Museum of Arts and Design VHS retrospective creates an authentic video rental store as Grand Finale! And no late fees! Dig it!

Over the past few months, The Museum of Arts and Design in New York has hosted a nostalgic retrospective on the VHS format. Spearheaded by Matt Desiderio of Horror Boobs and Blood Video along with collaboration with an army of other VHS fanatics including Dan Kinem and Levi “Dabedoo” Peretic from VHShitFest, Mark Freado, Jr. from Spectacle Theater and, of course, yours truly, VHS culture, appreciation and celebration has been abounding within MAD’s walls and spilling out onto the streets as a result. We’ve presented VHS-era films with Q&As, crazy found VHS footage collections, presentations on the impact VHS aesthetics...

Groovy Analog Appreciation invades ArtScape in Baltimore with VHS/VIP!

Just a couple of weekends ago (July 20th-22nd, 2012), I had the extreme pleasure of groovin’ my caboose on down to Baltimore, MD to assemble with the incredible creative cadre that is the nation’s largest free arts festival: ArtScape! I collaborated with local Baltimore filmmaker Chris LaMartina (along with some help from Rob Hatch from 48-Hour Film Fest!) and together we unleashed some unbridled VHS appreciation and celebration on the hundred thousand some-odd folks who dared journey through the sprawling array of installations and creations. The front of VHS/VIP! Check out those huge VHS covers! Mega-groovy! Our installation was deemed...

The Turnpike Killer: All Roads Lead to Your VCR!

I was first introduced to Brian Weaver and Evan Makrogiannis’ directorial work with a film called The Super. I had actually been acquainted with Brian through his interest in the magazine (and mutual interest in video esoterica, of course) and I was thrilled to be in touch with someone that was making such a groovy independent horror production, especially a flick that features the cult beauty (and one of my personal favorites) Lynn Lowry. But when I heard that the NY based directorial duo was releasing their homage to the seedy grindhouse era entitled The Turnpike Killer on VHS in...

BLOODY BONES teaser trailer looks like gory VHS era glory!

Bobby Canipe is a guy that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting through the wonderful world of VHS obsession. Ever since I’ve come into contact with him, he’s represented himself as an extremely enthusiastic and involved individual in the VHS collector culture. We’ve geeked out many a time about obscure flicks and analog awesomeness, especially a little flick called Lunch Meat. So, when he announced that he was going to be creating his very first full-length feature that would champion the 80s VHS Horror aesthetic, I just had to know more about it. Read on, Videovores, and let your brain...

HORROR BOOBS VIDEO brings MOLD! to your VCR!

The army of Videvores out there are well aware of the fact that mold is one the VHS tape’s mortal enemies. There’s no bigger analog bummer than unearthing a radical tape, slipping it from the case for inspection and finding the reels ravaged by abominable white mold! Damn, it’s the worst! However, it just so happens there’s now an instance where a certain unfriendly fungi and the VHS tape can live in perfect harmony: the Horror Boobs Video VHS release of Neil Meschino’s MOLD! The ultra-groovy one-sheet for MOLD! How's that mold taste, Congressman Blankenship? Released in 2009, MOLD! was...
