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!)...

At the end of that piece, we sent out a small rewind wish to see the newest holiday horror hit KRAMPUS done up in analog aesthetics with hopes of seeing it spill from the top of our VHStocking on Christmas morn.

Nostalgia for the almighty VHS is running high right now, Tapeheads, perhaps higher than ever before, with a revival of appreciation that mirrors the fervent feelings for the format upon its arrival and subsequent home entertainment takeover in the 80s and early 90s. With all of the retrospective praise for its now-missed analog aesthetics and the collective aversion to the ennui caused by endless streaming media outlets, it seems the VHS and it’s often eye-catching, vibrant artwork along with its staunch physicality helps us back to a time when things were simpler, more fun and picking out a movie for...
