Come out to the Found Footage Festival’s VCR party at Nitehawk Cinema, I’ll be there with the Horror Boobs crew presenting some classic clips.

Introducing the Found Footage Festival’s new monthly comedy show in New York, featuring new and rare VHS gems, comedians and storytellers sharing their favorite finds, and clips from notable video collectors. The inaugural show, March 20, will feature some brand-new stuff we’re working on for our Vol. 6 tour, choice selections from Derrick Beckles of TV Carnage, comedy from Leo Allen (Jon Benjamin Has a Van) and Craig Baldo (Conan), a newly discovered filmstrip by Jason Trachtenburg (Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players), clips from the good folks at HorrorBoobs.com, and perhaps an exciting celebrity drop-in. You will leave satisfied (and possibly drunk). At the awesome Nitehawk Cinema in Williamsburg.

Our friends at Brooklyn Brewery are making it an extra special night. Delicious, rarely available Brooklyn Radius beer will be served at a special price. Lager, too. Tickets are $10 and available here.

Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
