Rob Michels and his crew of video era vindicators are on the verge of unleashing their first slice of analog redemption with TERRORTALES: a cheeztastic chunk of homegrown horror in an anthological homage to the gravy days of low-budget bravery with nigh lethal doses of arm rips, gunky gore, bitchy beer wenches, a shitty santa, and a dude pushing a wheelchair across a baseball diamond with a dead body just chillin’ – and that’s just from the trailer, man! They’re out to celebrate that raw power of DIY authenticity and action, re-animating dusty projects by stitching them together and committing...

Made in league with Robin Bougie’s (s)excellent publication CINEMA SEWER which scours the seedy underbelly of fringe cinema’s underbelly (you read that right!), this third installment of ROTIII arguably transcends the previous two, spewing forth a frothy overload of unbelievable, uncomfortable and at times totally embarrassing clips harvested from the deepest, dankest VHS dungeons and other unnameable appalling archives.

VHS IS DEAD proprietor Rod Lanham started dishing out tapes in the Wild Wild West fashion, slinging high-quality unofficial editions for nearly impossible to find films and effectively preserving them for the rabid fans of obscure video madness. But recently he’s turned over a new tape and decided to head into the realm of official licensing, acquiring the rights to re-animate one of the most coveted early 90s regional horror pictures there is. Rod’s been churning out amazing and affectionate VHS editions since his foray into the craft, so until this bad boy drops, Videovores all over will be abuzz...

Analog aficionado David Royal, who was once one half of the prolific and stylish Vultra Video, has recently taken flight and joined forces with a new group of film fanatics to establish and set forth Royal’s answer to the standards he wants to see thrive in the modern days of indie home entertainment production. Their first release, a VHS re-issue of Drew Bolduc’s indie messterpiece THE TAINT, is slated for release in about a month, and from looks of it, this bad boy will be a slice of home video heaven, indeed. Embrace the night. Feel the force. Live the...
