Join us on Saturday May 20th for the return of the Forbidden Planet Indie Creator Spotlight! This month meet artist/writer Darian Brenner and celebrate the release of the newest installment in Darian’s self published mini comic Vampire High School! It’s a digital glitchy, pastel witchy, candy colored, creepy world where spooky students are just trying to get through the hell that is High School, a relatable subject even if you’re not a vampire.
Darian will be selling her comics and stickers as well as doing digital commissions. The event will be from 1PM to 7PM so swing in to grab the newest issue of VHS and make sure to bring some candy cause Darian is gonna need a sugar fix to get through that long haul!

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.
