The more ardent and attentive VHS collectors out there will certainly recall Cult Movie Mania’s devastatingly deluxe VHS edition of Jonathan Lewis Louis’ sexed up and supremely bonkers BLACK DEVIL DOLL, which upon release totally blew the lid off the fresh VHS melting pot. Fast forward six months later and Andrew Allan and his Cult Movie Mania brand are still kicking analog ass, dropping groovy video vindications aplenty and spreading cult cinema solidarity with every offering. And now, CMM is preparing to bring Marcus Koch’s SOV splatter punk trashterpiece ROT back to your VCR where it belongs. But that’s not...

In a recent analog re-animation offered up by Severin Films, noted video nasty TRAUMA aka HOUSE ON STRAW HILL was released under yet another one of its alternate titles EXPOSE to accompany the film's brand-spanking new Blu-Ray / DVD release. And the best thing about the package? The tape is FREE when you pick up said Blu-ray/ DVD combo!

But there are other Videovores out there with varying inclinations when it comes to collecting magnetic magic. Take for instance, Mr. David A. Scott, the inventor of The VCR from Heck: a website dedicated to documenting public domain animation tapes and their sometimes bizarre, sometimes beautiful but...

Just about a week ago, it hit the world weird web that the limited edition luminaries over at Mondo have slapped together another slab of video vindication with a limited VHS release of Franck Khalfoun’s 2012 remake of the Bill Lustig slasher classic MANIAC. Limited to 500 copies and housed in a clamshell case with artwork derived from the Mondo poster celebrating the flick, these bad boys are issued on black tapes... but as a special bonus, Mondo will be inserting a purple tape at random. Lucky Videovore who scores that one, I wager! The full-analog package featuring the poster...
