New on the shelves at Forbidden Planet this week is the sci-fi, horror, comedy hybrid MOLD! Available at our web-store and on the center counter of the NYC store.
It’s the 1984. Reagan’s War on Drugs is struggling to produce the desired results. So a secret government project is underway to create a new weapon to combat the drug cartels. That weapon: a fast growing, genetically enginered strain of mold designed to wipe out columbian coca fields. The problem? It eats humans too! When the mold is suspeciously released int the lab, a group of scientists and government officials striggle to contain the rapidly spreading contagion before it can escape the lab and threaten the outside world
Neil Meschino’s Mold is a wild ride filled with all the goo, guts, slime and splats you’ve come to expect from a classic 80’s sci-fi horror flick… yet it’s brand spanking new. This baby has modern exploitation classic written all over it. Grab your copy now!
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.
