Exceptionally attentive Tapeheads are apt to remember an analog-inclined outfit by the name of Screaming Like Banshees: a group of Wisconsin-based indie filmmakers who unleashed a self-produced cheezy chunk of horror anthology homage entitled TERRORTALES on fresh VHS around August of 2013. Since then, this low-budget film collective has been roaming the Wisconsin woods and churning up buckets of fake blood in order to put together their newest cinematic concoction THE LURKING: a one-hour trip into the low lives of two drugged out degenerates who stumble around the woods and try to get laid while 11 (count ‘em – 11!)...

The video vindication of Bloomingdale, NJ-based fresh VHS outfit Saturn’s Core Audio and Video might already be on your rewind radar from their limited edition slabs of analog celebrating obscure cult cinema like Christopher “The Black Ed Wood” Michael's 1995 health club horror epic Terror Of Blood Gym, a double-bill of lost William Hellfire flicks (To Escape Bondage and Swinging Swinger, done in association with Horror Boobs Video) and a pair of Carl J. Sukenick mind-benders with Blood Boy and Space Zombies. Saturn’s Core has recently VHSpewed forth yet another radical re-animation, this time unearthing some obscure shot-on-video insanity with...

Imagine if you will, Tapeheads, a magical VCR that could munch on your favorite flicks and make them into a new mix, interbreeding their most iconic elements, subsequently spitting out a brand new, never-before-seen analog experience. Now imagine how addicting that could be, and what would happen if that magic starts to spill out onto your living room floor, slowly creeping up your couch and ultimately invading your brain, ready to yank you into its next home video hybrid. Welcome to the House of VHS: a French-made indie horror /comedy flick from the magnetically-inclined mind of writer / director Gautier...

When Jerry White, Jr. and a few of his friends first started filming their backyard hijinks with a VHS camcorder in the early 90s, they had little idea that it would be the basis for one of the most significant times in their lives. 30 Minutes of Madness is a cult variety show that ran through the early to mid-90s on Public Access. It’s largely shot-on-video, chock full of low-brow humor, non-sequitur and all kinds of experimental antics, created by a counter-culture collective consisting of self-proclaimed outsider artists from Michigan. These shot-on-video skits contain improvisational entertainment that just drip with...
