Tabletop Games
Many tabletop RPGs are a cult within a cult following, including;
 * Bunnies and Burrows
 * Call of Cthulhu
 * Deadlands
 * In Nomine
 * Pinball in general.
 * Traveller
 * Dungeons & Dragons has been the go-to RPG for decades, and has served as the Trope Codifier for most modern Fantasy and RPG games and media ever since.

Theatre

 * 13
 * Greater Tuna
 * Jesus Christ Superstar
 * Hair
 * Little Shop of Horrors (the off-Broadway production)
 * Despite Andrew Lloyd Webber's attempts to disown Starlight Express, the musical has attracted a small but extremely dedicated fanbase, many members of which dress up as the characters a la The Rocky Horror Picture Show, interact with the actors backstage, and travel to cities and overseas to attend as many productions as possible.
 * The Revels productions
 * Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
 * Repo! The Genetic Opera
 * Rent You know. Rent-heads, and all.
 * Spring Awakening has a following who call themselves "The Guilty Ones".

Theme Parks

 * The Pirates of the Caribbean ride on which the film franchise is based is so cult, it attracted a fandom backlash before the movie was released over Johnny Depp and his gold teeth. The resulting kerfuffle only helped sell the film, of course.
 * Although it was closed after eight years of operation for scaring the pants off of too many little children, the Extraterrorestrial Alien Encounter at Walt Disney World has a loyal following who admire the attraction for its dark humor and rich atmosphere.
 * Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is a bit cult, to the point where Disney made a film based on the ride instead of the book (The Wind In The Willows). There are shrines to the attraction years after it closed down.
 * Disney's film The Wind in the Willows was based on...the book. It came out in 1949, while the ride (and Disneyland itself) are from six years later. The 1996 adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's book was then titled Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in the US, presumably so people would make a connection to the Disney ride.
 * The Great Movie Ride.
 * Drachen Fire was a steel roller coaster at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. The ride was infamous for being very rough and encountered many problems during its lifetime. It opened in 1992 and closed in 1998; the park attempted to re-open the coaster in 2002 but failed and ended up demolishing it. Despite the ride's many problems, it had/still has a cult following by coaster enthusiasts and fans of the park.

F-H

R-T

 * RBI Baseball

 * Revelations: The Demon Slayer
 * Most of the other old Shin Megami Tensei games would fall under this as well.

 * Same applies to Princess Crown.
 * Or any other game made by Vanillaware.
 * Rise of the Triad
 * River City Ransom
 * Riviera: The Promised Land
 * Rocket Jockey
 * Terra Nova Strike Force Centauri

 * Syndicate
 * System Shock and especially its sequel.
 * Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre
 * The Tale of Alltynex trilogy.
 * The Tales (series) has had a couple commercially successful installments in America, to varying extents, but the series overall outside Japan is very much a dedicated niche. Not helped by how many of the games don't leave Japan to begin with.
 * Tales of Symphonia
 * Tales of the Abyss
 * Tales of Vesperia
 * Tecmo Bowl (NES) and Tecmo Super Bowl

X-Z

 * Xexex, obscure, but well loved by those who have played it.
 * XIII, the video game adaptation at least
 * Yume Nikki; a strange, little freeware game by un unheard of Japanese creator, too large to be browser-based, and only distributed by the fans. Yet it has created no less than two dozen fangames (all of which can be seen here), massive amounts of Wild Mass Guessing, and an incredible amount of Memetic Mutation. And the game's only been released as Version 0.1.
 * Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
 * Zone of the Enders
 * Zork

UNSORTED

 * Interactive Fiction in general is a cult genre comparable to CB radio.
 * Same with Multi User Dungeons.
 * Anything by CAVE.
 * Anything by Clover Studios.
 * By proxy, the same could be said of most of Platinum Games' work.
 * Anything by Humongous Entertainment.
 * Anything by Nippon Ichi, though Disgaea is the company's most famous work.
 * Anything by Suda 51.
 * Anything by Treasure.
 * Anything by Vanillaware. Their ranks are comprised of the same former Atlus members that worked on the aforementioned Princess Crown (in fact, Odin Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade are Spiritual Successors to Princess Crown).
 * Japanese Visual Novels in general, i.e, the good ones.
 * Then there are the cult classics among this already niche genre, namely Brass Restoration, Narcissu, True Remembrance...mostly doujin stuff.
 * Shmups in general, at least in modern gaming (back in the Golden Age, they enjoyed mainstream popularity).
 * Fighter's History
 * In the same vein, Visco's Breakers. Ironically, while Fighter's History was known as the SFII copycat (to the point that Capcom filled a lawsuit against them), it was Breakers that had a larger number of Captain Ersatzes on the roster. Regardless, both titles were good enough to receive sequels (Fighter's History Dynamite and Breakers Revenge) and possess dedicated followings despite having fallen into obscurity.
 * All of the titles made by Ukrainian developer Deep Shadows count.
 * Boiling Point: Road to Hell
 * White Gold: War in Paradise and
 * The Precursors (The last two only released in Eastern Europe, though fan translations are available)
 * The Great Giana Sisters and its DS remake.

 * The Thief and the Cobbler
 * ThunderCats

Entire Media

 * Tokusatsu
 * Video Games used to fall under this, being seen as the exclusive domain of children and nerds. In the last decade, however, the success of products like the Nintendo Wii and iPhone App Store, as well as franchises like Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Madden NFL, Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, have made video games a much more commonplace and socially acceptable pastime. Still, most games apart from big-name franchises remain relatively obscure in mainstream popular culture.
 * Gamebooks have a small, but incredibly devoted following of readers, authors, bloggers, and programmers who kept the medium alive and thriving to this day.
