove the power of reason in followers and make them dependent upon the group and/or the leader.
		Rand and her followers were, in their time, accused of being a cult which, of course, they denied.
		Rand's verbal attack was followed by a six-page open letter to her followers in her publication The Objectivist (May, 1968).

		The Cult Information Centre reports that "therapy" or "personal development" groups, which may have a slicker, more corporate approach, are increasingly giving cause for concern.
		One parent whose son was recruited into a cult found out only when his bank contacted her about the five-figure debt he had run up within his first two terms.
		The National Union of Students, which works with the Cult Information Centre to disseminate information on cults to student unions, advises students to be wary of invitations to meetings or lectures where the objectives are not clearly stated.

	Cult Films
		Cult films are usually strange, quirky, offbeat, eccentric, oddball, or surreal, with outrageous, weird, unique and cartoony characters or plots, and garish sets.
		Most cult films cut across many film genres (science fiction, horror, melodrama, etc.), although some film genres are also more prone to being cultish, such as the horror or sci-fi genres.
		Another highly-regarded cult film is Monte Hellman's low-budget Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) - a late 60s to early 70s entry in the road film genre - that was both an existential character study and a car-chase/race film.

	10 Ways to Build a Cult-Like Following
		Keep in mind that one cult leader, 2000 years ago, would speak to anyone who would listen but he granted his most sacred attention to his 12 closest disciples.
		People will also respond to the same basic needs being fulfilled; the need to be needed, the need for hope in a tough time, the need to feel in control, the need blame something else for their troubles, the need to learn about something they don't know or not supposed to know.
		The hardest of the responsibilities is simply living up to what you are presenting to people.

		Some have been intimidated by threats of legal action; others fear that cults have abandoned a stall at the Freshers Fair for the more sophisticated and harder-to-police tactic of student plants in halls of residence.
		Questions about what constitutes a cult and what a new religious movement, what is exploitative and what a matter of individual choice, are crystallised around young adults' membership of sects and belief groups.
		Stephen Williams, senior Anglican chaplain to universities in the diocese of London, takes a dispassionate view, telling parents not to be alarmed when they come to him with concerns about the group their son or daughter has joined.

	BEHIND THESE GATES LURKS THE CULT OF CHRISTO.

		Yes, the followers of Christo have studied the gospel, but that doesn't mean they can explain his role as an artist.
		Christo and his wife, you see, lay claim to all the glory without getting their hands dirty -- not that his disciples are looking for much credit.

	Cult films: what we want - Features
		Another, much more obvious sign of a movie's cult status is a year-round midnight showing of the movie with fans dressed as characters in attendance.
		The cult following for "Plan 9" cannot be attributed to its quality; it has received its status, instead, because it is ineptly made on every level imaginable.
		No list of cult films is complete without "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Starring Tim Curry as the transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter, this good-natured send-up of B-movie horror and sci-fi films has quite possibly the biggest and most devoted cult following of all films.

		It's a mystery why this particular city should be so smitten by The Cult's combination of big guitar riffage and wailing vocals, but the band was wise enough to be loudly appreciative, sending out lavish thank-yous along with the flying tambourines and non-stop rock.
		The Cult has had a strange history filled with musical left turns, revolving rhythm sections, awkward hiatuses, rehab stints and waxing and waning sales.

	What is the Ruckmanite Cult? - Moriel Ministries
		Ruckmanites are a neo gnostic cult following the beliefs of Peter Ruckman.
		Ruckman and his followers hold the 1611 edition of The King James Bible as authoratative and infallible instead of the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, and maintain that KJV additions are "further revelation".
		It is not an institutional cult with a formal organization, but a network of mini cults sharing common heretical beliefs and paranoidesque delusions.

		Jon's site was the glue that kept many Cult fans together, and the band should be greatly indebted to him for his perseverance and loyalty.
		Sanctuary was the unofficial Cult fanzine from "Sonic Temple" through to "The Cult" and the band's demise in 1995.
