POSER ROT Partners with Low-Budget Stalwart David S. Sterling to Bring THINGS, THINGS 4 and IT KILLS: CAMP BLOOD 7 to Fresh VHS! Plus! More in Store!
The rewind-inclined crew at Poser Rot Productions continue to impress by expanding their selection of fresh VHS offerings, Tapeheads. Known for their celebration of Carl J. Sukenick’s brain-bending signature cinema via limited edition VHS re-animations (their latest Sukenick slab Zombie City is already sold out), Poser Rot is now ready to move into new tape territory via a partnership with low-budget cinema stalwart David S. Sterling. Using the momentum from their Sukenick launchpad, they’ve recently issued a three-headed attack of limited edition VHS, all harvested from the Sterling archives, and all housed in a VHSexy, full-color slipcase presentation.

A little over two years ago in March of 2015, Lunchmeat ran an article exploring the Canadian-based endeavor called PROJECT GET REEL: an initiative that aimed to collect, dismantle and recycle some 2.26 billion unwanted and abandoned VHS tapes overflowing in The Great White North, with intentions to keep them out of the landfill and protect the environment from the plastics and poisonous chemicals that coat those reels of magnetic magic. It’s an honorable endeavor indeed, but the project aroused an important question among VHS collectors and media preservationists alike: what about the copious amounts of assorted cultural material still...

Some of the more voracious Videovores out there will likely remember the limited edition re-issue of Greg Lambertson’s ooey-gooey splatter epic Slime City that was unleashed for this past VHSummer’s most righteous rewind-inclined event VHS FEST at Mahoning Drive-In Theater. You’ll also probably remember that those spectacular pink, green, and yellow videocassette re-issues got gobbled up quicker than you can say “I like what’s happening to me!” But for Halloween 2017 at Chiller Theater, Camp Motion Pictures brought Slime City back on classic black videocassettes, and luckily, they still have a few ready to be consumed on their official...
