From the depths of the deepest, dingiest Goodwills and dusty second-hand shops, yet another VHS-centric gadget has been uncovered! It’s the VCR VOICE from the Voice Powered Technology Company! This obscure rewind-inclined creation was yanked from oblivion by none other than my radical Videovore homie Matt Ridgeway!

With the effusive internet expansion of VHS collector culture and general analog era appreciation gaining ground in the name of nostalgia, full-blown books are simply bound to happen.

Massacre Video Teams Up with Horror Boobs to Re-Animate the Carl J. Sukenick SOV Trashterpieces ALIEN BEASTS and MUTANT MASSACRE 2 with a Fresh VHS Re-issue and Limited Edition DVD on Deck! DIG IT!

The lust among collectors for Carl J. Sukenick's scarce slice of utter SOV insanity Alien Beasts is getting VHSteamy, Tapeheads. A recent online auction exemplifies at least one or two people's burning anti-digital desire to possess this particular slice of DIY of magnetic magic (along with Sukenick’s Mutant Massacre 2) and get an unreal glimpse into Sukenick’s decidedly unique and indescribable shot-on-video vision. But the high-flying auctions and steady VHSearching are apt to soon cease. That’s right, Tapeheads: the cult film saviors at Massacre Video and those mammary movie lovin’ video vindicators at Horror Boobs Video are in motion to...

The going-rate of certain tapes in comparison to their generally accepted value, as defined by seasoned and experienced collectors. This is a subject that can set online opinions ablaze, and has the potential to display the...
