It’s (somewhat) official: Hell Roller Is Worse Than Things… As a VHS hunter and obscure film watcher, I’ve seen more than my fair share of terrible films. You know the ones: they promise action but all they do is talk, talk, talk, like some kind of nightmarish date, right? I mean, it’s clear why those flicks never made it to DVD: they weren’t worth putting onto VHS in the first place. There’s nothing worse than a boring flick. Be great, be awful, just don’t be boring. However, there are other films that despite having a profusion of action, are still...

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...

Whenever I’m in need of a good laugh and a fill of B-Movie and Cult movie awesomeness (when am I not in need of the latter?), I find myself taking a ride down Steve Jenck's aka Barry Goodall’s Lost-Highway. I’ve been in contact with Dr. Jencks and Mr. Goodall for a while now, and let me tell you: this guy rules. He loves horror, exploitation, nachos, rubber beasts, real boobs, etc. Certainly, he’s the kind of guy LM wants you to know about. www.the-losthighway.com is one of those sites that puts itself out there as a B-movie review palace, but...

The Lunchmeat HQ received a most delightful email a few days ago from a fellow Videovore named Matt O'Neill telling us all about his new company which recently launched on Halloween of 2011: ItsOnlyaTshirt.com - Based in Australia, Matt is planning to show some love for his favorite horror flicks by creating high-quality, fully-licensed, one-of-a-kind shirt designs and releasing them in - get this - a full color clamshell VHS box! Dig it! His first entry in the line is none other than the 1978 Aussie classic Patrick! I had the pleasure of asking Matt a few questions about what...

As the hunt for VHS becomes tougher and tougher, I thought I would share with you Videovores my two favorite places to look. No, it isn’t eBay or any other online store. There’s something just soulless about looking for a specific VHS and buying it off some website. *shudder* I enjoy finding films that I never knew existed in person… and considering less than 50% of movies on VHS made the conversion to DVD, the chances are pretty damn likely I'll find something totally unheard of. Awesome. We all know garage sales are hit or miss (which in itself can...
