Forbidden Planet gets Tromatized Thursday May 24th at 7:30 PM.
Toxic Tapeheads Rejoice! This killer collector’s edition VHS of the Toxic Avenger is limited to only 300 copies, comes on a nuclear green tape and comes in a classic oversized Big Box with a hard Clamshell case inside. Forbidden Planet is proud to play host again to Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma crew. Watch as the citizens of Tromaville take over our Union Square location. Be one of the first to own this one of a kind piece of Tromabilla and have Lloyd sign it himself! Who knows maybe even Toxie himself will slime a few autographs! So come out to Forbidden Planet on Thursday May 24th at 7:30 and grab a copy of the Toxic Avenger on VHS!
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.
