VHS is a friend of The Reaper!

There seems to be an inextricable marriage between horror and metal. The aesthetics and values meld together like something along the line of proverbial beer and nachos. So, when my brother from another mother showed up in my basement last weekend with the UK heavy metal awesomeness that is GRIM REAPER – “FEAR NO EVIL” on Lp, you know it was time to kick back a few cold ones, spin that slab o’ sinister sounds and bang our heads, air guitar in hand. Who's gonna pay for this window, Reaper Dude? Damn... nice bike, though... But what fell out of...

A Videovore Score!!

Every now and again, Lunchmeat will receive an awesome email from a voracious Videovore out there who wants to share the joys of their radical video collection or how thrilled they are with their newest score of tapes. I recently received one of these wildly enthusiastic and totally too cool emails from a Videovore by the name of Adolfo and it inspired me to create a new feature on the blog that will feature Videovore’s collections, tape hauls and anything else that revolves around the collecting community, so be sure to stay tuned to the blog for more journeys into...

Hey, Tapeheads! Time for Vide-O-Rama: A Feast of Video Cover Vittles!

Greetings, Videovores! It's time to take a bite of the first installment of what we like to call VIDE-O-RAMA! The plan is to display these bodacious video covers on regular basis here on our beastly blog. These particular covers are from my buddy Kevin's collection (check out his KILLER website here: www.HouseofMysteriousSecrets.com) This is the best site to score all kinds of groovy monster and horror goodies. Lunchmeat Approved! These covers are in the pot for consideration as Kevin and I gather covers for our Video Cover Trading Card project that we've been working on (that' right: trading cards!), that...
