As our video-crazed culture continually expands, so do the possibilities. The newest analog-oriented extension comes in the form of an absolutely incredible opportunity to feed the Videovore need: VideoSanctum.com. Tapeheads keen on the dig know that fresh to death, factory sealed copies of original video era VHS are a decidedly dope rarity indeed seldom found when found scouring the unpredictable depths of the wild. That distinct spark of analog-induced excitement that pulses through you when you uncover a pristine Prism Entertainment slip complete with the company logo emblazoned on the still fresh shrinkwrap was an experience reserved for those VHSelect...

Sex , drugs and rock n’ roll have contributed to the creation of some of the best stuff on the planet. Here in Lunchmeat Land, we hold this to be inarguable fact. Take these essential elements, mix in some genuine analog movie-making, 80s slasher sensibilities and a whole lot of intermittent battery charging, and you have the VHS vindicating labor of love that is Mark Demise’s no-budget nod to the video era Redbox Killer aka Movie Machine Massacre. Shot entirely on VHS-C with little more than a tattered Jackson and an armful of canned brews as fuel, RBK is lined...

The most analog-addicted Videovores will rightly recall Bleeding Skull! Video’s bodacious brand of rewind re-animation invading VCRs with the first official US release of the brain-smashing SOV rarity Cards of Death in association with their home video lovin’ homies at Mondo. Fast-forward just a few months later and BS!V main brains Joseph Ziemba (JZ) and Zack Carlson (ZC) are all analog-amped up to collab with the mighty Mondo once again and unleash yet another slab of impossibly obscure analog insanity with the 1987 16mm mind-melter The Soultangler. It’s available right now, for the first time ever in the US officially,...

Most magnetic magic maniacs will remember those too groovy mini-figures like Monster in my Pocket and M.U.S.C.L.E. toys that populated our pockets as we roamed the aisles of our local video store in search for our next VHS adventure. Those pint-sized playthings are in the midst of a killer comeback among the custom toy crowd (along with a ton of other custom cast figures and throwback toys), and are now even expanding into different sub-cultures and making for some truly radical mash-up manifestations. Cue Illuminatoys / Cheaptoyland.com proprietor and video era aficionado Midas Wilder. He’s teamed up with custom casters...

Attention All Tapeheads in VERMONT and surrounding areas! I was contacted by a person who purchased the ENTIRE VHS STOCK from Waterfront Video in VT, and is now looking to anti-digitally dispense them back out to the magnetically-crazed masses! It’s by appointment only, but you’re able to rifle through all these rewindable chunks of analog glory in person! So rad! You can also email them and provide a list of rewind wants, but it’s probably quicker (and more fun!) to make an appointment and look through it all, as there isn’t any action to be taken on the dealer’s part....
