It’s Finally here! Rolfe Kanefsky’s Sci-Fi Horror sleaze-fest There’s Nothing Out There is now on DVD thanks to our good friends Troma. Why should you care? Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma crew invaded our sacred Forbidden Planet grounds to film a new intro that is featured on this 20th anniversary DVD. Check out the intro here…
Oh yeah… did I forget to mention I’m in the intro. That’s right little ol’ me, Matt D featured in a official Troma DVD release. One of my life long dreams come true. How was I Lloyd, good enough to get a part in the next Toxic Avenger?
So come on down to Forbidden Planet and pick up a copy of There’s Nothing Out There or just get it from our web store… Duh! Oh, and don’t be shy, I do sign autographs.
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.
