The importance for historical documentation of that inimitably fun and interactive atmosphere of vintage video rental stores cannot be overstated, Tapeheads. We recently featured the following video from Growing Up 80s and 90s on some Lunchmeat VHSocial media, but we thought it proper to stick it right here on the blog so more Lunchmeat Land regulars can take a peek through this absolutely radical video window that features the tape-lined guts of a classic small town video store in Rochester, MN called Valhalla Video, circa 1991.     The video, which was shot on VHS (most righteous!), offers an informative look...

The video vindicating crew over at Magnetic Magic Rentals have already demonstrated a tinge of allegiance to the infernal side of analog with their now-sold-out-release of the absolutely bonkers and banned public access curiosity The Great Satan at Large (which any fan of outrageous and blasphemous video rea obscurities should check out immediately) and their in-house illustration turned t-shirt hailing the likes of VHSatan. But MMR is now bringing a celebration of ravishing grimness to fresh VHS with the release of a black metal documentary from filmmakers Fredrick Akselsen and Christian Falch entitled Blackhearts (click here for the trailer). Offered...

Endearingly odd avant-garde filmmaker Carl J. Sukenick has recently enjoyed a remarkable revival via the rewind way. Fresh VHS releases of Sukenick's signature style of beyond-bizzare, no-budget cinema were initially offered up by video vindicating stalwarts Massacre Video with radical re-issues of ALIEN BEASTS and MUTANT MASSACRE 2, which have been followed by limited edition home video releases from Horror Boobs (TOXIC RETARDS), SRS Cinema (SPACE PSYCHOS), Sick Slice Cinema (SUKENICK SUPERCHUNK), and Saturn's Core Audio & Video (BLOOD BOY) just to name a few.   Cue Poser Rot Productions. They've already entered the far out realm of rewindable Sukenick...

Grady Hendrix has made a name for himself within the world of fiction authors with his unique takes on traditional horror tropes, but his approach to book design has proven to be equally as distinctive. His 2014 haunted house novel, Horrorstor, was designed to look like an IKEA catalog in order to complement its setting: a haunted big box furniture store (called ORSK, ‘cuz, ya know, trademarks and stuff).     The totally killer rewind-inclined cover art for MY BEST FRIEND'S EXORCISM, coming soon to paperback from Quirk Books!     Hendrix’s latest novel, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, his foray...

The waves of fresh VHS excellence are steady rolling in, Tapeheads, and today in Lunchmeat Land we feature one of the more enthusiastic and exciting entities to enter the analog-inclined arena in recent rewind-inclined memory: Weird Life LTR. Since their inception in 2016, they’ve released a small army of fresh VHS releases, which I highly VHSuggest checking out via this here hot link.   It’s their newest release, however, that’s grabbed our attention with WLLTR issuing a limited edition videocassettte featuring filmmaker Courtney Fathom Sell’s homegrown and heartfelt documentary Tracking Issues. Tracking Issues is described by Sell as, “ chronicle...
