PEOPLE OF EARTH! Join VHS VAULT, WILD EYE RELEASING and HORROR BOOBS for New York’s ONLY monthly, free VHS extravaganza and screening of TERRORVISION!
This month we celebrate that sick and symbiotic relationship between TVs and VCRs with some of the rarest clips, trailers and trivia from the heyday of horror, cult and WTF on tape and TV!
All topped off with the rare, never on DVD, Satellite dish deliciousness of 1986’s TERRORVISION!
The first VHS goes in at 8pm, and there’s plenty of food and drink available from the fine folks at The Nitehawk. Not to mention the free tapes and other stuff, a HORROR BOOBS game show, tape trading, and all the usual insanity you’ve come to expect – so set your VCR timers and get your analog ass out of the house!
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.
