Created by some of the headiest horror talent harvested from the home base of murderer and madman Ed Gein comes the Wisconsin horror film underground’s love letter to the crimson-covered macabre, Hole in the Wall. The film comprises a seven-headed directorial attack hinged on a haunted axe that hungers for flesh, wildly warping the viewer into disparate blood-drenched worlds as they venture through the offbeat anthology that is Derrick Carey’s newest indie venture. And the best part? It’s on VHS before any other format. Limited to 50 copies with a portion housed in eye-popping alternate artwork, Hole is making its...

One of the grooviest attributes of our favorite format is its ability to bring people together. With the ever-growing interest and appreciation for these magnetically magical slabs of analog, the connection between Tapeheads continues to expand through the endless wonders of the world weird web resultantly enlarging the analog-loving landscape to reaches previously unconsidered. But even with all of the VHSharing happening in analog-obsessed corners of the internet, it’s still just not the same as cracking open a couple cold ones and drinking in the joys of home video ecstasy with a bunch of other Videovores live and in-person.

The wide expanse of the wild offers Videovores many an analog treat. From the people-flooded flea markets to dingy dirt malls, the endless second-hand hubs contain piles of unloved analog glory begging to be picked up and placed back into a VCR with love and care, ready to help Tapeheads unwind with the power of play and rewind. But perhaps the most exciting random roadside encounter is the surprise existence of a still thrivin’ and jivin’ independent video rental shop. They’re a disappearing entity in the world of today, which makes it all the more exciting and interesting to see...
