Forbidden Planet NYC continues to be a hotbed for independent artists of all kinds. Join us on Sunday November 19th from 5 to 8PM to meet local filmmaker Rakeem J.H. Lawrence of Scared Stiff Films. Rakeem has been making horror films in NYC for over 20 years and we are proud to have him showcase his work right here on his own turf. Rakeem will have copies of his newest film Second Chance available on Blu-ray and DVD as well as DVDs of his earlier work The Date and Sinners. Posters will be available for purchase or come free with purchase of Blu rays and DVDs. Just because the spooky season is over doesn’t mean you can’t live spooky all year round, so mark your calendar, support your local creators and swing by to pick up some fresh indie horror.

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.
