I’m sure that many who haunt these clubhouse walls can fondly recall those weekly trips to the video store. Overrun with titles of all shapes (okay, they were all rectangular) and sizes (…yeah, they were pretty much all the same size), those store shelves were a cornucopia of ocular splendor meant to dazzle and delight […]

Celebrating the rare, obscure and esoteric world of VHS video! A few weeks back I had the pleasure of being introduced to a fellow strange kid, Josh Schafer. Aside from being a fan of horror movies like Mother’s Day and The Gate, Schafer is also a collector of sorts. You name it and at one […]
