Filmmaker Patrick Summers Brings Lost Canadian Cult Zombie Classic CORPSE EATERS to Limited Edition VHS for the FIRST TIME EVER with VIDEO HOARDER! Exclusive Coverage with Details on How to VHSecure your Slab!

With a background in movie-making and some inspiration from a dear friend, nascent VHS label Video Hoarder main brain Patrick Summers is preparing to re-animate one of the rarest zombie flicks of all-time via slabs of Limited Edition analog. Corpse Eaters was the brainchild of Mr. Lawrence Zazelenchuk, the owner of a Canadian drive-in called The 69 Drive-In (!!!). Zazelenchuk served as writer, producer and make-up artist on the 1974 film, who created the movie to play at the 69 with intentions to invade a slew of other drive-in destinations. A bum distribution deal soured those plans, and Corpse Eaters...

Here it is, my fellow Videovores. An Official Kidprint tape from Blockbuster. There's gotta be a pin floating around with this Kidprint logo. There just has to be. Created around 1990 through a...

Cult Shot On VHS Public Access Variety Show 30 MINUTES OF MADNESS Gets Revisited with the Full Length Feature Documentary 20 YEARS OF MADNESS! A Most Excellent In-Depth Interview with Main Brain Jerry White, Jr!

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...
