While wandering through the world weird web today, I came across an exciting addition to the ever-expanding array of video era appreciation incarnations that’ve been cavorting across the analog revival landscape, bolstering the presence of our once un(der)recognized sub-culture. You may recall some VHS love via video games earlier this year with FAR CRY 3: BLOODRAGON, and watch out now ‘cause here it comes again, only this time in a micro-gaming platform set forth by the Italy-based design studio Santa Ragione.

His PHANTOM PAIN FILMS label released the cult favorite DEVIL TIMES FIVE on limited magnetic magic a little while back, and in the meantime, Matt’s been amassing a veritable library of videos, which now reaches into a fearsome five figures range.

All of this awesomeness is happening in tandem with the Cleveland, OH screening for ADJUST YOUR...

For those who are already initiated and active in the ever-expanding Videovore community, chances are you’re familiar with Matt Desiderio AKA Matt D. AKA Katrina AKA Mattrina of Horror Boobs fame. And if you’re not, you probably should be. Matt’s a guy that’s been actively gathering slabs of analog amazement for a good spell longer than most us tapeheads, diggin’ through dust-ridden porno shops and raiding fading video liquidators raking in gobs of analog glory. And over the past few years, he’s spearheaded countless video vindication, celebration and appreciation events, made amazing analog era oriented art and crafted some of...
