Dylan Hughes Evokes the Glory Days of SOV Skate Vids with his Shot on VHS-C Skateboarding Creation URBAN DECAY!

If you grew up skating (or even just appreciating) in the 90s, then you probably have an affinity for the guerilla-style, direct-to-VHS skate videos that dominated that particularly prolific era. This distinct filmmaking aesthetic, replete with low angle camera shots and fish eye lenses, sonically-fueled by indie hip-hop, punk and alt-jazz soundtracks, ooze with a certain inimitable style and nostalgia. Fortunately for us, South Florida skater and filmmaker Dylan Hughes has been hitting the VHStreets, armed with vintage VHS-C JVC GR-AX400 camcorder equipped with a Baby Death Fisheye Lens to recapture the feeling of those analog glory days. A VHStill...

Analog Artifact Unearthed! Check out the Promotional Blank VHS that Came with a 3 Pack Purchase of Salem and Camel Cigarettes! VHSmokin’ Nostalgia, Videovores!

Here’s a little blast from the past that I just had to VHShare with all the Videovores here in Lunchmeat Land! While perusing the world weird web on my perpetual search for rewind-inclined goodies, I came across this little slab of analog advertisement from R. J. Reynolds / Salem cigarettes. In 1989, they ran a promotion for a free blank videotape with the purchase of 3 packs of their signature menthol smokes. Ah, the 80s and early 90s… just nothing quite like them, eh, Tapeheads? And upon further inspection, it looks like whichever VHSmoker scored this freebie taped some Elvis...

But beyond his restless work with all of the above, he’s also been representing the rewind way and celebrating his favorite film format with a couple of fresh VHS releases via the TV imprint and is also currently en route to establishing a full-on, horror-and-sci-fi-focused video rental section...

Insane Animation Creation WHEN BLACK BIRDS FLY from Filmmaker Jimmy Screamerclauz Now Available on Limited Edition VHS!

Some fantastic fresh VHS news has arrived from freaky deaky filmmaker Jimmy Screamerclauz who has just unleashed his newest animated nightmare When Black Birds Fly in limited edition analog fashion. You may recognize Screamerclauz from his previous slice of insano animation entitled Where the Dead Go to Die, or his more recent work as the composer on the 2014 film American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore. His brand of utterly surreal, otherworldly animation is known for being delightfully dark, extremely odd and incredibly imaginative, but you can sample a taste of his work by taking a bite out...
