VHS Collecting in 2017: The Perks of Online Tape Trading and The Thrill of Hunting the Rewind Wild!

I had originally written this piece on July 24th, 2016 on a bus ride up to Horror Boobs Headquarters in New York, subsequently submitting it to the first issue of an indie VHS-centric zine which unfortunately never made it to publication. This piece has stayed in the back of my mind since last year, and after re-reading it the other day and finding it to still carry relevance in the culture, I thought to publish here in Lunchmeat Land as a throwback. Here’s that piece in its entirety, with only a couple minor tweaks… Let's get back to July 2016,...

LO-FI VIDEO Brings BEYOND THE GATES to Limited Edition VHS and Prepares to Re-Animate SLASHDANCE on VHS with VERBODEN VIDEO!

LA-based Lo-Fi Video established themselves in the fresh VHS world with their VHS re-animations of cult horror classics like Don’t Go in the Woods, Rocktober Blood and the absolutely radical big box edition of what is arguably the most ridiculous and lewdly entertaining “exercise” video of all time: Linnea Quigley’s Horror Workout. But in the latter half of their existence, Lo-Fi has displayed a knack for capturing the rights to commit some of the most exciting contemporary cult / horror flicks to VHS, including a big box edition of the neo-cult classic post-apocalyptic sci-fi romp Turbo Kid and a limited...
