We’re cranking it to 11 with all new clips, videos, trailers and surprises – all headlined by a very special screening of the 1984 heavy metal (and aerobics) slasher classic ROCKTOBER BLOOD! Plus all the usual VHS freebies, drink specials, tape trading and a brand new, all-metal game show from the hard ‘n’ heavy Horror Boobs that is sure to blow your speakers and tweak your turntables.
The thrashin’ and slashin’ begins at 8pm, so mark your concert schedule and tease out your hair – for New York’s only VHS event completely edited and screened from actual VCRs – Accept no posers and DEATH TO FALSE ANALOG!
Get ready to bang your tape heads and slap on your studded leather as VHS Vault, Wild Eye Releasing and Horror Boobs go back to the decks and journey into the analog abyss for a tribute to all things heavy metal in the latest installment of New York’s ONLY free monthly VHS event – THURSDAY, MARCH 29th starting at 8pm!
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.
