The Wizard Video Re-Issues Fake? Video Evidence Says "Yes!" and Charles Band Speaks out with his Rebuttal!

Ignited nearly 3 months ago, the burning controversy persists about Charles Band’s Wizard Video big box re-issues. And now, with VHSCollector.com’s Paul Zamarelli creating a fervent and highly detailed video in an attempt to debunk the authenticity of the boxes, the debate has now been brought back to the forefront of the Videvore community bringing about a split of opinions. Chris Alexander, former Rue Morgue contributor and now Fangoria Ed-in-Chief, took the initiative to contact Band about the entire ordeal, and consequently, we now are exposed to Band’s rebuttal to all of the accusations of fraud: Clickity-click the image to...

DEATHERMAN invades your VCR and dares you to love the lousy with a dose of old-school SOV schlocky goodness!

Armed with an RCA Home Video Camera and a lifetime of low-budget movie making, director Bobby Keller has recently completed his SOV-era throwback trashterpiece DEATHERMAN. Committed exclusively to the VHS format and done up completely DIY, DEATHERMAN is the kind of film that wants you to think it’s schlocky, hokey and a bit undercooked... and have a blast the entire time. Keller revels in the so-bad-it’s-awesome state of mind, and with his newest effort invites all the Videovores out there to hunker down, kick back and frolic in the shot-on-video slop.

Phantom Pain Films brings some Video Vindication with the Cinema Wasteland Exclusive VHS Edition of DEVIL TIMES FIVE!

You know what I love about the modern Videovore? THEY DO STUFF. By this, I mean they take their analog passion and use it to create something killer to share with those of the same ilk, all the while supporting the DIY spirit and championing their (our) favorite format. All of the new VHS labels you see popping up every week, nine times outta ten, it’s the result of a rabid tapehead deciding to take the initiative and put out a tape or five. A prime example of this video vindication is the following interview with LUNCHMEAT contributor and PHANTOM...

Kickin' it with Videovore Joe La Scola and Celebrating the Video Era with His Killer Chuck Taylor Customs!

VHS is back in fashion in more ways than you might think. Scrolling through the mind-melting conveyer belt of FaceBook and venturing through the endless wormholes of the weird world web, you’re apt to find folks using VHS and the video era as launching pads for physical fashion ranging in theme from classic graphic T’s (more here) to handbags made from old VHS guts (more here and here) to sunglasses crafted from the skeleton of our favorite format. But perhaps the most exciting VHS fashion injection comes from the mega-cool brain of Mr. Joe La Scola. A co-founder of Spectrum...

Videovores in the Wild: Oversights, Silver Linings and the Thrill of Live Action Excitement!

Over here in Lunchmeat Land, we’re staunch proponents of live-action tape hunting as opposed to the now-more-popular-than-ever online tape transactions. Don’t get me wrong now: there are incredibly cool communities out there that foster groovy tape trading and sales like Horror VHS Collectors Unite and the Horror VHS Trading Center on The Book of Face, and secondary auction sites such as eBay can open doors to rare-ass tapes you may never get your claws on otherwise; but there’s a distinct and heady rush of tingling excitement when you’re rifling through a box of two for a dollar tapes, just waiting...
