We’ve just entered late September and that inevitable sugar rush of heady Halloween vibes are already amped up on high. The monster cereal is stocked up and ready to flow into your groovy glow-in-the-dark bat-shaped bowl, countless bags of candy have been snatched, taste-tested, rationed and stashed, and now, killer candy-coated announcements have started to ooze into view, helping to make everyone aware of the upcoming analog-inclined autumnal excitement. Cue the latest piece of fresh VHS news just announced from writer / producer (and owner / operator of the incredibly cool Myers House) and the video vindicators at Vultra Video:...

And so it has been done with an IndieGoGo campaign created expressly to bring the fans of Turbo Kid shirts, posters, DVDs, radical action figures (!!) and, yes, a Limited Edition VHS!

Torin Langen is a name you may recognize from his low-budget (but high-quality) production company Candle Flame Films and the spooktacular short film Fondue. His affinity for analog has been previously evidenced by some radical limited edition VHS released through Candle Flame, including the SOV throwback horror short Trash.

Here’s Torin with more details on the start...
