NewVHS Champions Analog Aesthetics while Busting your Gut!

One of the most rewarding aspects of doing LUNCHMEAT are the folks that reach out to me and say, “Hey, we love VHS, too!” It always stokes me out, and it’s been happening more and more as the VHS tape seems to re-awaken in the hearts and minds of nostalgia junkies everywhere. One particularly groovy message came through the other day from a couple of dudes by the name of Spencer Starnes and Kevin Wright who shared with me a collection of VHS-inspired shorts, comedic in form and aesthetically VHS-obsessed in essence, a project that operates under the handle “NewVHS”....

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.

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...

NECRONOMICON FANZINE conjures up the love for VHS in the UK!

Howdy, Videovores! Jacob AKA Uncouth here to hip you to an awesome UK based horror fanzine I recently stumbled across in my frequent journeys through the weirdness. I’m a huge fan of print zines (hence my contributions to Lunchmeat!) and I’m always on the prowl for new ones... or... in this case... ones that are new to me! A prime example of the amazingly DIY covers for NECRONOMICON!! Dig that cut and paste smack in the face!! Necronomicon Fanzine has been in publication since way back in 2001!
