Hey-yo, my fellow Tapeheads! Man, the preparation and execution for this past weekend’s Severed event and unveiling of the initial installment of The Museum of VHS was most analog excellent, but after that whirlwind of rewind-inclined extreme excitement, we needed some VCRest, mang! VHSincere apologies for that delay! We’re now back in the VHSaddle and ready to bring you more magnetically crazed coverage with a new duo of fresh VHS dealing dudes from The Great White North operating under the banner of Video Carnage Video.

Ontario Videovore Ben Ruffett Offers Up Obscure VHS Screenings with Hamilton’s Trash Cinema and Contributes Some of His Analog Expertise to the Upcoming VIDEONOMICON VHS Re-issue of SCIENCE CRAZED!

Ben Ruffett and his Hamiltion's Trash Cinema banner initially grabbed my analog-inclined attention via their steady stream of obscure and aesthetically excellent VHS tapes on the Book of Face. Ben and his HTC outfit kept my feed fat with titles that consistently gave me a serious dose VHShelf envy, offering a glimpse at mind-melting slabs of magnetic magic like Marley’s Revenge, Satan’s Place and the ever-so-elusive original release of The Bloody Video Horror that Made Me Puke on my Aunt Gertrude.

Sick Slice Cinema Unleashes the Matty Calhoun / DEAD/BROKE PRODUCTIONS Backwoods SOV Horror DEAD END DRIVE on Limited Edition VHS!

It all starts with a consumer grade camcorder swiped from your parent’s closet. You stay up way too late, pound cans of sugar water to stay awake and just kind of make it up as you go, using your favorite slabs of analog excellence as a sort of road map to arrive at some sort of gory end. That’s how Dead/ Broke Productions got started, and while over the years Matty Calhoun and crew have evolved with their filmmaking, the VHSpirit remains the same. It’s all about no-budget, horror-drenched homemade flicks made with your friends, if only to gather around...

As any Tapehead is likely to tell you, an acute appreciation for the aesthetics of VHS is one the most inherent aspects of our love for this magnetic medium. The innate idiosyncrasies and inevitable decay of the analog picture and sound in their natural state are usually enough to appease the average analog aesthetic thirst, but there are others who want to take those natural clips and blips a bit further and manipulate them into their own personal mutation of magnetic magic. Enter Logan Owlbeemoth and his wife Omebi AKA the analog engineering outfit TACHYONS+. Over the years, they’ve modified...

Indie Filmmaker Jon YonKondy Employs VHS and the Shot on Video Method to Capture His First Full-Length Feature: The Coming-of-Age Film SUSQUEHANNA!

When most Tapeheads think of shot-on-video filmmaking, they’re almost immediately inclined to think of no-budget, backyard flicks oozing with gallons of homemade blood and guts. And with good reason, man. Consumer grade camcorders helped innumerable fledgling filmmakers bring their indie nightmares to flesh and tape, no matter how horrific, ham-fisted or downright insane. But filmmaker Jon YonKondy sees through the shot-on-video lens a little differently.

However, when...
