If you’re a fan of exploitation and cult cinema, chances are you’ve always had an affinity for monsters. Whether they were romping around the dark corners of your adolescent brain, terrorizing you from your TV screen, or manifested in an alchemic mix of both, your formative years were invariably lined with some sort of slimy, sharp-toothed bogey that was most likely hiding under your bed. And admittedly, at times, we all want to go back to our cereal-stuffed 10-year-old selves and relive some of those early scares that are so often drenched with radical nostalgia. Cue writers John Campopiano and...

Justin Ishmael is a name that may already be on your rewind-inclined radar as the main brain behind the heavy-hitting brand Mondo: a multifaceted production outfit that entered the fresh VHS arena with releases of Andrew Jordan’s Things, big box editions for both The Visitor and Ms. 45 and a highly coveted limited edition of Franck Khalfoun’s 2012 Maniac remake, among others. Ishmael’s Mondo has also made its mark on the fresh VHS movement via their work with those bodacious video vindicators at Bleeding Skull! Video, collaboratively unleashing limited edition slabs of obscure trash cinema insanity like Cards of Death,...

The importance for historical documentation of that inimitably fun and interactive atmosphere of vintage video rental stores cannot be overstated, Tapeheads. We recently featured the following video from Growing Up 80s and 90s on some Lunchmeat VHSocial media, but we thought it proper to stick it right here on the blog so more Lunchmeat Land regulars can take a peek through this absolutely radical video window that features the tape-lined guts of a classic small town video store in Rochester, MN called Valhalla Video, circa 1991.     The video, which was shot on VHS (most righteous!), offers an informative look...

The video vindicating crew over at Magnetic Magic Rentals have already demonstrated a tinge of allegiance to the infernal side of analog with their now-sold-out-release of the absolutely bonkers and banned public access curiosity The Great Satan at Large (which any fan of outrageous and blasphemous video rea obscurities should check out immediately) and their in-house illustration turned t-shirt hailing the likes of VHSatan. But MMR is now bringing a celebration of ravishing grimness to fresh VHS with the release of a black metal documentary from filmmakers Fredrick Akselsen and Christian Falch entitled Blackhearts (click here for the trailer). Offered...

Endearingly odd avant-garde filmmaker Carl J. Sukenick has recently enjoyed a remarkable revival via the rewind way. Fresh VHS releases of Sukenick's signature style of beyond-bizzare, no-budget cinema were initially offered up by video vindicating stalwarts Massacre Video with radical re-issues of ALIEN BEASTS and MUTANT MASSACRE 2, which have been followed by limited edition home video releases from Horror Boobs (TOXIC RETARDS), SRS Cinema (SPACE PSYCHOS), Sick Slice Cinema (SUKENICK SUPERCHUNK), and Saturn's Core Audio & Video (BLOOD BOY) just to name a few.   Cue Poser Rot Productions. They've already entered the far out realm of rewindable Sukenick...
